It’s been one hell of a weird month emotionally and stress-related so, to hell with it I’m counting things like tabletop notes because I DO edit them to be legible for Recaps the next day for our team! The last two sessions have been Downtime so extra care goes into note taking because THAT’S when all the juicy bits happen.
Otherwise, there’s a lot of editing on TAKE OUT right now because I really want to Finish this project before I hop onto the next thing and get distracted. Its hard though, I’m in the trenches on some of the really sweet stuff with JD & FRANKIE in this chapter so I’m struggling trying to figure out how much is Too Much and when to pull back vs really illustrating what these characters are all about.
We’ll get there, we’ll get there.

How is it already the last week of February….
Wow time sure does fly when you’re doing things and being productive huh! Safe to say, this month feels a little bit more indicative of what a normal month with a daily wc is going to look like.
I have to say…. that despite my slow-down this month (missed days and distractions), I sure feel like I’m brimming with even more ideas and inspiration than I have in a long time.
You’ll maybe notice that um…NARCISSUS has made it up there in the roster. I think that’s going to be my next MYTH RETOLD… we’ll see were it takes me though. It’s also a bit of a proof of concept for my XENIA draft. I’ll be back for her… some day.
Its been nice. I don’t remember the last time I was feeling this Charged with inspiration. I’m trying to channel it into actually Finishing TAKE OUT before I fully jump into something new.
It’s getting there, though! I’m working on the next chapter and that one’ll take me to just about the half way mark!

I swear I blinked and here we are at the end of the month. Admittedly I spent a lot of it editing TAKE OUT (as mentioned above) 2 episodes were really giving me grief ….because they were both episodes that, as i was writing the whole first draft, I pretty much told myself ‘i’ll go back and fix it in post’…. well here we are in post huh.
I’d like to think it’s all uphill from here for me…. but we’ll see…… either way I’m having fun hehe.
REGARDLESS. I’m having a lot of fun fine-tuning and editing. I’m kind of itching to start a new draft soon, though. Maybe March will give me a bit more flexibility. Maybe I can wrap up this story–
ANYWAY I STILL MANAGED LIKE 22k WORDS this month which I’m happy about! Lots more spurts.
This new sprinting group’s made writing much easier lately. Sometimes you just need a little push haha.
Well. That’s all for Feb~
