When I Started: This idea originally came to me in December 20222. I just never got around to working on it while working on my other fics as well as losing all writing motivation, and becoming busy with work and life.

How I Lost My Shit: Essentially from the start as it took me two years to pick up this idea again.

How I Finished My Shit: By buckling down around a lot of big work and life events, as well as vacations. Granted, I 'lost my shit' again when posting throughout this month, as I ended up posting the last four chapters today. It helped that on days when I wasn't feeling like writing, I allowed myself to take the time off. It also helped that I liked my story idea. Due to time constraints, there were a few things I had to cut out, I'm sure you can tell by the pacing, that I wanted to embellish more, but it helped me break from my Korrasami bubble. While they are a fun pairing to write for, I found myself writing Korrasami because it is a popular pair whereas when I started I wrote for them. After all, I like them. Now, I write whatever pairings I am called to write, even if it won't get as much reception as Korrasami.

Thank you to my artist ninjafilmspro, for their fanart for this fic! I greatly enjoyed working with Xem. Great communicator and easy to work with. Here is their art below! And you will see it in the corresponding chapter in the story. Thank you so much Ninja!

Fuck NaNoWriMo

It's always been a shit way to write a book. Slamming through fifty thousand words in a month leads to burnout and a garbage draft you'll spend more time unfucking than if you'd actually just paced yourself.

I'm proposing Novel Outline November

Start with your idea on November 1st.

Write something for your novel every day. The only unacceptable amount is 0.

Attempt to complete the plot in 50K words. Stick with that as a limiting factor so you focus on what's most important to your story.

When it's done it's done! Everyone is a winner!

You will

Develop good writing habits

Challenge yourself to write long form

Create a base that can be expanded into commercial fiction (70-100K) or genre fiction (100-110K)

Happy writing!

It’s important to remember that the point of a hobby is to have fun not “get better”

Imagine if someone who reads as a hobby was constantly told they would “get better” or asked “are you improving”

Now stop saying this to artist/fiber artist/dancers/anyone that has any hobby where they make things

Stop putting pressure on our fun enjoyable time by putting standards and expectations on it. If I suck at embroidery oh Fucking well i suck but I like doing it it’s FUN that’s the whole point is having FUN
