#eoj update

first of all, let's start with a weather broadcast. today is a rainy/cloudy day. it's gonna rain until mid-afternoon, and then sundry skies for the rest of the evening.

BUT GET THIS--HEAT WAVE IS OVER.

SLAYYYYY

i need to acc stop saying slay. my roommate during uni is the reason why i started, i'm pretty sure. she said slay a lot, and at a certain point, i started saying it back. i love when people rub off on you like that tho. i know i've rubbed off on a lot of people when i was younger, but i don't think i've touched someone's soul like that recently.

ANYWAYS, WHY AM I BEING SENTIMENTAL????

okay, in other news, eoj word count is 22k. i didn't finish the 1.5, but i did finish the 1 chapter, so imma try and go for another one today. mwah, i love the AK case, this is genuinely so hype.

real talk tho... DO I SEEM LIKE A SADIST TO YOU GUYS??? BECAUSE WHY ARE ALL MY WRITEBLR MUTUALS (except leah and smihi mwah mwah <3) SAYING I AM????

I'M NOT.

i dont ENJOY the tragic endings my characters receive. but its the natural conclusions to their stories, a lot of the time. i can't have the lc arc as a plot arc and NOT have the character end up with lifelong ptsd and long-term therapy? sure, they'll be happier at the end, but it just doesn't feel right to me to say "happily ever after..." no matter how badly i want to.

same thing with the war arc. i can't have a whole WAR ARC, and then not have some of the soldier come out with critical injuries, psychological damage, ruined cities, and deaths. it sucks, and i don't enjoy it, but i can't VOID that.

anyways, i know they're kidding lmao its not that serious, but i still wanted to yamble about why i make the choices i make, so womp womp.

anyhow, writing time!

literally just here to report my word count. no real exciting news for xoxo nav ngl. my mood has been tanking so much recently, womp womp. i think i might take some time offline to recharge myself.

anyways...

eoj word count: 63.4k

kk goodnight.

xoxo,

okay eoj progress update—i’m 16k through the book so far, somehow. i started last night. i don’t know wtf has come over me but wow.

eoj is at 119k. i am almost done the chapter i’m working on. i also have work in two days for the next week, so tomorrow is my last writing day until next monday. regardless, i have an event to go to today (in the next hour, acc), and then birthday plans for khushi because she was sick on the actual day of.

so last night was rough womp womp. LMAO it wasn't acc, i just freaked myself tf out for no reason. eoj is getting intense, DEEP into the investigation, now that one of the significant deaths have happened.

i finished the chapter this morning acc. AND GET THIS. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

WE'RE AT THAT CHAPTER.

THAT ONE.

iykyk. basically its the chapter with the death that sends evan spiralling.

YIKES FOREVER.

wish me luck yall. today's a rainy day tho, so imma go on my walk now before the rain starts. i'll probably update yall more throughout the day because i was so vacant yesterday.

also, i see the messages in my inbox, lmao. i shall get to them later <3

mwah mwah!

i am unsettled.

i wrote a…. how else to i describe it? it was just creepy. it made me feel like i was being watched while writing the scene. i don’t know. i felt disturbed.

so yeah. LMAO. not the greatest decision at 2am. nonetheless, i have to give my word count so far, and then ill probably log off and look at polar bears or something to make me feel better. idk why i felt so terrified in that scene, but it made me stop and reconsider finishing the chapter.

anyways! lmao sorry for the sucky vibes.

eoj word count: 44.2k

kk. goodnight!

xoxo,

first of all...

hilarious. my inbox is always filled with some sort of shenanigan. it's always so goofy.

anyhow, i woke up far earlier than my body requires, but i'm kinda glad for it? i need to fix my sleep schedule so it was a bit necessary. regardless, i don't think i dreamt of anything? no that's a lie i know for a fact i had a dream, i just don't know what.

also, my smoothies these days have NOT been hitting and i'm so upset about it. acc--do you guys want my smoothie recipe? i have this every morning. it's nothing special, but it slaps SO hard

nav's morning smoothie extravaganza:

blueberries (idk. i measure with the heart. about a cup?)

1 yellow banana (not too spotty or ripe. we're not making banana bread. but not underripe either)

1 scoop vanilla protein powder

1 tsp MCT oil OR 1 tsp of coconut

1 tsp of cocoa powder OR cacao nibs (you're gonna have to blend for longer but it is better with cacao nibs ngl)

1:2 ratio of milk:water, your choice of milk (i just use regular 2%)

blend it all together. it should be a light purple colour. mwah. drink it. feel the power of naveena course through your bones.

my roommate is the one who got me deep into blueberry smoothies. she liked adding half a date to hers, but i dont like how sweet that makes it, so i don't bother. also, if my bananas are overripe, i'll only add half.

anyways, my smoothies haven't been hitting recently because my mom got chocolate protein powder, which is normally fine because i'll just add vanilla extract with it, BUT IDK WHY ITS NOT HITTING RIGHT NOW? womp womp this is so sad.

anyways, eoj update--imma try to write another chapter today. we're dipping out toes into the investigation because SOMEONE died, and i can't say who. i decided to read a chapter last night and the vibes of eoj are so interesting? they feel like a smooth transition from gotn, but if i tried comparing eoj to cos, i'd be extremely jarred.

ANYHOW, i had something else i wanted to say but now i can't remember. womp womp. kk toodles ciao bye!
