notes:

man... july really flew by! i think that’s partly bc i was kinda all over the place this past month (both mentally and location-wise haha). went on a couple trips w my fam, then my sister was visiting this past week so i have been busy. but, still tried to squeeze in as much writing/editing as i could!

i did not quite reach my 30k goal for camp nano, but i’ll give myself credit for that one cuz i still wrote over 25k and it was a busy month for me so i probs shouldn’t have set my wc goal so high anyway haha. 

probably my biggest accomplishment was that I FINALLY FINISHED WRITING SYLVIX DREAMSCAPE FIC!! :’’) holy shit.... i cannot believe i finally got to the end. it has been such a long and emotional journey (took me almost two years to write the whole thing jfc) so it definitely feels surreal. but i still have three chapters to edit/post so i am not done with it quite yet!! 

i recently got an edit letter from my mentors who are helping me w my ya sci-fi book so AAAA. based on their feedback, i....definitely have my work cut out for me lolll so uh that will probs be taking up most of my time in these coming months. i haven’t delved in much yet besides rewriting my first couple chapters to determine the best POV to use for the book going forward. but hopefully will get more into the swing of things during august!

while i was waiting on my edit letter, i also outlined... an entire other book lol (the one i am currently just referring to as “arctic monster book”). i don’t think i’ll have time to start writing it for at least three or four more months haha, but i am excited about it and it was fun to outline something new!

other than that... i’ve been working on my matchablossom fic again recently, so i hope to continue that. doubt i’ll finish it this month bc i have my book to work on (and i think this fic is gonna be...long-ish) but would like to write a decent chunk of it!

i also have a couple sylvix ideas i’d love to start but am still trying to plan/outline those and ofc they will be super long/complicated bc i am an idiot who loves to make more work for myself! i am gonna try to restrain myself from starting either of those but.... if i just so happen to finish an outline for both/either of them, that may change.

there’s also the twiyor fic which hmmm... still unsure whether i am going to continue writing it but we shall see. and just in general, a bunch of other fics i would love to keep working on but unsure if i will have time. but we shall see where inspiration leads me!!
