Happy birthday month to me baby. Does that mean I’m taking a break all month long? Would be a good bday present to myself–
HAH.
Weirdly enough I think if I stop writing I might actually crumble into a fucking abyss. This year’s been pretty damn miserable overall.
No… this month I’m tackling a monster that’s haunted me since it was canned in 2021.
I’m not taking a full break from FWT because I’d like to finish that manuscript this month too so I can move on to a few more things before nano… we’re halfway there I’m in the trenches on some of the more nebulous parts of the script so they’re a bit slower to truck through… which means having something adjacent might mean it’ll make it easier.
No I think I’ll be writing & posting the first draft of H&H here for you to read as I go… heh. I think I need the kind of energy fanfic writers have. Just fucking pedal to the metal and go.
So, enjoy my unhinged shit as I go. If I like the feel & process I have a much longer story I’d like to tackle with this just straight ahead gumption.

I can explain!
So things started off very strong this month but uhm…. various other things were pulling me away, including some deadlines woops~ Hopefully September will be a little bit more successful.
OVERALL THOUGHTS
Okay so it wasn’t the most successful month. BUT–it wasn’t the worst~
I spent most of this month doing admin and scrambling to keep up with an inking deadline so writing got pushed to the wayside… especially since FWT got itself stuck on an action sequence (ugh). But it’s still moving, just slower. I’ve cleared a LOT of shit off my plate for September so… finger’s crossed I can get FWT’s first draft finished by then.
