Today was WriDay which means I push myself on word count. The smallest goal is 2.5k and that’s what I aimed for.

Ahem we are now entering the stage of mutually pining idiots bwahaha. Honestly, I did Helen who was thinking to herself “why hasn’t James kissed me yet?” and going to James who was thinking “I’d like to kiss her but her body language says no and I don’t want to pressure her.” and this is only going to get worse I’m afraid. They are going to slide into loving one another, and yet being utterly convinced the other has no interest.

I wish I could say John was going to do better but nope he’s going to be even worse. I’m still feeling out this middle part and deciding when to introduce Nigel and Nikola. Originally I put in my tentative plan that they didn’t start working with the source blood until the epilogue but I’m starting to rethink that. I’ll have to see how it develops.

Anyway the story is moving forward. The honeymoon is now over and they have just got back to James’ home. John was waiting practically by the door and is a bundle of nerves bless him, as he’s a bit scared that James is going to abandon him now he has a wife. A little TLC needed I think 🙂

galactic-pirates said:  @littlejoregal it’s a new thing lol. It’s been years since I was this productive. But thank you 🙂 I hope it continues. 

littlejoregal said:  What is the secret? 😅 I mean the drive? 

galactic-pirates said:  @littlejoregal I like to tell stories. I have them in my head and I like to get them out. That has kept me trying even on really lean years where I’ve written next to nothing. At the moment my new enthusiasm for Sanctuary is helping a lot. It’s heady days with a fresh obsession 🙂 

littlejoregal said:  Oh, that I understand too well! 😅 If there aren’t stories in my head I can’t cope with life as it is. I meant your writing shedule. You just will yourself to sit down or you have something going on like nanowrimo? 

galactic-pirates said:  @littlejoregal oh I see! Yes I am trying to make it a routine. I sit down and open the document everyday and endeavour to write at least a sentence. I did try and mandate a set amount each day like NaNo but I haven’t been able to manage that. I struggle with anxiety and writing can set off panic attacks. I managed words half of the days in January which was a big win for me as I think I maybe managed 15 days in total January-November last year 😛
