updates
10:37:00 AMthere were no posts in November because i was busily combating NaNoWriMo.
and
(i had to steal this gif from abbie because david tennant)
i hit 50k the night before November 30th, and got to 51,058 (according to the NaNo website) and 51,061 (according to my calculator) by the next day. not sure what happened there... but three words don't make much difference - I WON!
i'm by no means done - maybe a third of the way there? but progresssss.
there was definitely a bit of despair in there, but i pulled through. i kept having to remind myself:
all a first draft needs to do is exist.
and it's doing pretty okay at existing. i just need to pull myself out of my "well deserved break" (i.e. being lazy *hides in a corner*) and get back to the grindstone.
to get some inspiration going, (or maybe just because procrastination,) i've been making aesthetic edits / moodboards / whatever you want to call them for my characters. as if i don't already have that on my novel pinterest. anyways, without further ado, my two main characters and a supporting character:
Adele
Gawain
Isabel
they're my precious, epic, broken outlaw babies..... i'll be making more at some point so maybe they'll show up here!
in other news, life has been pretty quiet. finals week is looming, but i'm not too worried, and we're getting our Christmas tree today!
reading: Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo
listening: We as Human, The Crown soundtrack, Nevertheless, Christmas music
watching: Agent Carter
making: Christmas presents!!
