I think instead of doing Nanowrimo I'll just try and do my big writing push in December. Not even 50k words, just Daily Writing on anything at all.

Me when I change my OC's last name to something that sounds better, only to realize a few minutes later that I already have an (unrelated!!) OC with that same last name

[imagination-overreaction]

oc asks that reveal more than you think

Do they sleep with a stuffed animal? If they have multiple, who’s the favorite?

Can they take care of a plant? What about a pet? What about a child?

Ask them to describe their love interest.

Do they look good in red?

Speech! Speech! Speech! Speech! Will they give one, and what about?

Who will they take advice from, no matter what it is? Who won’t they take advice from, no matter what it is?

Describe them in three words. Now let them describe themself in three words.

Do complex puzzles intrigue or frustrate them?

Do they empathize with non-sentient things (dolls, plants, books…)?

What age do they most want to be right now?

They’ve won the lottery. Spend, or save?

Do they like romance in the books they read (or in the book they’re in)?

Name one thing their parents taught them.

Would they agree with the term ‘guilty pleasure’? Do they have any?

What would they consider a waste of time– other than school or work?

If money wasn’t a limit, what would they wear?

Do they like children?

Kissing: tongue or no tongue?

Do they study before tests? Practice before job interviews?

What do they like that nobody else does?

What would it take for them to break up with someone? What would be the last straw?

Do they like being called pet names? Do they call other people pet names? What’s their go-to?

Stability or novelty?

Honesty or charity?

Safety or possibility?

Talent or effort?

Forgiveness or vengeance (or…)?

Would they date a fixer-upper?

What recurring dreams do they have?

What would they do if they knew it would be forgiven?

Man who is Stupid (in a Smart way) convinces a demon to let him live inside it by being moderately entertaining

EVERYONE QUICK describe your oc story in the worst way possible

[imagination-overreaction]

There is nothing quite as satisfying as getting all your thoughts down on the page and seeing the terrible blob of a first draft before you.

[imagination-overreaction]

no but actually i need to be really proud of myself for a minute. on thursday the 17th, i was on page 50, chapter 8 of my wip. as of today, monday the 21st, i am on page 70, chapter 1. i’ve written 11k words since thursday. that’s an accomplishment !!!!!!!

I have the worst variant of worldbuilder's disease where I can't even properly build the world and only focus on a single aspect (magic system) that doesn't help with the story at all

i’ve really taken off with this new vampire/devilspawn thing. can i ramble (doing it anyway. down there 👇)

so maggie is now a vampire. the story begins with her showing up at Anzurin’s coven.

critical information: Covens are run by devilspawn. Devilspawn mentor and shape vampires fledglings until they can go out on their own. Devilspawn do not create vampires, only lead them. vampires create other vampires. Anzurin is like big boss of the devilspawn. There are many many covens, but the important ones here are led by Anzurin and Vellur. ok. good? good.

before the story (will not be written): maggie is a human, as all vampires are before they’re turned. she is dating this guy (unnamed for now. vampire. she doesn’t know it). this BF was a fledgling in Vellur’s coven and Vellur is ….. not nice. this BF and some other vampires decide to turn Maggie. they keep her chained up and starved for a while, beating her while showing her pictures of Vellur to program her into hating him. the vampires also wear contacts to make their eyes look like devilspawn. They want to make her hate devilspawn and Vellur specifically, starve her. They employ a devilspawn to wipe her memory, and then drop her off at Vellur’s coven.

That’s where the written story picks up. She’s just killed one devilspawn, drinking her dry, but then she’s quickly overpowered and chained up. Vellur takes her to Anzurin (plan thwarted, dumb vampire shitbags that tortured her) bc Vellur does not fuck with vampires that kill devilspawn. he’d rather just kill her, but Anzurin doesn’t allow it.

So now Maggie is with Anzurin, barely remembering the last 24 hours and nothing else except her name. She’s starved and drinking everything (everyone) she can sink her teeth into. she also has this intense hatred for devilspawn and for Vellur that she doesn’t really understand.

the plot ensues as maggie and anzurin try to figure out what happened to her before she arrived at Vellur’s, and also the other vampires are realizing that she’s not at Vellur’s coven anymore, and now they have to try to get her back there bc they really want her to kill Vellur.

we’ll see where this ends up going lol

Which of the gods in your wip did you have the most fun writing?

Surprise ask? My day is made! :D

Honestly, I had a lot of fun with all of them. Loqang is terribly formal and honorable, but look a little closer, and he's a chronic meddler. For a god of loyalty, he's got a lot of backburner schemes cooking. Ibara was fun because she was his total opposite. I love gods who swear and complain and just generally act like mortals. Kezdwe was a nice balance to both of them as a generally chill dude. He knows he's not a big player in the pantheon, so you just know he's relaxing on a spectral hammock somewhere when he's not on the battlefield.

But easily my favorite to write out of all of them was the Great Anglerfish Himself, Lamsara Hedandros. He's so... dare I say... cunty. Three books of building him up as this malevolent force left me a little uncertain of how to live up to that reputation while keeping him interesting. He still is a terrifying force during his chapter with Daedryn, but I think I was able to give him depth by showing his common interest with the other gods in keeping the sun from being eaten. He wants a planet to live on as much as anything else - he just also wants to rule it and enthrall the other gods. All in all, these things made him a blast to write as an allied villain, and I don't think it would've been out of character for him to break into a disney villain musical number as well

And though he doesn't appear in Honor's Outcasts, [REDACTED] is the first god I ever came up with, and I adored narrating Rel's Haunting through him. He's such a grump, but he's also the god of wonder, so he notices the beauty in everything. Love means so much to him, even if he can't do anything to act on it. Top tier angel dad and my favorite fellow Timaz hater 👍

Thanks so much for the ask!

Writing by hand is great and all but what in the hell is This-

fiy?? It was supposed to be "by" how do I even mess that up? Why does my hand HATE writing the letter "y" specifically, what did I do

I looooove the shit that's like

"You have the power to possess me and take over my body but you don't because you respect me"

because it can lead to

"I'll let you possess me and take over my body when necessary because I trust you"
