lila's 2023 writing wrap up!

we continue my yearly tradition of taking stock of what i wrote this year!! this year was a little different, in two big ways: the first was that i spent months editing and proofreading and publishing two books.

the red king's mystical suitors, which is out now

and the lover with five names, which drops january 23rd!

as well as managing all the work of being a self published author. (tldr it's no joke! not for the feint of heart! i feel a bit like the meme of the boy drowning!)

the second reason was that i spent a huge amount of time writing fanfiction this year, which was huge for my mental health but not forgiving when it came to original books. these two things combined means that i didn't spend as much time drafting new books as i typically do. not something i'm unhappy about, or am ashamed of, just a change! without further ado:

projects i finished this year:

skyriders (73k)

jack of fools (65k)

queen of crowns (74k)

the night auction (73k)

and 230k of fanfiction across 3 different fandoms! (hannibal bullet train and loki if you're wondering. if you want my ao3 then message me lmao)

unfinished things i wrote this year:

king of aces (51k)

weavers (17k)

untitled wip i called art gays: 12k

daybreakers: 11k

miscellaneous other 10k, let's say

projects planned for next year (a fun addition because i almost never end up going through with what i have planned, fun to look back on from the previous year)

the night auction sequel

secret wip #1 (mlm romcom)

secret wip #2 (sapphic romance)

secret wip #3 (no hints on this one)

i tried out secret writing for the first time this year, too! won nanowrimo for the first time since 2019, and it worked an absolute dream! 10/10 would and will do again.

(edit: realized i actually did win nanowrimo in 2021 and 2022. i'm an idiot)

until next year, everyone!
