#writing update

Bad News: I am definitely writing out of my comfort zone (first time writing first person POV in actual years, fic itself is consistently more serious than what I usually write, had to write two beginnings before going back to the first one).

Good News: I'm stretching my creative muscles and pushing myself to try something new. It is only through practice will my skills ever improve.

In case you missed it, the big news is that I have started posting new parts of a little in love. (you can see the new banner at the link, too). I'm planning to do a post-a-chapter-every-three-days schedule, which means there will be another one tomorrow. It seems like a lot of people are happy to see it back, so that's been nice!

As far as act v, the only thing I really have left is the epilogue. It's been kind of hard to write, for reasons I'm having trouble putting my finger on. There's no real pressure, though, and I'm making slow-but-steady progress on it, so I think that's fine. It's about 1300 words at the moment, so maybe it's about 1/3 done?

(as an aside, I am pretty sure that this dumb fanfic is going to come in at jussssssst enough under 200k words that I can't just add a paragraph somewhere to get it over the line. enormously irritating. on the other hand, there's also the possibility that me or my beta might decide I need to add something during the editing stage. that would be even more annoying)

I also did a small art project this week, just for fun. I really liked the toolkit I used for that one, and I'm trying to figure out other things I can do with it. I do really need to finish my other new banner. I did the sketches, I just need to color them, which I'm hoping to do, maybe this weekend.

So… I kept it quiet until the agreement was fully signed, but I have been contracted to write female-centric erotica! 🎉

It’s just one short story for now, but I’m hopeful it may lead to more. Time will tell🤞

If nothing else, it’s a privilege to be approached and I’m so excited my writing may reach a new audience beyond the Bridgerton fandom!
