Happy STS! :D If your OCs joined another wip of yours, how would it go? Would they enjoy being there? Bonus Q: Free ramble! ^.^

Thank you! ✨

Oh this is such a fun question because I think if Ariel and Evelyn got to travel through my WIPs I would have a blast and they would have the worst time of their lives xD

HoS x TAP would be nice at the beginning because they would just adore the magic! They would, in fact, admire it for so long that they nearly miss the whole plot going on in the background. Once they do, though... Well. They would want to go back >.> Murder is definitely too high up there.

HoS x In the Land of Twilight would be hilarious because can you imagine Ariel dropping into a world with magical creatures and they still don't get to see horned chickens?! Their disappointment would be immeasurable! Evelyn would see the whole nature dying and it would remind her a lot of her curse, so she'd set all her strength on helping the strange ItLoT group!

As for the free ramble! There's not that much that I can talk about ^^ Nothing exciting happened the whole year in my writing (mostly because. I didn't really write.) x.x But lately I worked a bit on ItLoT and I got over 31k words on the draft now, which makes me very happy! I do have some plans that I would love to share, so here we go! It's quite long so I put it under the cut x)

I want to keep working on Heart of Silver-sequels! I am not yet very sure if I will also post them chapter-wise as I now did with HoS because I am just not certain if anyone would actually be that interested in it. But I am currently thinking of a series title (maybe something like A Guide to Liminal Matters and Ghastly Kinds but I am still Woking On It but also feel free to tell me what you think xD). I already have like 6 pages of the second novella (words long spoken) and a pretty solid idea for the third! Though it'd be quite episodic? So not really overall plot, so I could also technically write infinite parts... h e l p

I'll be doing beta-reading next week so I will probably draft Words Long Spoken until November. And then I might do nano with ItLoT depending on how much time I'll have.

Also, I am currently having my Writing Midlife Crisis (yes, this is a thing now) because I really want to sort of re-vamp TAP and The Five Senses? I just feel like they're so obviously some of my earlier works (wow that sounds so pretentious you know what I mean right), and the magic systems slap, but the plot just isn't worth it? I want to make a better plot. For both of those? Those WIPs mean a lot to me and I just want them to be better than they currently are. I feel I managed to get there with In the Land of Twilight, and I want to achieve that for TAP and The Five Senses too. And I tried to make it work but it somehow doesn't x.x I have no solution yet? I know what is wrong with it, just not how to fix it. Maybe I need to brainstorm more or ramble more or just get the right inspiration? I guess time will tell :')
