Plot synopsises under the cut:
NakaMouri Dinner Date: Ginzo and Kogoro want to make their relationship official, and therefore set up a family dinner with both of their daughters and main character adopted sons. The fic is from Kaito's POV who is trying to survive the evening without being revealed as Kaitou Kid.
Magic Assistant AU: DetCo postcanon where Sonoko and Akako become assistants to the magician Kaito Kuroba, and collaborators to Kaitou Kid. The second part is against Kaito's wishes, but he's not really able to stop these two women. Best he can do is give them less dangerous tasks to keep them safe.
Elster: Magpie fairy gets captured by a wizard who plans to use her feathers for his spells. Lots of whump and tiny abuse, eventual comfort but that's far away.
Borrower dad: when his wife who usually does all the borrowing falls ill, a house husband has to confront his biggest fears and go on a borrowing trip to bring home food. He's deadly afraid of humans and might faint if he ever looks one in the eye.
A small Bit of Happiness: P5 AU where joker is a borrower who used to live at Leblanc. Sojiro finds him and convinces Akira to live at his house instead. Next chapter would include Akira's first interactions with Futaba.

I already know about it but i want to know MOAR also Emily Dickinson ftw and sweetest in the gale is heard
That line is from a poem about hope, and thatâs what the fic grounds itself on. Itâs about. Hope. Itâs really about hope, and believing things can get better. Kaito has spent all of canon digging his own grave, both metaphorically and somewhat literally. Heâs grown, heâs improved, heâs matured, and Iâm delighted, but once you pull back from his performances of silly/carefree (as a civilian) and charming/untouchable/obnoxious (as a thief)âŚ.from his perspective, things are rather depressing and hopeless. His fatherâs murdered, his motherâs barely there, he never got over the grief of his father passing, and heâs achieving every conceivable success as Kaitou KID except for what heâs actually working so desperately on, which is catching his fatherâs murderers and destroying Pandora. And literally anyone who could help him is either not very involved with his life, dead set against Kaitou KID, or both. Furthermore, this fic is postcanon, so these things have been weighing on him for longer than current canon depicts.
There are things he would benefit from changing, but it comes down to this: he has to believe thereâs a point to reaching out. Right now, vulnerability only looks like hurt, like arrest, like getting murdered for not being cautious enough.
A lot of changes happen, but ultimately, itâs about hope, and about taking a step into the dark because you hope that, beyond it, there is light.
Snippet! Kaito leaned fully into KID. âI keep a great many secrets for a great many reasons. For this situation, I would give you the truth, full and straight. But that would risk putting you, and them, and a great many innocents, in unfathomable danger. For your sake, I would give the secret. For everyoneâs sake, I will not.â
Aching with the need to know if this would work, he watched Jirokitchi.
âYou are real,â Jirokitchi said.
KID didnât answer.
âThat was real,â Jirokitchi repeated. âYou, KID, are an act, and one of the best Iâve seen in decades. But what you just saidâthat was really you. Whoever you are. Youâre wrapped up in something quite serious, arenât you? Something to do with gunshots and people who would murder children.â

Day 12
Letâs do some discovery writing. I give you a prompt, and you write at least three paragraphs of a character reacting to it. Letâs see who you discover.
The prompt:
Unfortunately, things never go according to plan around here (@the-wip-project)
âWell, most units have a well-rehearsed plan for active shooters. Unfortunately, things never go to plan around here.â
âWhen do they ever,â Ginzo muttered. âKID is a misspelling of 1412, and 1412 is a misspelling of âpure chaos.â Anyways, Iâll be fineâKIDâs taught me to react fast. You have to, if you want to avoid showing up at the station in pink glitter.â
âSir,â Meguire said, compassionate and wary all at once, âwith all due respect, homicide scenes are rather riskier than glitter.â
And that, that was where people went wrong. They heard âKIDâ and thought âshowy, harmless thief.â They didnât realize that with the stunts KID pulled, âharmlessâ demonstrated a greater level of skill, creativity, and resolve than anyone was really equipped to handle. If KID wanted to be harmful, Ginzo would be dead. Simple as that. Chasing a thief like that for years, Ginzo understood something of risk and danger.
#it doesnât fit neatly anywhere in the timeline#it doesnât WORK in the timeline due to plot reasons#but itâs in Ginzoâs voice#and it has some character insight on KID from Ginzoâs pov#so#like#*shrugs*#anyways this got written in like 15-20 minutes so Iâm hardly expecting it to be polished art#dcmk postcanon fic#100daysofwriting#not bnha

day 11
How do you create your characters? Do you make a profile of them? Do you know your character before you start writing the story? (@the-wip-project) Ok, hereâs the honest process. I think about them and consider how I like portrayals of their characterization as I read canon and fic and as I think about how their likely-underexplored backstory is psychologically affecting them.
And then I think âI should write this all down! And develop it until itâs solid and comprehensive.â So then I do my level best, but the words feel real flat and empty, and thereâs not much coming from this process that Iâll use a month from now. And then I give up on that and continue thinking about the character for literal months. And eventually, I just. I just know them, bone-deep.
Itâs likeâsome people do well with a âblind datingâ version where they sit down and identify significant characteristics of interest within a relatively short window of time. Iâm the âchildhood friendsâ version. I canât metaphorically blind date a character to save my life, but if I sit down with them and learn their everyday ins and outs over a quite long period of time, then yes, I have something that feels real to work with.Â
And just. ââLivingâ with a character for a while makes me think about things in so many contexts I wouldnât have thought of otherwise. For example! I got locked out of my apartment last night, so I gave up and broke in through the window screen and open window. Super easy, tbh, but getting the window screen back in was an Experience. This is 100% of the reason I now have a well-developed understanding of window screens and a rather well thought out scene of a thief character who is annoyed at how easy it is to break in through the window, then annoyed again at how maddening the screen is to replace. Itâs the little things in life. Like the screen that still isnât in all the wayâ

Days 8 and 9
So I said Iâd do this every day and then promptly skipped a day. Whoops. In all fairness, I did write out my response and planned to post it later, but then I got sucked into the black hole of a very well-executed, very stressful fanfic until 1:30 and then promptly passed out. Anyways, my responses to both days are under the cut. (Some people in this challenge put NFSW stuff under the cut. None of my stuff is NSFW, but itâs under a cut anyways since itâs longer than normal.)
What is your favorite trope to write and/or read? And is there a difference between reading and writing the trope?
Found family found family foundâ
I used to think my favorite trope was angst and/or whump. But then I realized that the darker parts were an unhealthy outlet for various mental health stuff, and the healthy stuff was essentially âcharacter A is legitimately suffering, but then found family makes it better. It doesnât necessarily fix the situation, but it makes things possible where they were not before.â
So, like. Found family thatâs not afraid of angst but doesnât intend to go in circles with the angst, either.
If I write it, I like the specific brand of trope/characterization/etc more than usual. Whether itâs because it takes stronger-than-normal like to get me writing, or because writing makes me like it more, is anyoneâs guess. Probably both, tbh.
This is on full display in my current wip. I could easily and accurately summarize it as âtherapy ainât happening, lol, so throw found family and a few much-needed breakdowns into the pot for a home brew version.â (Admittedly, two protagonists are cousins, but, like. They basically have to decide whether to let that family claim matter to them, and they way they do it is essentially by found family-ing each other so, like? Classify that as you will.)
Tell us about ideas you have floating around. Worldbuilding snippets, or ideas for new stories. Just a few bullet points.
Underneath Kid and Conan (friendly rivals) is thief and detective (legally opponents). But underneath that is Kaito and Shinichi (lonely, the both of them, and worldshakingly kind).
Kaito is soft, around his doves, in ways the masks of Kuroba and KID otherwise donât allow.
Toichi taught Kaito a whole lot about acting, but the thing that really drilled it into Kaitoâs bones was the days, weeks, months, and years after Toichi died. His father was dead, his mother was emotionally and perhaps physically absent, and Kaito was a wreck. Adults, and Aoko, were understandably concerned. And Kaito, oh so kind underneath it all, was upset because his behavior was making people sad and worried, and he didnât like it. So he fiddled around with how he presented himself until he discovered that âquiet, silly kid and occasional class clownâ made people think he was bouncing back. He wasnât, but after a while, only Aoko really suspected it. KID is a weirdly honest way for him to express how behind the easy humor is grief and skill and steel self-control.
Akakoâs magic can make anyone besotted with herâexcept for the people she genuinely does or will love. Her journey to accepting this is complicated.
Kaito initially started being KID for the opportunity to connect with his father and for the thrill, in that order. But after only a few heists, he starts realizing that while those things have value, itâs not worth the damage it will do to his futureâlegally, mental-health-wise, and with Aoko. If he hadnât found out the details of his fatherâs murder via his fatherâs murderers, he would have kept an ear to the ground because of Jii saying his father was murdered, but he otherwise would have dropped KID within a few weeks.
When he moves back into his own house, Shinichi is a little disgruntled and a little mad and a little wistful to discover that he sleeps easier when someone else is in the room snoring, now.

I do! This started with âAkakoâs magic is reasonably topic-specific (themes of control and passion), and itâs named red and black magic.â
The next part seems like a total topic change. Bear with me. I characterize Kaito with a real sense of awe and ache about reaching out to the universe. Like, he gets tied up in other stuff (Kid, Pandora, mental health, etc), but, left to his own devices, heâll 100% be stargazing and marveling at the vastness inside people.
In this âverse, magic is pretty highly tied to mysticism and things that canât quite be explained, while people who donât believe in magic approach magic as something that cold, hard facts canât prove. So, Kaitoâs âawe about the universeâ ties theme-wise to magic, making it kinda necessary to give him a brand of magic. But also, I wanted him to stay canon-recognizably himself, without slinging around spells and stuff (which is cool, but not what Iâm going for).
Enter silvergold. Itâs Kaitoâs brand of magic, and it follows the theme of naming âbrandsâ of magic after colors. Why silver and gold specifically? Because it sounds cool together, hush. Not all worldbuilding is ~deep.~
The following information include Japanese color symbolism. Please understand that 1) Japanese color symbolism is complex, and often includes seemingly-opposite connotations based on context and that 2) Iâm an American whoâs googling all of this. Thus, everything is necessarily a simplification, and I definitely could have missed/misunderstood something. That said, itâs fascinating and I have spent hours researching. Anyways! Onwards!
Silvergold magic
What is silvergold? Itâs the power that comes from awe and yearning about the universe. Itâs pretty passive; it doesnât do magic spells or anything, but it really sinks deep into people and makes them believe more, in magic and in goodness. Look me in the eyes and tell me thatâs not what Kuroba Kaito and Kaitou KID already does. The deeper you dig, the truer it is.
The magic community tends to dismiss silvergold magic, as itâs passive and commonplace and canât whip out massive spells with obvious changes. Thatâs their mistake. Itâs commonplace like water is commonplace; quiet and easily dismissed, but absolutely vital to how life works. Itâs half belief that goodness is bigger and more important than it seems, and half just. Everyday things are Important. Trying to reach for the meaning matters.
Akakoâs magic, by contrast, red and black. At this part, I started mashing together canon qualities and Japanese color symbolism, and hereâs what I got.
Black magic
Thereâs an interesting cultural dissonance, here. American/many European cultures associate black with evil and death. Japanese culture, on the other hand, has a dual association with blackâ itâs 1) bad luck, anger, and evil, and 2) mysterious, powerful, and elegant. These two really seem to depend on context for the tone. Keep in mind that Iâm an American googling all this stuff. Iâm 99% sure there are the two general umbrellas of black symbolism, but I definitely could have misinterpreted their lack of/level of connection.
(Additionally complicating things, black symbolism appears to have shifted pretty heavily when Westernization brought strong connotations of black as both evil/death and with black business suits meaning power. Japan seems to have had both variants pre-Westernization, but at different angles. That said, itâs stinking hard to untangle pre-Westernization and post-Westernization color symbolism, and both seen to matter quite a lot.)
Anyways, itâs definitely interesting that Akako has black magic, because it doesnât necessarily read as âpure evilâ and it has possible connotations of power and poise.
Complete black magic is just as the last paragraph states. The way the magical community interprets it tends strongly toward âblack is evil,â and Akako follows those trends. But! Thatâs not all their is to it.
Black magic, properly understood, is suffering. This can encompass needless suffering inflicted on othersâdefinite evil. This can also encompass growth from personal sufferingâwhich, speaking from personal experience, seems to be where most wisdom and gravity and experience comes from, and thatâs how the âpoise and powerâ angle ties in. Healthy black magic is about growth from hardship; unhealthy black magic is about inflicting unnecessary hardship.
Interesting side note: Shinichi is a powerhouse of black magic. The magical community would be straight-up terrified by him because of his immense power and because of how they associate black magic with evil. In reality, Shinichi interfaces with immense suffering daily, in the form of murdered and murderers, and also with the immense suffering of everything Organization and Conan related. And thatâs not all; his personal growth from all of that is swift and staggering, for all it doesnât seem it. Just compare his pre-canon self to his current-canon self, and youâll see that his compassion and insight and maturity are skyrocketing. He lowkey terrifies Akako.
Red magic
Red magic is about power, passion, and emotion. Due to cultural stuff in the magic community, it heavily emphasizes romantic love. Thatâs not all red magic is, but thatâs what people tend to associate it with. (Note: red is often involved in weddings, so in Japan, red can be quite a lot about romance.)
Red magic, on the whole, is neutral. It can be used for good or bad. Healthy red magic is about channeling self-mastered passion. Unhealthy red magic is about riding wild passion wherever it takes you. Canon Akako is fairly unhealthy, in part because she misunderstands it. âI lose my power if I cryâ is a judiciously self-taken curse that gives her a large power boost so long as she doesnât cry, but gives huge magical backlash if she does cry.
Itâs a curse because someone who completely understands red magic will know that suppressing all tears always is gonna really unbalance and harm you, long-term, which will hijack your ability to powerfully and healthily draw on red magic as well as, yâknow, really mess with your mental health. Akako, whoâs centered her life around power no matter the cost, doesnât grasp this quite yet.
This happened accidentally in the worldbuilding process, but Pandora, which glows red and is said to cry tears of immortality, fits perfectly into this.
(Worldbuilding that is canon but unmentioned to this wip: Akakoâs also voluntarily taken Calypoâs Curse. It lets her romantically have power over anyoneâexcept for people she truly does or will love. Not âloveâ as in âcrush on,â but âloveâ as in âI would gladly devote the rest of my life to living with you.â Those truly-loved people will never return her love in sufficient amounts to commit to the same sentiment. Which re-contextualizes her interactions with Kaito rather a lot, doesnât it? Under this interpretation, sheâs coming to terms with the fact that she deeply loves him after a lifetime of committing to power no matter the costs, and coming to terms with the fact that said lifestyle killed any chance of this relationship meaning something. A curse, indeed.
Long down the road, as she emotionally processes everything, this becomes a crucial launching point toward âreal, deep love is vital, even if nothing appears to come of it, and I will do everything I can to protect it.â No one expected a powerful, curse-drenched red and black witch to take the stance of a wise sage with vast influence for good, but thatâs exactly what happens.)
White magic
I havenât actually done worldbuilding on white magic, but Iâm putting this here because I feel like this fandom needs to discuss how in Japan, white both means blessing/blessed/purity and death and mourning and KID dresses almost fully in white. A character who is very much lucky and very much in mourning? Itâs Kaitou KID as he truly is, at least when it comes to Kaitoâs version.
Lilac magic
I think lilac is a prettier word than purple, which is why itâs lilac magic instead of purple magic. Yes, itâs trivial. No, I donât care.
In Japan, purple/lilac commonly associates with royalty, nobility, and power. Itâs also connected to virtue, for reasons that are fascinating but probably too complicated for this already-too-long post.
Hakuba Saguru is lilac. Does he intentionally draw on magic? No. Is he quite powerful in it nonetheless? Yes.

Ages ago I sent an ask on Akako's red magic being a very much basterdized version of Pandora's & now I have some vague idea of Akako's family as like guardians. But something happened that made them lose track & they haven't been able to find them. I also have this image of Akako finding out Shinichi (still as Conan) is Pandora & kneeling like a knight would vowing to protect him. Kid is there too & he & Conan are like Wtf.
@awake-my-oceans
Amira has some really really interesting thoughts on Akako's magic in DC and MK and how it relates to Pandora. But the idea that Akako's family started out as a guardian for the gem but, like Pandora's legend, slowly shifted and became distorted until they're totally unrecognizable. Also her kneeling to Conan has a host for Pandora while Shinichi and Kaito are looking on confused is an excellent image.

What ideas came to you recently from daydreaming? (@the-wip-project)
At this point, I daydream mostly about this wip, which is creating a large depth of worldbuilding and character nuance. The challenge is not having enough content, but trying to express the content, honestly.
Today I was thinking a lot about Kaitoâs newfound confidence as this postcanon chain of events unfolds. Not the kind KID has, which is unshakable, and, quite frankly, fake. It is faked well, with grandeur and presence, but that doesnât reap benefits for Kaito beyond what it lets him get away with on heists.
The stuff Kaito is getting ahold of is quite different. Itâs quiet, for one, not dramatic, and itâs steady, and itâs real. Itâs certainly prone to ups and downs (if it wasnât, that would be perhaps the only clue Kaito might slip that it was another fake). However, he is starting to trust and assert himself in ways he hasnât done before. In precanon and canon, he tends to get railroaded by events (his fatherâs death, everything about learning about KID) and then do a stunningly skilled and determined job of making the best of it. But nowâhe can stand up to the event itself and say âno, Iâm going to handle things right here and now before it spirals.â
(Some spoilers for the sequel, yes this whopper has a sequel in the works. The basic premise is exploring the Nakamoris and Kaito trying to navigate a proper relationship instead of the autopilot care but painful disconnect of canon.)
Thereâs a moment Nakamori Ginzo, knowing something about the Organization (Shinichiâs and Kaitoâs are connected for purposes of this fic), tries to arrest Kaito. And Kaito, quiet and rock-solid sure, says âunderstandable, but I wonât allow that until five months from now, because Iâm holding together critical parts of the Organization investigation and it canât lose my skill set yet.â Just like. Yeah. Kaito has absolutely held massive, painful secrets, and he knows it, and is tentative and apologetic about most things here, but thatâs not going to stop him from putting his foot down on the stuff he needs to.
Frankly, I donât know if canon Kaito can do that, yet, when it comes to the Nakamoriâs dealing with his everything. Thatâs not derision, thatâs loving assessmentâitâs a skill he needs, and itâs a skill he doesnât have yet for quite understandable reasons. And I am determined to give him enough self-esteem and quiet confidence to get him there eventually.
(yes, my daydreams are often like this. I try to keep it to fluff or angst or whatever, sometimes, but it tends to rapidly turn into multifaceted analysis of character motivations and suffering and growth, and how various situations can manifest those facets. yes, I was indeed sitting in the doctorâs office today thinking about how Kaito interacts with pacifism under a variety of pressures.)

Day 14
Do you have figures/creatures of folklore in your WIP? If not, can you think of something that would fit? (@the-wip-project)
Oh, definitely. Itâs Pandora.
Iâm interpreting âfolkloreâ a little loosely. A strict definition would probably say âcommon mythical-eque ideas of a culture.â My definition is more along the lines of âthe thing that hovers half between myth and reality, and everyone has a different stance on how real it is and how seriously it should be taken.â
Aka, magic. Iâm splitting the difference between Detective Conanâs âno of course magic doesnât existâ and Magic Kaitoâs âgood luck telling that to the literal witchâ by saying magic has a status more or less like it does today. A few people will scoff and say of course not. Most people will scoff right alongside, but quietly have a few moments where they wonder if thereâs something thatâs, well, not fully explained by ârationality.â And a few people will wholeheartedly devote themselves to magic.
Thing is, magic is for-sure confirmed as real in this âverse. And inside its community, there are legends of great power, and one of them is, of course, Pandora. Itâs non/existence is never actually stated within the series. Iâlook, the pathos of Pandora involves exactly how itâs half-real, yet always so, so influential. I tried versions where itâs found, or proved not to exist, and they just donât work. They donât land. I think that years down the road, when Kaito has a real hold on himself and has a more in-depth understanding of the magical community, it could land. It just doesnât work within the timeframe of the story Iâm trying to tell, so it remains half-real and omnipresent, a figure of folklore that never quite comes into sight.
In a show that spends so much time showing the tricks behind the apparent magic, in a show that works so hard to show that the larger-than-life figure of Kaitou KID is actually ridiculously, heartbreakingly humanâin all that, my conception of the show partially loses its anchor if itâs not allowed to hold things that are truly unknown, truly mythic, truly beyond our reach. Again, I can see it work in a distant future. But not now. That would feel like too neat and tidy an ending, and while life can work out inconceivably well, itâs never quite as small as we like to claim. And I want to honor that, with Pandora.

Day 17
Think about an interview question for your main character/s and then write down what they donât say. What secrets do they keep? What do they lie about? (@the-wip-project) What doesnât Kaito lie about? The interesting thing here is that Kaito and Shinichi are both neck-deep in all their canon lies and secretsâthey understand what it is like, in a way theyâre relieved they donât have to explain around each otherâbut they react quite differently. Shinichi goes âthis ordeal has made me appreciate honesty all that much more; whenever possible, I want to be completely honest and truthful with the people I care about.â
Kaito, by contrast, goes âI sure canât get out of this mess of lies. I guess this is my life. Iâm undeniably skilled at it, and Iâve poured most good parts of myself into Kid; thereâs not much left for me as a civilian.â
Shinichi crashes in to the tune of âtrust me, I get being stuck in a lie, but also no, you can be honest with me, also wow you need better self care.â (Kaito fires back with âexcuse me, you have the moral high ground in self care how?â and like yeah. Itâs a fair point. Theyâre working on it.)

Days 15 & 16
Does your WIP have fairytales? Do your characters tell mythical stories to each other? (@the-wip-project)
Pandora. Iâm not trying to be short, here, Iâve just already given all my Pandora thoughts on day 14. tldr/recapâPandora exists halfway between myth and reality, and for all it deeply shapes the story, itâs working best for me when I give no final answer on whether it really exists.
Do you have prophecies and superstitions as part of the worldbuilding in your WIP? Could you add some?
Prophecies, check, although itâs plays a blink-and-you-miss-it role. Thatâs courtesy of Akako, because sheâs the only canon character who actually uses magic. Superstitionâwell, itâs not in the current worldbuilding. That said, I achingly adore the quiet, easy respectfulness of KIDâs superstitions in some fanfic characterizations, and this is a good reminder to work it into my fic.

I am very understanding that you may be too busy to answer but I gots to know, tell me about and sweetest in the gale is heard which is from one of my favorite dickinson poems. You rock :)))
ask game about wips
Itâs deeply appropriate that youâre the one asking about this, because youâre the one who dragged me into DCMK in the first place. I also picked the title partially because I know you liked the poem, ngl. This is the postcanon DCMK fic that Iâve been working on for months. Part one. ItâŚâŚâŚ..got away from me a bit skgkengkwnjgjsnjfs.
Itâs, uh, at 21k and growing.
Snippet!
âIs he with his children again?â Kaito asked dryly.
âSee, I told himââ Ran paused for an audible eye roll. âHeâs still denying that heâs adopted three eight year olds. Iâm telling him you said that.â
Kaito snorted despite himself. âDid you expect to be a parent of three after six months of dating him?â
âHonestly.â Ran sighed with a bite of exasperated fondness. âIâm telling him you said that, too.â

oi BNHA-only fans
tldrâthis might be a good time to either block the tags #dcmk and #dcmk postcanon fic and/or unfollow if you really want to avoid non-BNHA. Will I still reblog BNHA stuff? Sure will! Will I stay in the BNHA fandom? Sure will!
But, @redrobin-detective dragged me deep deep down into DCMK and HHHHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHH.
Anyways, Iâve been working on a DCMK postcanon wip for seven whole months, and Iâd really love it to exist in more places than 1) my head, 2) a possibly-sentient outline, and 3) random scraps of written scenes. So, Iâm joining @the-wip-projectâs 100-day challenge to engage with the wip in some way, shape, or form for 100 days straight. That doesnât mean I must write every day; it does mean Iâll be talking about DCMK and/or the wip on tumblr most days.
Iâll tag it as #dcmk postcanon fic and everything DCMK already gets tagged as #dcmk and #not bnha. Blacklist freely. Iâm yelling into the void about my wip, but Iâm 100% ok if the void does not answer at 11 at night. If youâd rather avoid a multifandom blog, you have my blessing to unfollow. You donât need it, itâs always your call no matter what, but you have it anyways in case you were feeling awkward.
Go! Be free! Hydrate! Go to the bathroom! Do the thing, you know the thing, procrastinating wonât fix the thing. Snuggle into bed and go to sleep! Yes, this is a callout post. Yes, itâs for me too.
Have a lovely time-zone-appropriate experience!
#tagging this as#bnha#even though it is not BNHA content#so that the bnha crowd sees this#seriously I love all of you but donât feel obligated to hang around if you donât want#I donât even know my follower count so I wonât notice if people leave#promise

Day 7, I think
And my involvement with @the-wip-project begins! I think weâre on day 7, but tbh I donât want to go check cuz then Iâll have to retype the post. So here we are.
Todayâs question:Â Do you have a writing day? Or a writing hour? When do you get most of your writing done?
Uh, I probably should have a writing time. That sounds helpful. Honestly, I just write a scene whenever inspiration really hits and I donât rationalize myself out of it, AKA every week or so.Â
âŚâŚ.typing that out was an enlightening exercise in why this wip is taking forever.
Ok, uh, some days just wonât work. Iâve got other commitments filling up Sundays, Mondays, and Thursdays. Iâm happy to write on those days, but I officially give myself permission to not be mad at myself if I donât write on those days. Time-wise, it just might not work.Â
On days Iâm not all day busy with other projects? (Family, work, social, etc etc) Many days, Iâm really vibing with one scene or another. Letâs set the goal to get some prose on that scene written that day. Seems like a non threatening yet engaging bar.Â
Note to self: editing already-written scenes is just fine, but it doesnât count toward this goal.
