it's been a while since i've done an accountability thread but they're fun soooo here's one for my current wip. i'm expecting it to be somewhere between 10-15k but i'd love for it to be under 10k ultimately. we'll see.
starting word count as of this morning: 370.
the draft is becoming more disjointed as it grows. i struggle when i don’t have a thorough outline in place but over outlining can drain my muse from a project so i’m trying a middle of the road approach. it’s going ,, eh. hopefully i can catch my stride somewhere in it.
updated word count: 1070.
i only remember this blog exists every once and a while because i don't write as regularly atm. i've just been busy with work lol i am still really enjoying this draft although i haven't added much to it. i'm loving imogen's pov and how she interacts with history as it sets in motion what my main cast will be forced to deal with the repercussion of lol
current word count: 1530

ASMLP Accountability - Finale
It is done. At last, it is done. The first draft of A Sharper, More Lasting Pain has been completed. It's been a long time in the making, clearly, but I'm one step closer to having a finished novel to place on the shelf with other finished novels.
But I'm getting a little ahead of myself.
Today, I did a writing livestream to incentivize myself to write the ending of this novel. If you missed it, the replay can be found here. Regardless, I did it. I finally typed the words "the end".
...For this draft, anyway.
I'm going to put this novel in a drawer for a little bit and let it marinate. After that, I'll come back to rewrite it
Did you know you can read the current draft of ASMLP right now for free? Three websites, three ways to read.
Wattpad || Royal Road || ScribbleHub
Now that this draft is finished, I'll finish uploading the rest of the novel soon. But, if you feel like subbing to my Patreon, you can read the whole novel in its messy glory right now (or piecemeal, depending on your tier, but I plan to have the rest of the chapters uploaded in the next few days).
I'm going to do some more posts in the next few days recapping the novel-writing experience and some of my favorite bits and such, but for now I am tired and I am going to go to sleep for a while.

three pictures challenge
heavy as stone ( intro here )
The moment it took to ascend the staircase and walk the trip to Mrs. Hallewell’s room was both a scream and a gasp. On the threshold, Catherine turned on her and Marianne couldn’t help but flinch.
“You have to know that I have missed you, Mary. Every night my dreams smell of you and my nightmares wear your face and taunt me in your voice. I am haunted by you.”
Catherine’s grip was punishing but Marianne found herself unable to resist. The corridor was silent, the dust stirred only where their skirts dragged, leaving behind a tangled trail of them both in the dark.
“I’ve missed you too.” It was agony to pull away from Catherine but she forced herself to do so. “But we are not the same girls we were before, Catherine. I have changed.”
Catherine released her with a quiet sob that she smothered with one thin hand. She was a faded echo of the capricious and vibrant young girl that had enthralled Marianne so thoroughly. There was bruising under her eyes, heavy-lidded and sable-colored, and a thinness to her frame that spoke of neglect.
“You are the same, Mary,” she whispered through her fingers, breath heavy in the silence. “I would know if you had changed. We have the same heart, still.”
i had intended to do more with this post but it’s been in my draft for like… six months. so this will be all lol i still intend to finish this story but i’ll likely have to rewrite most of it. for now have a part that i still really like~
new wip new wip new wip 🔪
well, really more of a wipette if you will. i’ve decided to spin together Imogen’s story pre-book 1. which is like 100 years before, actually. so here’s a little treat of a much younger Madeleine saying something so mean it totally gives Imogen a complex about her smell for… well, life.

one thing about me is that i will lose my mind about the personification of the house
this house hates you. this house loves you. this house wont ever let you leave. this house has eyes & a mouth. you could make this house speak. you could make this house cry. this house has seen the worst parts of you & wants to keep you inside it forever. this house will die with you. etc.
