Nanowrimo!

trying to do nanowrimo for another sky verse epic fantasy book 2 draft 1. last november i managed 40k for book 1 draft 2 despite treating it as a casual go! this year i'm unsure; i'm even less intensive than last year, but trying. am at 14k right now. last year just felt so intense when it came to my weaving the first book together… i wonder how book 2 draft 1 will feel to look back on? it's actually less frustrating so far than writing book 1 felt.

i wrote the light novel's first draft in 10 days back in august too--30k--but have been dilly-dallying expanding it. still happy though.

the beginning is always rough but i'm getting more of a sense of the plot! when i get excited it feels more worthwhile, and i'm very 👁️👁️ over the ancients' nasir and shakir's potential plotline for book 2, to the point i kinda want to work on it before their current incarnations antonio and alejandro even though it's probably best to write the latter first!

we'll see how the rest goes.

a few extra picture-involved notes--including picrews--on tumblr! also have further picrews in this tag for fun.
