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.

The Importance of Revisions: Tips for Improving Your Writing
Writing is a creative process that requires dedication, skill, and the willingness to revise and improve. 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

My commissions are back open! There are five slots available and the prices are in GBP. If you're interested or have any questions DM me or email me at [email protected]!
#gonna elaborate real quick on the doodle style option since it's new!#it's a style more in line with the doodle requests i do through kofi where i just do a sketch and then colour it in#things that are different from the doodle requests are that the drawing can be as complicated/have as many characters as you want#like a ususal commission#and i'll also check in throughout the drawing process to show you the art as i'm working on it#and you can tell me any revisions/changes you'd like me to make!#commission info#art commissions#commissions open

Tips for revising a short story opening sentence:
Re-write the first sentence of a short story 12 times in under a minute
Lose all track of how English works
Text said sentence to 3 people
Google how long palm trees live even though "old-growth" is a subjective descriptor
Re-write the sentence two more times
Switch the words 'cab' and 'car' back and forth until you leave it the way it was originally
Question your own childhood memories
Google if Spanish moss can live on palm trees
Curse AI summaries
Google if Spanish moss can live on palm tress + Reddit
Write this post
You know what the sentence might actually be fine
Should the M in moss be capitalized?
No

"the author didn't want to include romance but her relatives forced her to write one so now she's being forced to write fourteen books of romance :(((( poor her :(((" they're talking about a grown ass woman by the way
#chel babbles#the apothecary diaries#guys. do you know when the first novel came out?#2014. and she's been making the same story since 2011.#look. im a writer. if i was 'forced' to write a romance into an original story I would've immediately lost my motivation.#i wouldn't spend... what? ten years writing something thst won't enjoy me. bc guess what? we can do and WRITE what we want.#sometimes writers take advice or criticisms from people around them and they think it over and add it into the story#sometimes they will change their premise to fit the idea in their heads which is what natsu did#and that is completely OKAY. it is part of the creative process. you make new ideas you want to try and revise old drafts#she was also using hyperbole and was being sarcastic. it's weird that when women joke you guys take it seriously to reimburse the ideals#you have for this story. god forbid a woman make a funny joke

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? 👀
#mailbox#heart wants what it wants#new chapter is alllmost done if it’s any consolation#i’m foaming at the mouth i need to speak#yet i cant because we’re only 2 parts in 🥹💔#i’m glad u guys seem interested and invested tho so far LOL#i’ve been secretly thinking of this lil series alllll week#GYAHH i will try to be faster for yall tho bc i reaaaally wanna show y’all what’s next#i’m about to start the revision process as we speak 💯#i know i cant really answer these but thank U for this ask 💕#i adore hearing yalls thoughts and theories hehe ✨

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.
#40k#primaris marines#like if anything I think they should have made them even more different than oldmarines#to the point where they very literally *are* intended to be upgrades in some fashion#either in ease/reliability of creation or actual ability#or both#I personally would have had them be “streamlined” astartes that lack a lot of “advanced/niche” features of marines#in exchange for a much less demanding selection process and a much higher survival rate#augmented by Cawl-designed (and ofc primaris only) gear that Bobby G is putting a lot of resources into stockpiling#Primaris should be a revision to the design meant to address the flaws and weaknesses of the Astartes *from guilliman's perspective*#easier to produce easier to replace more reliant on imperial supply lines and locked down so they can't rebel without leaving everything#ultima founding chapters also should have had *very* short leashes and been Minotaurs tier agents of Imperial will#maybe even have some that are clearly out to eat other chapters' lunch and occupy their niches#especially problematic/autonomous chapters#hammer home the “we're replacing you with the upgraded models” message

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.”
#liya.updates#its so long and its also KICKING MY ASS!!!!!!#why is he so hard!!!! to write about!!!!!!!#his thought process... shaking my head rn#this is also a fic that will need intense edits and revisions until im happy with it. i can tell.

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.
#no but really when it comes to trying to express my thoughts in a moment i need to be able to my mind goes fully static & suddenly idk words#but like a month later i’m standing in the shower or laying in bed unable to fall asleep and suddenly i’m a pro debater and conversationali#conversationalist*#this is why written mediums in academia like long form essays and papers that i’ve been given in advance are my bread and butter#because i can take my time with the writing process and revisit revise and edit over the span of a month or even a few#except for the times where i procrastinated till the last minute and pulled all nighters to meet the deadline#somehow in those moments i was still able to pump out something good#but i guess it’s less a time related issue and rather a situation of me feeling overwhelmed by having to respond to someone immediately#in an active conversation#and fearing that i may sound dumb or inarticulate#or wait. that does fall into a time issue but the overarching or deeper problem is the fear of sounding dumb or inarticulate#especially when the other person is so well-spoken#like i can’t imagine anyone here would guess i was a whole ass writing major in my undergrad (creative and professional writing streams)#although the focus landed largely creative even in the more rudimentary and technical courses#okay this was supposed to be a lighthearted post but apparently i’ve turned it into a moment of introspection on one of my deepest#insecurities#or ig adjacent to my deepest insecurity#let’s go back to the lightheartedness#and think about me very animatedly talking to a wall in my shower#or arguing with a wall i should say#:p#zahraa’s bakwaas

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
#ngl what helps me a lot is that i've put some sort of a schedule for myself#i'm trying to do one every 14 days or so and now i might feel guilty enough since it's day 15 that i will actually go at it#blessings of adhd i guess#i can write 5k words and a full chapter without need for revisions (other than grammar) in like six hours B U T#if I don't#it's suffering#comments help immensly though because I reread them when I need to kick myself into a writing mood#like not to beg for them this is me being grateful they're wonderful and are atp a very important part of my process lol#thank you a lot i appreciate you dearly ^^#idk personal?#writing vent#kawa rambles
