january 21

this is actually from jan 15 but life has been a whirlwind!

words written: 665

current word count: 40,806

some thoughts

I FINISHED MY FIRST DRAFT!!!!!!!!!

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !

I'm really excited to be here, to have finally gotten this entire story that's been swirling around in my head since 2019, into one doc

am i thrilled with how it reads in its current state? no, not really

but am i thrilled that it exists? absolutely !

finishing the first draft was just something that had to be done. i think i was feeling anxious that i hadn't earned the ending. so on the 15th, i just kind of. knocked myself out of it and ended it. i wrote what i imagined the ending to look like. in previous writing sessions, there had been a lot of waffling.

so, since i finished, i've naturally gravitated away from the WIP. i'm still thinking about it now, actually probably thinking about it moreso now that the draft is complete.

my plan for drafting going forward is:

pad it out

make it scary

make it good

pad it out

my word count is currently just short of 41k. my goal end word count is between 60k and 65k. for reference, this is about the word count of tender is the flesh, which is one of my fav horror books.

the draft now is pretty much: this is the story, this is the order of things, this is what happens. there is so much room for c and d and more plots; there is so much room for character enhancement and technique.

make it scary

speaking of horror - i just don't think it's scary enough! and that being said, i am really questioning how to make a book/piece of writing scary. so, to work on towards it making scary, i think i'll be reading and examining a lot of horror in depth this year. recommendations are more than welcome!

make it good

finally, i need to take everything extra i write, and i need to make it good.

i hope to fucking god that i can make this, in the end, something breathtaking and thoughtful and haunting. i don't know if i'm capable of it. but i can hope.

i have big hopes of publishing before i'm 30, but i have bigger hopes of being a successful horror writer. getting a book together before 30 will mean nothing if i haven't packed in every ounce of goodness into it that i can.

in other news

as i'm finishing this leg of this creative project, i'm feeling expansive. i'm going to be launching a newsletter next month called create & consume - a round up of my two passions: creating (food and lit) and consuming (food and lit). i'll be including recipes, food recs, book recs, pieces of writing, thoughts on writing techniques, and meta commentary on consuming and creating. and more. i hope if you've read this far into this post, you may want to join me along in this, too. :)

There are colors

Conclusion: Aliens.

Twi’leks: Ryloth. HECK YEAH

Crosshair my dear boy

RAMPASS

I WILL KICK YOUR ASS RAMPASS

THAT is general Syndulla

Who is that clone?

I need the name of that clone right now

He has no right to look that good

And THAT is Hera’s mom

WAIT ARE WE GONNA GET BB HERA????

OKAY THAT CLONE JUST GOT EVEN HOTTER SHUT THE FRONT DOOR

FINALLY another reg who isn’t a mindless machine:)

Damn general that was a good speech

BUT THAT FUCKING CLONE DOESNT HAVE THE FUCKING RIGHT TO BE THAT HANDSOME

CROSSHAIR MAH MAN

okay but now they can’t not have Hera in this ep

OH MY GOD ITS CHOPPER!!!!!!!!!

THERE IS THAT FUCKING CLONE AGAIN

Is it Cham?

Is this my new favourite clone? maybe, he might become it if he continues TO BE THAT FUCKING HOT

Houser?? Hozer?? Hold on lemme check the subtitles

Okay 1: His name is Cham.

2: The clone’s name is Howzer

HOWZER FUCK OFF STOP BEING HOT

It is… …unacceptable

WHERE IS THE BATCH HUH???? THEY WERE IN THE THUMBNAIL!!!!! THIS IS CLICKBAITING!!!!!

OKAY CROSSHAIR IS TAKING OFF HIS HELMET

ARE THERE SCARS????

WHERE IS HIS HAIR???????

is that a cybernetic eye?

DOES HE HAVE A CYBERNETIC EYE??????

okay no, he has his eyes

phew

BUT DAMN THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD THO

THAT LOOKS NASTY AF

OOOOOFFFFFF

ahhh i almost don’t wanna look at it, i feel bad for my toothpick son

also: i noticed something, crosshair’s imperial armor is really bulky compared to his tbb armor

okay don’t get me wrong i love Hera and her family but I just really want to see my sons and their daughter

What was it Rampass had to do? what was on the datapad???

okay it felt like imp!crosshair did his flip-and-aim thing very slowly, i’m just saying that tbb!crosshair woukd have done that in a heartbeat

IIIIIITS THE BAD BATCH

MY SONS

AND MY DAUGHTER

I HAVE MISSED YOU SO

OMEGA YOU ARE STILL FUCKING ADORABLE

I LOVE YOU

TECH MY DARLING

I LOVE YOU

I love how Hunter just looks at Hera, he knows his little girl is badass

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

“Hunter, can she come aboard?” *nod*

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Omega knows her shit, I bet Tech taught her

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

“Tech won’t let me train until I can recite the ship’s specifications from memory”

TECH IS TEACHING HER HOW A SHIP WORKS

I REPEAT

TECH IS TEACHING OMEGA ABOUT HOW THE MARAUDER WORKS

AND HE IS BEING A DAD ABOUT IT

I WOULD SCREAM A BIT MORE BUT SPAMMING THE BUTTON IS ANNOYING

IS HER FAVOURITE PART OF THE SHIP HER ROOM???

oh my god that is so wholesome

Dave, does Wrecker know that Omega’s favourite part is the room he fixed for her?

OH MY GOD OMEGA IS SO SMALL

“Make a new friend?” AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

YES OMEGA TELL EM YOU ARE READY TO FLY

“What… feeling?” Tech, yes you. YOU THERE!!! you are adorable, did you know that???

this can’t be the only thing we see of the batch in this episode

if it is I will kill myself

Aaaaand there is Crosshair again committing murder

maybe not but like almost

i mean yeah i’d love to move in if you just let me remove your chip first:))

yes Howzer tell em

Omg Howzer actually has a brain

is he fighting the chip or is it broken?

does he not have one???

I KNEW IT

CROSSHAIR WAS GOING TO COMMIT LE MURDER

okay i had my hopes that “rescue on ryloth” as next weeks ep meant they were rescuing cross, but know I realise that was fakse hope and they are rescuing the Syndulla family.

I am still angry about the lack of my sons…
