Week 5,6,7, & 8 update

Well, that was a hiatus that I certainly wasn't intending on happening.

Typing to you live on a new laptop because my personal one died an ugly death and then I had to give my old job their's back. While my phone was able to do some things...blogging here, running advertisements, and formatting Enshrine did not happen. So my Q4 plans were shifted slightly and that's okay. I've still got at least 30 days to go.

I won NaNoWriMo when I wasn't planning on it and without a computer
I had hoped to get a laptop far closer to the end of October when I left my old job, but my husband convinced me to wait until Black Friday. My original intention was to use Strange Sedition as my NaNoWriMo22 project, but it was just going to be too hard trying to use the different documents on my phone so I tabled it, thinking I wouldn't do anything this year...

...well my brain had other plans. Another goal I've had for this quarter was to keep a dream journal. I've gotten some of my best ideas from dreams. Well a day or two into November I had a really cool dream and I needed to write about it. No plot, no planning, totally the opposite of my usual strategy. As of this afternoon, I was at 52,000 words and change. It's evolved a lot over the month of November. It went from being a stand alone to a trilogy, from having magical elements to none whatsoever. The playlist I made for it is 50% angsty love songs and 50% Slavic/Baltic Songs. It has no title and I think it might be dystopian, but I'm THRILLED to finally have something new for myself, especially after the shiny object syndrome was so bad this summer and being a prisoner to Clean Western Christian Romance before that. I may post more about it in the future when it's finally done, but that's my crazy NaNoWriMo story.

​Oh and did I mention I wrote 52,000 words by hand?

Honestly, I'm not sure what happened either lol.

Other than that...I don't have much to report.
-Strange Sedition is at 18,000 words
-I've made the decision to be finished with my Enshrine/Eminence stuff after the reformat and proofreading. I need to move on for my mental health.
-Gonna try to do some advertising while there's still time!

See you next week! No really!
