Revising an old story. How it started:

How it’s ended:

I love novelettes/long short stories. Much, much more depth of story of now.

Aerodynamic Writing: Trim the Fat for Maximum Impact

During the dead week between Christmas and New Year’s, I cut over 24,000 words from my book Poesy (coming November 7, 2026). The book went from 110,000 words down to just 86,000, then I added three more chapters for heightened excitement.

Now, in my natural state, I am a tight writer; 9 Years Yearning gets through nine entire years in just 34,000…

Aerodynamic Writing: Trim the Fat for Maximum Impact

I feel like a lot of internet writing advice is like revision advice. Anything about dialogue tags, passive voice, tenses, and tones. That’s all shit for after you’ve written that first schlumpy mess of a draft.

for some odd reason my posts from the past two years have been wiped… i’m looking for someone who has revised a loved ones death. my partner passed away in november and i just want my baby here with me…

If you close one eye even a windy path can seem straight

As I must always do I’m rereading what I wrote for a cute little one shot based on a scenario I thought of that had little to no chance of ending up in the little fic I’m making based off of my AU.

The only problem is that the language I use is…

Let’s just say that despite there being nothing wrong with it, maybe I should keep it from my peers.

“When Stephen King was in high school, the editor of the Lisbon Maine, Weekly Enterprise offered him this advice: write with the door closed, rewrite with the door open. That is, you write the first draft for yourself, and you revise to communicate with others.” -Writing Brave & Free by Ted Kooser & Steve Cox

“You try to be clearer. Or deeper. Or more eccentric. You try to be true to a world. You want the book to be more spacious, more authoritative. You want to winch yourself up from yourself. You want to winch the book out of your balky mind.” -Susan Sontag

I forgot about the bear.

Can You Spell Werewolf? Draft 2 Update- Choosing Self-Care

If you’re reading this, you’re probably curious on the context of the video you just watched.

So let me give you some.

Over the first half of November, I have been working hard on Version 2.0 of Draft Two of my first ever YA urban fantasy novel and series starter, Can You Spell Werewolf?

I even mentioned in my last post that my goal for that day that I posted was to write the rest or most of…

Can You Spell Werewolf? Draft 2 Update- Choosing Self-Care

Rereading my own work is a mug’s game.

Sometimes you gotta be a mug.

He has magic, of course he can build a magical bridge from our world to the dead planet so his alien ghost girlfriend can visit him. People don’t need to know how, it’ll slow down the plot.

“Power of love” or “a wizard did it”. Just pick one.

my kinktober isnt freaky enough.

Okay, another new favorite writing youtuber to follow :)

Also has really good advice for when you’re editing your first draft into your second draft and onward!

I just had the weirdest dream last night , to preface I have been stressing about revising for my Alevels but haven’t actually done anything lol. But I had this crazy dream where I was playing this game where I was in a cell and I was trying to get stuff done like make proteins and defend against pathogens it was so fun now I wanna play it but it doesn’t exist :(((

I’ve gotten through more scenes than I thought for ITV and combined Scenes 3 and 1 and I like the opening scene waay more now!!

I’ve never really done a scene list to keep track of how many I’ve read over so this has to be a trend bc I suck at keeping track, the story gets all jumbled up in my brain eventually haha.

I’ve still got a lot of rereading for these scenes to do and then hopefully someone can beta for me <3

Shoutout to my hello kitty sticker <3 many more where that one came from

Awww, did my blog trigger you that hard? And i don’t even post anything lol. Just gather up a few success stories to help out those who are going through the same situation as me.

First off—breathe, babe. The void’s not going anywhere.

I’m not here to handhold every random stranger who reads a post about death revision and decides to spiral. If someone gets upset because they saw a shifting success story and can’t handle the fact that they didn’t get theirs, that’s not on me.

I never said “follow me and your dead will rise.” I said: this is what I’m doing. This is what some of us believe in. If you don’t? Congrats, scroll on.

And you wanna throw around words like “vile” and “dangerous” like I summoned a demon? Hun, I’m literally just grieving in peace—doing my void meditations, entering stillness, revising the past, and manifesting a life where love actually wins. Sorry if that offends your limited worldview.

You are preaching about mental health and how this content could mess up minds while in the same breath calling me, someone who is ‘barely holding on’ “sick” and “freak. You are literally threatening a grieving person trying to survive. The hypocrisy? LOUD!

If someone close to you is hurting, maybe—just maybe—support them instead of stalking Tumblr to throw rage fits at strangers who post about reality shifting.

I didn’t ask for your family’s validation, I didn’t request your opinion, and I definitely don’t owe you an apology for how I cope with my own loss.

I’m not forcing you to shift. I’m not forcing you to believe in anything. But don’t act like your personal inability to comprehend non-linear reality is my problem.

You can call me delusional, LARP-y, or whatever spicy insult your internet rage can conjure up—but in the end?

I’ll be cuddling my person in a timeline where he’s very much alive, and you’ll still be anonymous, pressed, and terminally offline in your thinking.

So yeah—keep watching me do my “bullshit.”

I’ll keep revising timelines.

You? Keep barking at the void. 💅✨
