SKALJ;;DJSKSKA; HOW IS THIS A REAL CONVERSATION THIS IS IN MY HISTORY WITH HIM NOW WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY

Maia, as a young lesbian who didn't know she was a lesbian, 100% was one of those kids who would google "girls kissing".

To be honest, I haven't given much though to her relationship with her mom, but now that I am, I feel like she sort of knew that Maia was a lesbian.

Maia definitely didn't tell her (she didn't really know until the events of RoD) but she definitely picked up on signs (if either parent caught her googling habits, it was her mom)

It was never spoken about, and Maia's dad never picked up on it, but I imagine after she came out, Maia's dad would realise in hindsight that her mom knew, and it would be very healing for their relationship

Would that go too far? 🙈🙉🙊

I found this little piece of info on Metal Injection today while looking for ideas for the MC's nickname (you can google the album if you wanna see the cover 🙃):

So, a balance of my first ever NaNo:

My final word count was a humble 21,964

(However if I were to count Thursday’s 3K+ writing session, I’d be at 25,380 words… but Nano was over by then lol)

I started out strong and quickly fell off track! I think by Day 7 I was already so upset at not meeting word counts, it was affecting my joy, so I decided to soft quit. I found it ridiculous that I was tuning into the story every day and either drafting a few hundred words, doing good research, fleshing out side characters, or creating graphics, and yet I felt like I was failing because I wasn’t drafting enough. I wanted the freedom to consider all of those things successes, as I would’ve in any other circumstance, so I stopped trying to hit any word counts at all.

(This might already be an existing way of ‘doing Nano’ that I don’t know of, so forgive me if I’m reinventing the wheel here. I didn’t mean to 😅)

However~

All in all, I count it as a resounding success!

I have a lot of content under my belt, and I can now answer a ton of the questions I mentioned in an earlier post!

My setting is a middle-sized, touristic town in California, modeled after mainly Capitola, Santa Cruz, and maybe others from the Central Coast of California.

The action’s set slightly in the past, starts around 2006

I got a lot of research done on surfing and got a couple of athletes I can base my deuteragonist off of (mostly Erin Brooks and Alex Fry)

And I plan on being open and having fun with POV changes: I might still do random head popping all through the book, but my heart’s now set on adding more POV’s towards the last parts of the book to signify the MC opening up to the world and learning to trust others, via us getting to read what people think first-hand (thanks @yary-t for the great references and reassurance!)

(Also I came to write this post two days ago, got distracted tallying the word count, and ended up in the writing session that produced those 3K+ words. So, again, a resounding success.)

“Well I tried to draw Yuu being limp while being hugged, (decided it would be my oc hugging since I’ve been wanting to draw her) but I’m not sure it really looks like that. I did try to look up a reference photo but putting “limp in someone’s hold” into google images didn’t really help. Got one image that was from a wiki help article titled “how to do a sleeper choke hold”.So I also just drew Yuu by himself in my chibi style, but it seems I can only submit one photo at a time?”

Oooooooh this is so cute !! thank you for drawing him !!! i love the way you drew yuu ! and your oc looks sweet :3c

and not google being unhelpful for references sobbing 😭 i swear you have to talk to it like its a dumb 5 year old to find decent ref images hahahah but it would be funny to see him get choke holded (choke held? 🤔) 

but it’s trueeeee yuu never did say he’ll hug back , i think u conveyed the limp noodle energy well !
