my partner sent back some edits for chapter 20 of in a different life and y’all

too bad once i make the edits it’ll be gone

writes an additional 1k for the chapter im posting in two days bc i was chatting with my partner about it and they had good ideas

i dont want to brag but i had a great idea for my story last night while laying in bed AND i remembered it this morning when i woke up i truly am the writing gods favorite

so exhausted from all the traveling and socializing with different sides of mine and my partner's families. but i managed to sneak some writing in on the car ride home

also posted the next chapter :) i really like how parts of this one turned out and i think the ending is kind of funny--but then again i write to my own ssense of humor so i guess that tracks haha

54,555/50,000

i cannot believe that 52.8k words has only spanned 10 and a half chapters. the chapter length just keeps growing, its getting a bit out of hand haha

what i also can't believe is that i still have at least another 10-15 chapters to go to finish this story. we're going to be here for a while lol (i still have two more stories planned after this. wild.)

52,824/50,000

happy thanksgiving to all who celebrate!

tried to get my writing finished early since i'll be surrounded by people. tomorrow will be harder to write since i'm travelling (again) for thanksgiving part 2

hopefully tomorrow i can hit 50k :)

48,903/50,000

only 6k left for 50k! and 16k left for 60k! final stretch!

today's scenes were pretty brutal, mostly for the topic, but i think i figured out a way to portray the heavy subject

not sure what it is about fucked up scenes that suddenly my prose becomes really strong, but its happened again (wish i could harness that regularly lol)

i know the folly of being a writer is to always be at least a bit insecure about their writing/being a writer but ngl some of the comments i'm getting on ao3 are gonna give me an ego (affectionate)(i love you)(kissing you on the mouth)(please keep commenting literally even just an emoji heart and a smiley make me so happy)(your 'loved this!' is single-handedly destroying my imposters syndrome)

in which kim realizes he has a found family and chay forces macau to have some character development goddammit

now i just need to edit the chapter i'm posting tomorrow (i have not started 😅)

wrote 2k words of v emotional scenes and then just had to get up and go to work like i was normal (i was not normal)

25,089/50,000

ngl i didn't think i was gonna write today, but i managed it somehow lol

22,460/50,000
