So I ended up doing it. I wrote my first sex scene. I just put on the horny Hozier playlist and did my best. I'm rather proud of it. Even if, at 4,800 words it's more than double my shortest chapter. And most of it is horny. It felt weird putting it in it's own chapter, plus then all my planned chapter numbers will get out of wack. So, for this iteration, it's all in chapter thirteen.

I'm now on Chapter 14, which begins with a nothing section that I'm not even sure how to tackle yet. yay. hopefully sleep will help and that'll be tomorrow's problem. I love leaving things for tomorrow!

In other news, we cracked 40k! That' exciting, according to my instruments I'll have finished writing this thing on day 60, which will be... the 29th of April, baring any unforseen issues. I have another trip to Brisbane in there, so we'll see what happens.

In slightly other news, I discovered that I'm NOT vaccinated for HPV as I should have been in probably year 8. because MY PARENTS decided to traumatise me instead! (nothing horrible, we just lived in Japan for 2 years, it's a whole thing) But yay, another thing I can be annoyed at them about.

In other, other news, I need to get fuel for my car... I was hoping to ride it out a little longer, but I do need to, which means spending a small fortune RN. I have the money, it's just anxiety inducing now. Getting fucking FUEL is ANXIETY INDUCING. I hate it. Anyway, signing off because this is meant to be a writing blog.

Today was a little harder to write. There were some sections which were easy enough. but others I just felt like there was nothing there. I'm up to a section I had a lot of trouble planning. Mainly because the brief was essentially: 'this is the part of the book where things happen. The detective detects, Action happens etc' and like... IDK the bakers bake? They fall in love? that's not a plan!

anyway, not looking forward to tomorrow! Because I just pushed the ball down the road a little today!

LOL I THOUGHT THIS POSTED YESTERDAY. I PROMISE I DID WRITE YESTERDAY!

I'm up to part two of the book now! I'm not sure how I'm gonna section it. I'm thinking at least 3 sections maybe? Not including the prologue and epilogue I guess. But regardless.

I wrote a scene I didn't really have a plan for today which was... torture. I had an idea of what was going to happen but when it came down to it the scene had changed from that brief so that didn't happen lol. THEN I got to write from a new perspective which was nice. Although IDK how Character it is. That's for future me to work out!

Overall P happy with how much I wrote/what I wrote which is nice. Still not happy about the length of Chapter 7, but what can you do?

I got up to the midpoint of the story today!! yaaay! I almost forgot tbh. Went for a walk this morning which took me up to lunch time, made some flowers, then was gonna do something else when I realised I still had this to do!

Things went a little better today, I didn't feel like I was constantly watching the timer or the word counter. AND I got up to the midpoint, which is (obviously) something I've been looking forward to since starting this iteration. I'm not sure how I'll got with everything else, as usual emotions wise it's all downhill from here. Well. The emotions get bigger, but from memory it's a lot of anxiety and worry and 'oh no, how will I do this?' and not a lot of 'and then she did this' so I'm kinda not looking forward to the next week or so until I get my bearings again.

I've been getting back into reading again by reading the Percy Jackson series which I love. Haven't seen the second season yet of the show, but am just enjoying Sea of Monsters atm. Trying to look at it and see how he does things, but he's (rick Riodan) is writing for kids, so IDK, maybe a lot of it doesn't actually apply to me? Ugh why do I do this to myself?

So uh, it's been a few days. I did start to write a different scene, but I think I'm a little burnt out on the story, so I have decided that since I finished the draft, WEDIA has finished early.

I'm incredibly proud of myself, I know I made a bunch of rules about finishing within 5% of the goal, but things change, and at 96K I'm happy with the size of the novel. Expanding it out just to make word count at this stage is futile and pointless, as the whole thing is going to get rewritten anyway.

I've actually finished the book! I can't believe it. the scenes sort of happened a little quicker than I was intending and then I was writing Finis and it was done! I think I could definitely do a better epilogue. I think I struggled when I didn't want to write a whole scene, in my head it was just a quick 2 second thing or something (which of course doesn't line up with the 1000 word count I gave myself.

I am still intending to write tomorrow. (I gave myself a little break today and said I didn't have to write more than I did) Probably going to write little scenes to build up my skills or something, I'm not too sure. Also probably not going to share them here as I really hate AI and I don't want AI to scrape my work.

I'm really proud of myself for writing a whole-ass book in pretty much exactly 2 months! I don't think I'll necessarily challenge myself to do that for every rewrite as it was very mental-labour intensive for me. Honestly I don't know how full time writers write ALL DAY. That's so much day!

That said, 4,100 minutes is only 2.8 full days so IDK But either way, I'm not getting paid to do this and I have other responsibilities so yeah. MAYBE once a year.

I have got a plan for rewrites. I'm going to map each scene as I read it and then focus on rewriting each scene more than reaching a wordcount.

Had an alright writing session. Still dealing with this medical issue so I wrote in several sessions. It worked surprisingly well actually. I'm back in a better section where I planned better (I hope) so things are going a lot better now. I decided to just delete the scene I skipped over. I had no idea how to write it, even after several days of thinking so that chapter is just real short. Despite all the short chapters, I'm still within my word count goals.

Overall I do want it to be within 5% of 100k ish, but realistically I'd be happy if I were above 90k, and I think so far I can still get there. Maybe. Just?

I think as much as I enjoy writing emotional spirals, I think I do need to get better at writing spirals that don't get resolved in one scene. Because, like, yeah we're human and IDK about you but I like to cheer people up if they're not doing well, but at the same time sometimes issues are bigger than that and they can't just get resolved because someone said something funny?
