Hi there buddy, my name is Athena. I'm coming to say hi, see how you're doing and this is a chance to ramble about your wips. What's the biggest wordcount you've ever achieved on a wip?
I can ramble
.
.
.
Yeah I’m gonna ramble. (So this is or can be seen as possible spoilers but to some it isn’t .)
Alright we’re to start 👏
The biggest word count is 🧐. (220k.) that is on my novel. Untitled hero is closing in hot. 👀
So Untiled Hero is from the bones of a story. I’m currently writing that is a novel however it is a darker version than the IF. The title is just a date and a name. But that will change.
Untitled Hero honestly has turned into something else like I was original planning on two to three endings and one of the major choices I was planning to make it were it was a set choice no going around it but a very sweet stranger from the coffee shop gave some input when I asked and now it’s a choice.
Powers are a way bigger deal than I can write about. Since almost everyone has power there are quite a few who don’t. And there is a type of discrimination to those who don’t. Just like the people with powers who are shifters. Depending on where your at it can change.
And people who have telepathy well.... 👀. Let’s say it’s a very hard to survive the process.
And the Thrallens a race I created is very complex and if the readers choose to go on Azalea path they will see more of it and why They don’t use their preferred pronouns. The Thrallens are far from perfect and the society structure I had to write it out four different ways before it made sense to me. I am rewriting the scene where Harmony is talking about it. (Harmony is really important especially in Azalea route.)
And for the next few chapters it’s going to be confusing in some parts as the Mc finally awakens something but the fact it can possibly harm the Mc shouldn’t be taken lightly. And I will have a hidden stat for what well that’s for the full release.
Now onto a few other stories I posted about.
Revenge Pact
is about two people agree simply to get revenge.
The Mc in this case got royally screwed. And for once I’m giving the reader what they want to get back at some one who hurt the Mc.
The thing about Revenge pact is that the war that has lasted over 400 years has come to an end. As the country that the Mc was with won.
The Mc in this story was apart of a noble family where they could be werewolves or a dire wolf. But Mc never got that chance. See they were sold to the royal family to be a slave in simple terms. (I left out a few things there but it’ll get explained when I get the demo out.)
Mc simply became devoted to a goddess and got a lot of attention. But Mc couldn’t really connect with people as many looked down on the Mc or just tried to use them. This was because Mc wore a mask to hide their face. This was mainly because of Mc family traditions. (I’ll go in more details in the post and in the story.)
Fox’s Retribution
Is a mafia story I got inspired to write. This time around the Mc is content in there place in the structure because they know if they want they could take it over. And everyone who has seen Fox’s face (Mc) well they know how dangerous they are as an enemy.
Mc does have a child and the reason why the Mc isn’t around will be explained later. (Only two people know about the Mc kid.)
The Idols Mark
Was something I’ve written snippets over the years about just with no serious plot.
The Mc in this story doesn’t need money nor fame to be happy. Why they become an idol and why they did it was simple because her father said she couldn’t. And MCs mom well she was uncaring. (Women was focused on her business like Mc father.) so they neither one really know Mc 😐.
Like the age gap wonder how she knows Diana from high school. Well it’s simple Mc is super smart and skipped grades. (Mc went back and forth to South Korea and America. And A year in Italy. (We don’t talk about Italy.)
Mc has other interest and what they enjoy besides singing and dancing. One interesting thing is a scene I’ve always wanted to write never fitted with my other stories but this one oh boy do I have it ready. 😁
And like everyone who writes I have plenty of stories but to me it’s the need to not feel overwhelmed to do it. I mainly posted the others because those are the ones I’m working on if I’m not doing a prompt to try something new.
Thank you 🙏 for letting me rant a tiny bit.

Hi buddy! Athena here, how are you and how's the writing going? What called you to writing in the first place?
😁 Hi Athena. It good to have you here. (Love the name. Never got to say that before.)
I’m doing well but haven’t been able to write like I normally can but I’m still writing. Had to take a few days to relax after I helped my mom move. So I got a few short stories written but that’s me just trying other methods.
What got me in to writing🤔.
That can be quite a few different reasons. I’d say one reason is when I was in junior high. I hit a point where I had no one who could understand me. The way I speak can almost always be misunderstood so I struggled growing up and the fact of hiding what I liked and disliked. (Especially how I wanted to look.) So I took an interest in books anything I could read I’d try it.
So I wrote short stories here and there. I can’t say the amount I wrote for Azula from Avatar. (Woman deserved better ✊) I also tried a few others as well. I think a few persona characters as well but that was a long time ago.
Than I went through the period of just reading rather than writing.
One of the first series I read was about a group of teenagers with powers and I believe it was connected with the Greek gods. I’m not sure of the title but I would read it on the bus to and from school. (Got in trouble once for reading instead of doing class work. Although I did do the class work just wanted to read it.)
Unfortunately I didn’t get to finish it as the library didn’t have the others.
Than another was the Star Wars Boba Fett series. I’ll be honest as a Star Wars fan this was totally worth it. I read all of them. I even check them out twice.
But I will say it was my senior year in high school I wrote something from start to finish. I guess you could say the thing that made me say I want to write more seriously.
One day I was in class I had nothing to do because my teacher didn’t have much for us so I wanted to watch a show on my phone (I had earbuds that day🤷‍♀️) but nothing was matching what I wanted to see so start to write.
It was a simple story of a Princess who wanted to make amends for her past. She being the demon who did a lot of bad things. Then I added drama like the man she brutally maimed comes back with an army. She has to flee to get help and in doing so she has to face the woman she not only loved but also took her powers away.(it was my senior project. And my teacher loved it.)
Since I did write in on notebook paper I did have to go pick it up after a week. She suggested I could become better and I should pursue it in college. I took her advice and while it’s not my main course or degree I’m taking my classes.
Thanks for the questions Athena. (I welcome them anytime. Might just drop one myself)
And a bear hug to you 🤗
Have a great day or night. If it’s night get sleep we all need it for our brains sake. 😁
