I have finished the #zerodraft of #OracleWIP ! Yay! This one had good bones to start and it’ll be a delightful world building challenge for me. It’s a beautiful story, and I can’t wait to refine it and share it ✨ So happy!!

OracleWIP is at 23k words and so far I have:
(1) giant sea monster
(2) people with sexual tension
(5) dangerous deities
(1) magical snake with secrets
(1) naïve oracle who has no idea what she’s gotten herself into

Every time I read over #OracleWIP I get disappointed when it ends. Like why haven’t I written the whole thing yet?? Haha. Guess that’s a good sign #FirstDraft

I finished my first reread on April 28. The next step with #OracleWIP is to make a list of areas that need to be expanded/trimmed, themes to focus on, and how I want to develop certain relationships 🌌 And a list of *universal issues to look at

One of my hobby dreams is to have the chance to learn scrimshaw (sustainably), but even if it’s not on whale bone, I love to imitate the textures of historical illustrations ✍🏻 #OracleWIP map

I finished the zero draft of #OracleWIP on March 26 (woo!!), so for the first time ever I’m going to actually attempt to document my #editingprocess from start to finish. Maybe it’ll be helpful or even somewhat interesting to someone out there in the digital void✨

I know early edits are supposed to be chaotic and messy, but I feel like I’m barely making any progress 😭 It’ll be fine, I just feel like I’m struggling to get a handle on #OracleWIP
