A couple of triumphs ...

[chocolatepot]

First off, I've been working on my novel, and I'm nearly at 66,000 words! It should be about 85% done. Each chapter left so far (except the one I skipped, which tbh I bet won't be needed in the end) has action in it so I think it should all flow pretty well to the end. Then I will have to figure out if it's all rubbish or if I just think it is because, to paraphrase a Tumblr post, it sounds like my writing instead of someone else's.

I've also written some more of one of the sample chapters of the 18th century fashion book Bloomsbury wanted. It's a bit like pulling teeth, but my method is to write a very basic version of whatever it's about "freehand" and then come back later and fill in more details and stuff that needs citations. Haven't gotten to that second part yet so I don't know if this is a good way of doing it.

I commissioned someone to draw a scene from my Regency genderbend fic and it's done! It makes me SO happy.

Freehand the basics and fill in the rest later is a very solid method of writing imo. Can't edit a thing that's not started, after all!
