Wrote like 900 whole words today! Which brings Total Wordcount up to about uhhh 8-9k words! Woo! Behind schedule but y’know what! It’s progress!

Alright I need a creative reset or I’ll end up just staring at this page until I die? Time to listen to a podcast

Alright so I probably won’t hit my nano goals by end of November, but! Y’know what! I’m making progress still! In bits and pieces, but it’s still going!

Current total wordcount: somewhere around 9k I think

I swear half of me writing this is me staring at the page and going “can you just get to the sappy soft parts already please?”

Outlining is fun! I’m a big fan of the “leave blank spaces” approach to outlining and planning out every little thing makes me feel stifled and cramped. This is relevant because there’s three points for this chapters outline, one of them being “she’s here”

Total Wordcount: yeah ok only did like 300 words today but! i set up my new notebook and posted the first chapter so! still at around 8k ish.

Datura And Hollyhock, Chapter One

Summary:

Noah is lost. He is a ranger, who is lost, and very aware of how that sounds, thank you. But he is lost, and he thinks he made a very wrong turn not too far back. Around him are trees he’s never seen before, and that is… disconcerting. Mostly because the trees are pink. He knows where he is and he is very lost.
Deep in the Rosewood Forest there is a palace. Within this palace sits a king. The king isn’t lost, but he feels like it sometimes. And then a ranger falls out of nowhere and knocks him over.

A Wanderer and a King cross paths.

discarded summaries: A wanderer and a king cross paths, what happens next will shock you!
