I started 6th form two weeks ago and I’m already hopelessly behind on a coursework-y deadline, apparently incapable of time management and about five minutes from some sort of breakdown.
          	
          	Like, it’s one in the morning, I have to be up in five hours, and I’m just starting one piece of homework I’ve had this weekend — out of three — because I genuinely don’t know how to manage my time at all, and I’m actually about to cry. No joke.
          	
          	I’d love to k ow how other people do this, but I’m gonna end up failing everything if I can’t change the way my very brain handles these things, and I’m not sure if that’s actually even possible?

Yes, I did put this here, like any sane human being.

          So I’m putting A Rational Magic into The Wattpad Write-Off! by @xmarzyx
          
          I’ll try linking it, but I don’t know if it’ll work…

So it did work!
            
            Look, I don’t link things using my phone very often.

Okay. I’m making a quick outline for the final eight or nine chapters of A Rational Magic (I say eight or nine but who actually knows yet, I have four ‘outlines’ written out) and working out how many words I can use. It’s gonna be great if I can make it eight, so we end with thirty-four chapters, and the last ones can be a bit longer than if I end with thirty-five.
          
          It is going to feel rushed.
          
          I know this.
          
          But I have my plans for the final chapter in my head already and it should seem like a good place to end the first Ferrin Twins story.
          
          I hope you think so as well.

Holy shit, I’ve been writing so much more than normal over the last few days… dear Lord.
          
          A Rational Magic is at 19,394 words! One more chapter and it’s officially long enough to count for Round Three!
          
          Have I got all the plot lines I want in? Well, no, but A Rational Magic is not meant to be the only Ferrin Twins story. I’ve made up my mind on that.
          
          Once A Rational Magic is done, I’m gonna hopefully be trying my hand at a vampire-dark-fantasy thing, but expect nothing particularly consistent there. I do have exams coming up…

AviatrixSwan

Might be more witch-based than vampire-based, but I do have a working cover and title for a vampire tale so… probably gonna be the bloodsuckers.

Me: Man, why is this username so familiar? 
          
          You: *adds TDS to a reading list*
          
          Me: Ah, yes, that would explain it. XD

@Cross-Warrior Oh, and also the review for The Dragon's Scale contains some of the best sentences -- which really means the weirdest -- I've ever written. It's like my mum's list of sentences she never thought she'd say. 
            Such as the classic: "---, spit ------ out."
            (--- is my youngest sister and ------ is my other sister. They were playing a game, I forget which one.)
            But yeah, yours is probably my personal favourite so far.

@Cross-Warrior It's still the longest, by quite an amount. Still have to do the fifth but that is a job for Tuesday-and-awake Swan, not Sunday-and-almost-asleep Swan.
            (And while I can't tell you exactly how you've done, yours is one of the two that I have given full marks on Overall Enjoyment, and I'm gonna prioritise my continued reading of it when I have time. Which is sadly almost never, but I at least intend to continue reading.)

@AviatrixSwan Well. That reads very foreboding xD

Hey! As you probably don't know, I'm extremely hydrophobic and quite thalassophobic. I can't swim, and I avoid situations where it might be necessary like the plague. I'm not going to die because of a quick decision to swim in a cold lake or a reservoir over the summer months.
          
          Having said that, I'm gonna try following every prompt in Writer's Lagoon - Writing Prompts by @talesofthedeep -- out of order, technically. Like I'll maybe do 5 before 2, or 20 before 13. Each chapter will be numbered correctly.
          
          So keep an eye out for anything on my profile titled 'From The Depths'! And be warned, mermaids aren't my strong suit. But the prompts are brilliant, so check the book out yourself if you like!
          
          (Every prompt will also be the image at the top of its respective chapter.)

Hi! I have the link on hand this time!
          https://www.wattpad.com/story/289270088-the-arena-awards
          It's fantasy and sci-fi only (so like entirely my thing, isn't it?) and as of now there's only one category -- Arena of Beauty, best cover -- but there'll be more in the future and I'm super excited for, well, the future!
          I don't know whether to put the account it's on or list the judges as of now, so I'll do all three:
          @KirukkanGuild
          @MiyaHikari

Guess who's procrastinating their revision for mock exams to enter a writing contest? Me! But like I'm not in school on Friday so... full day I can revise in. Like I'm doomed to fail my two pre-Friday exams anyway. Spanish sucks, just so you know (no offence to anyone who enjoys learning Spanish, or is Spanish. I just utterly despise the subject). 
          
          Anyway! It's Stars and Short Stories by @avadel again. I'm... working on my entry, technically (it's 2 in the morning, it's Tuesday, I need to sleep) but figured I'd get this out of the way. The link will be in the replies to this, since I didn't think to get that done before writing this all out.
