I’ve made more slow progress! I got the beginning scenes nailed down, working on pacing and what comes after. Idk why I feel the need to post every time I write a few paragraphs into a Google doc, but I do

Yeah, I think I have the MtaM premise nailed down, just need to think up scenes and pacing. So.. get hyped for sorrowful fluff and chronic illness and coping with world events and leaving an abusive relationship (cuz that surprisingly has a grieving period for many people)

The best writing involves a little bit of self-inserting, because I know what feeling hopeless in a time of political and moral turmoil and war is like. Yeah, that’s right, I’m gonna cope with current events via historical Countryhuman’s yaoi! (Unless I scrap the plot AGAIN)

I’m the kind of person to draft 4 different plots, pick the first one, and then once I start writing—I hate the first plot again

I’m not very passionate about MtaM, and the current plan I have would be like 20 more poorly planned chapters, and I don’t wanna do that! I can do better! So, my plan is to edit the story to be cleaner and shorter. I tend to lose steam at 5 medium-length chapters. So I wanna challenge myself to write a story in 3 longer ones. Setting and rising action, rising action and climax, then the falling action and resolution. With cleaner characterization, a better planned plot and plot points, and honestly better setting because whats the time period(the Russian empire or USSR, and when within those eras)? Why did I just make up a cryptid for Canada instead of using a real one like I did for Scotland and I planned to for Romania? I’m leaving the current one where it is, as the 1st attempt and to show how I was writing at this time for my future self and any of you 4 people who read it (most of the reads are me). 
          I’m going to be planning for a while, that’s just how I have to work around depression’s lack of motivation.

Hi, I’ve been dead for a bit. Back at it though. I do little updates/edits every morning now. I’m excited about the next few chapters of MtaM, cuz I don’t write angst that often. Stay tuned!

Dude, I hyperfocused on Animal crossing new horizons for like… 10 hours (with breaks don’t worry).
          So…

Jk gang, I’m experiencing writers block 
          Also, I have final exams to do. So updating the chapters will be slow.

I’m gonna update the current MtaM chapters, bc I think they could be more descriptive. Also my witch design was trash. I’ve just posted an update to my art book if you want to learn more about the witch redesign

Merry Christmas <3
