IT'S DONE! I have finished the initial scene by scene basic analysis step of revision prep!

This book is a mess. I have so many scenes to add, a few of which I have no bloody clue how to write. And there's a few instances of characters realizing the exact same thing more than once. But, I've been reading the rest of this chapter in my revision book and apparently the next steps are to map out the plot arcs and character arcs. So, that will tell me exactly where my issues are. I'll be starting on that tomorrow.

But, step 1 is DONE.

While the initial draft of a piece may capture the essence of your ideas, it is through the process of revisions that your writing truly comes to life.

my partner, trying desperately to help me find a neat, tidy, logical conclusion, expressing all sorts of totally normal things that a story could do while i just thrash around on an enormous crocheted blanket it took her months to finish

me, sitting in the car after a drive at 6 am, furiously typing some of the weirdest shit i've ever bothered with, because it's emotionally satisfying, and it gets us where we need the plot to go

my partner, diligently requesting to read the work and upholding her part of the bargain: no comments until i'm done

me, relishing in building a monster i didn't dream of until five minutes ago, leaning as hard into fuckin wild times as i can

I've been patiently waiting for more of the HWWIW Sylus fic, and I realized you also did the Love is a Bitch fic pair. Would you think Stepdad Sylus wants more kids? Or I suppose he might be more focused on his current family right now, I am curious long term how he'll be keeping MC closer to home since she already left before.

First i just wanna say thank u for your patience my friend 💗 I know i’m pretty slow on updates… which i apologize for :,] BUT i do plan to hopefully be more consistent & whatnot soon!!

it’s funny u bring up LIAB because the other night i was working on outlines of future parts and contemplated using ‘love is a bitch’ for one of the upcoming chapter titles LOL. i think the lyrics for that song fit veeeery well 👀 AHEM but i think i’ll restrain myself lol :,)

Now dont stone me for this but… i cant really give a full answer on this 😭 NOW i will say that this will be explored in the story tho; i actually have a scene regarding this laid out in my notes for whenever i decide to add it in a future chapter lol.

…but because i feel bad & hate to give you guys metaphorical blue balls like this, i will give a non-answer. or a little rhetorical question if u will.

Sylus and Mc’s mom were married for around 7 years in the series. Yet, notice that there has been no new additions to the family 🤔 hrmmm why could this be…. could it be because sylus doesn’t want more kids? or because of mc’s mom? both? 👀

I feel like the Primaris should have been the catalyst for like, an imperial civil war. At the very least, much unrest in the house of Guilliman. Their existence, let alone rollout/integration, should have had many chapters absolutely rioting. It should be beyond the pale by several orders of magnitude and be seen as an enormous overreach by the more autonomy loving chapters, a blasphemy by the more orthodox chapters, and an existential threat to chapters with geneseed quirks. Plus anyone with any awareness of the thunder warriors should take one look at them and recognize the writing on the wall. Guilliman should absolutely recognize what they represent, what they imply. Like they're the leading wave of a paradigm shift that doesn't bode well for what came before. And I say this as someone who's not averse to Primaris, I just think they could've, should've, been a waaaay bigger deal. I know they loathe changing the status quo and we're never getting rid of the posterboys but I think we missed out on something interesting.

gamers it's so over.... 3.6k words into harumasa pov fic and i still have like three or four different sections to write. maybe more, depending on if i think it needs it for context/build up. Quick snippet under the cut btw

“Harumasa, look at me.” A rustle of fabric. Your gloves flutter to the dirt below, stark and black. And then— warm hands. The warmest hands he’s ever felt, cradling his face, bringing his wane face to yours.  A smear of blood across your cheek. Sweat heading across your forehead. But your eyes are beautiful, steadfast and luminous. Like the moon, lighting his way home. “You’re okay,” you say, voice so quiet, as if it’s meant for no other ears than his. “You’re okay, I promise.”

my ability to articulate my thoughts and speak my mind in a clear and intelligent way is so good and beautiful when i’m in the shower months after the fact.

am realizing with horror and great annoyance that if i don't write a chapter in one go and then post it immediately, i get hit with a huge wave of 'oh i hate this actually' and it becomes almost impossible for me to finish it

i really have to power through that one and i think i will hate it until it's posted but i'm just. so annoyed with myself. I've been writing it on three separate days already it feels shitty and boring and bad but I know it's just cause I haven't finished it already
