So I broke 50k on my NaNoWriMo for 2022 today! I’m nowhere near being done though. This story is one expansive Victorian beast so I’ll keep writing every day this month. And cheer everyone else onward to victory! Come on, Writeblr! You got this! <3 We’re at the half way point so anything is possible. :)

Also new title for the project because, well, it fits the story better:

Tilly: The Progress of a Victorian Lesbian and Female Husband

I didn’t do my update post yesterday because I started getting sick last night so I logged off early. I’m still sick, but the show must proceed as planned!

Day 14 Word Count: 6,253 Words (the total was 49,466 words)

Day 15 Word Count: 1,245 Words

Current Total: 50, 711 Words

Excerpt:

I pretended like I had no idea what she was doing. Hopefully, she liked what she saw. I didn't stop her from looking, if she wanted to. Though I couldn't be entirely sure, I liked to believe her hunger matched mine. That she actually liked women the way I did. After all, it was Miss Adelaide Green who introduced me to this hidden world of desire. No one would accuse her of being not lady enough. No one could deny her femininity. Mama kept measuring my feminine failures against Rosie’s and Miss Green's many successes.

Papa had thought it cruel and usually (though unhelpful in Mama's opinion) offered to go riding with me to cheer my dampened spirits. I missed my horses; I missed Papa letting me go out. And oddly enough, I sometimes even missed Mama's fussing.
