It's really nice out today and I went outside to write, but now I want to read or work on 'Anatomy of Prose' prompts instead. Curse my heavy laptop that makes it really inconvenient to move around. At the very least, it'll still be a productive weekend, it'll just a bit of a lazy productive weekend.

Hey. I’m MJ01 from Archive of Our Own.
          *awkward finger guns*

My rough draft looks like a rainbow barfed on it, but TCP Ch. 2 is nearly done. I'll see you on Friday!

Happy Pride Month! Where ever you are in your journey in understanding your identity, just know that you are loved and are in my prayers. Stay safe and love yourself for who you are!

Last night I was working on 'The Captive Prince' and took a step back after my writing session to look up some...details...just to make sure I'm getting it as accurate as possible. It got way darker than I thought it would with these details. Now I'm questioning if it's too early for this type of angst and if I'm actually okay.
          Then again, I've seen fics with darker stuff happen to these characters, so I might be okay?

I know I only wrote a couple of chapters for TCP, but it's really hard to keep a decent schedule for that without taking time away from my actual projects and school work. I don't want to say I'm going to stop writing it, but I may just during the school year. I'm too worried about the deadlines I set for myself and it's not very fun for me.
          
          I may come back to it over the summer, IDK, but I need to focus on the projects that may start my writing career.
          
          I hope you understand. <3

I really want to watch Steven Universe: The Movie now since I wasn't able to watch it Monday because I was working, but I also have school work to do.
          
          Then again, most of it's reading and my Art History thesis isn't die till Thursday.

College classes started last Monday, I think it goes without saying that I'm pretty busy at the moment. I'm focusing on a submission for the literary magazine, but once that's done I'll focus on TCP. I might not get it out by the end of October since the due date for the submission is due at the beginning of October and it's hard enough to find the time to write between school and work.
          
          This is just a warning ahead of time. The schedule will go back to normal during breaks.

I finished the first draft for Ch. 1 of "The Captive Prince" earlier today. I'm planning on taking a short break away from it before I get started on editing. My current plan is to get it out a week before school starts. Until then I'll see you around:)

I'm currently trying to figure out how to use AO3 so I have another place to put "The Captive Prince". The fic will still be on here, but I'm also putting it on AO3 because options. :)
