Current word count: 47,045 Queen Mab making wish-fulfilment dreams, the Morrigan getting crow wing tattoo, and an opera singer having a nervous breakdown. I didn't write for a week ish because of Thanksgiving and visiting friends, so now I'm cramming to finish on time. Woops. #almostdone #honestlyidontknowhowthisishappening #writersblockisreal #nanowrimo2017 #amwriting #WIPourselvesandimmortality #writerlife #writersblock #wordcountupdate

Current word count: 42,044 My babies boarded an interdimensional bus. Their fellow travellers include: -the muses singing 99 Bottles of Beer -a large dog wearing a crown, presumably a god of some sort -Freyja in a wig and trenchcoat thinking she's incognito My procrastination level today: cleaned my entire house and then conceptualised and hand-made Christmas decorations out of rubbish I found in my compound. Spoiler alert, putting off writing does not make it easier. #honestlywritersblockissoreal #ihavenoideawhatsgoingon #butlookimadeasnowmanoutofabrokenjar #sendhelp #nanowrimo2017 #amwriting #WIPourselvesandimmortality #writerlife #writersblock #wordcountupdate

Current word count: 38,015 Thr party has been accidentally separated, and Lucy may or may not be turning a little bit mortal, which may or may not result in ghosts overrunning the world.

Current word count: 36,080 There are no clever lines or fun plot points today. Today was hard. Today felt like slogging through a hip-deep swamp of irrelevant ideas. But I wrote. That's what matters. The expresion on my face here is basically how I feel about my writing atm, and it's also pretty representative of how I felt about that baby, who kept crying and who is part of why I didn't write much—I got visited by a lot of people for a long time and by the time I got to writing it was night and I was falling asleep. #thecutestdistraction #butalsotheloudest #writersblock #todayishard #imgivingmyselfcreditfortrying #nanowrimo2017 #amwriting #WIPourselvesandimmortality #writerlife #wordcountupdate

Current word count: 27,982 My children are currently sassing the god of parties in his own club. This is not going to go well for them. Honestly I didn't get much written today bc I was writing in a lovely coffee shop and there were a lot of excess humans and it was distracting. #butidrankcoffeesoimarealwriter #stopsassingimmortalsbabies #youregoingtoregretthis #thegodofpartiesissuchafratboy #nanowrimo2017 #amwriting #WIPourselvesandimmortality #writerlife #wordcountupdate

Current word count: 18,225 "Anyone else want to come on a field trip through the void of death to Paris to complain to the previous god of the dead that he's slacking on the job?" Today was a good writing day. My children still don't want to leave New York, so we solved the problem by dragging them into the void whether they like it or not. #theydontwannakicktheotherkidsbutt #theyhavetogoquesting #theydontgetachoiceinthis #theyllthankmelater #ornot #nanowrimo2017 #amwriting #WIPourselvesandimmortality #writerlife #wordcountupdate

Current word count: 16,024 Favourite line from today: "Yeah, eating is one of the perks of being human. We don't live so long but we get to taste some great stuff along the way." Also, today brought us our first genuinely cute moment between main characters, and Things are Happening so that's exciting. I spent all of yesterday more or less delirious (I did write about 200 words, most of them incoherent), so it was nice to get back to writing today. #todayilikethisproject #charlieandlucyarejusttoocute #imreallyinlovewithmycharacters #nanowrimo2017 #amwriting #WIPourselvesandimmortality #writerlife #wordcountupdate
