Day 48 (1:24) Of Rewriting My Novel

Literally how I'll be with Meiste Part One when I'm done with the first draft and I'm not excited for it lmfao.

I went into the second chapter of SaS just to edit it, but basically rewrote everything except for the very beginning LMAO.

Day 46 (1:22) of rewriting my novel

Yeah I finally wrote the Izi and Taguchif meet with governor Bunthun scene, which I decided was a lot shorter than I originally thought it might be?

Like, I make it very clear that she's pretty much just a power-hungry warlord who's jumping at the chance to assume complete control over Zenée adn start turning it into an enthostate and consolidate power by knocking out Tolftorrijv and the Middle States/Sedroste.

She's also a hard-ball. She demands control over Ir Nouzonif City only to immediately call back and be like "yeah, actually, just reparations and bordering land is fine."

whether you’re proud of it or not it’s words on the page and that alone deserves praise

you really believe in that "Han Dynasty" crap?

What?

Give your support !

EVERYONE(!) I’m blazing this post because at this pace we might barely hit 1,000,000 signatures—or just fall short. PLEASE reblog this post, no matter where you are from, so we can reach as many EU citizens as possible and end this horrible practice!

To get inspiration from con-sports (only tangentially related) I watched sports like rugby and cricket, which I knew nothing about and just tried to follow along. If your character knows nothing about baseball, perhaps they learn about it at the game?

I have been notoriously stuck in my story because of a section involving baseball. One of my main characters has his character development during a baseball game, but

clears throat

Baseball who?

I don't watch, play, or am interested in most if not all sports.

I only know baseball because of my mom lol.

So, question. What do you all do when you're writing about something you have little knowledge in, but can't just search it up?

I finally started writing my novel, Meiste, again! It’s about a rice farmer who becomes Emperor, a student at a religious boarding school searching for the secrets of spirituality, and one explosive (/literal) Princess all working together to return magical stability to their home, and fighting oppressive systems along the way.

So far, I’m 4,500 words in—there’s definitely still a long way to go. Most of my research for this so far has been about two things: rice farming and religion. (Sounds like the start to a bad dad joke!) I plan to mostly focus on the (former) rice farmer, In Iziser, since the novel is supposed to be from his point of view.

write unpublishable things. it's good for you.

This is so cute! Kara has my brain rotting out of my skull.

They've got the power of love and anime on their side!
