MORE QUESTIONS PEOPLE, I NEED ENOUGH FOR A FULL CHAPTER
ASK ME ABOUT MY TRAGIC PAST
MAKE ME RATE MY TOP FIVE MOVIES
MAKE ME TALK ABOUT THE WEIRDEST STUFF I'VE COMMENTED IN A FIC ON HERE (boi have I got s t or i e s)
ASK ME WHAT MY GO TO MURDER WEAPON IS
MAKE ME LIST THINGS I LIKE ABOUT MYSLEF- wait no.
Idk, I've got a couple questions (thank you to the two people who have done that) but I need more. Literally just ask me anything, otherwise I'll pick random tags to do and then tag all of you. :)

I am so dang tired.... I literally spent the day listening to music and writing, editing, and formatting two different chapters. I have one more chapter, just 1,000 words, to do this week, then I can start building up reserve chapters. Thank you school, for trying to take over my life and ruin any good writing groove I've fallen into.
Seriously, in three days I'll write about 3,000 to 4,000 words. And that's just between three different fics that are posted on sites, I also have two pet projects I'll post when done and a giant one-shot document full of prompts for different fandoms. The two pet projects will have 1,000 to 2,000 words written in them separately per week and the one shot book will get between 500 to 1,500 words in it per week.
I need to start publishing some of the oneshots, they've got potential. Eh, maybe tomorrow or a day after that. I'll make a note in my schedule.
But looking over everything, it's amazing what I've been able to do since quarantine started.
Let's see: for fic 1 I've posted 12 chapters, each one 1,000 words. Total: about 12,000 words
Fic 2 I've posted 15 chapters, each roughly 2,000 words each. Total: 33,136 words (I can actually check this one)
Fic 3 has 6 chapters, each roughly 500 words. Total: about 3,000 words
Plus my pet projects (about 8,000 and 7,000) and one shot document (about 12,000) .... Total: got to be about 27,000 words at the minimum...
And of course this, which is 127 chapters in, each one ranging from 200 to over 2,000 words long. (I'm not counting it)
Grand total: roughly 75,136 and that's not counting the side projects I don't have enough time to count up.
I've done a lot with my time, and I don't really stop to think about it, but it's a lot, and it's incredible what I've been able to do.
Woo, math.
Idk, I kinda like calculating this stuff up when I'm not forced to by school.
Like, for a fic I'm doing I've had to calculate a lot of characters' ages because I don't have proper ways to get them so I've just been hunting their fandom wiki pages down, piecing together the timeline, using way too many sticky notes to write down my calculations.
I'm way too tired to be talking about how I've been doing math of my own free will for fics. I would literally do a lot to do a fic right, like I've looked up what wine goes better with red sauce pasta (red wine, wow), who was General Charles Lee's second according to history and not the musical (General Edwards for your information), and what stages a legal court case moves through (there's a lot).
Help me I'm a writer, I put too much time into my pointless research.
I won't research for school, but I will search how to deflate lungs for a story.
There is no saving me.
I am a writer and my search history is cursed.
Stay safe kiddos and remember to cut the lungs to deflate them!
Love you <3<3<3<3
