My name is Willow (pen name!), I’m 29, she/they, and I write queer NA fantasy almost exclusively. Originally, I had my main WIP pinned, but I love all my children equally now, so I want to share them all with you below. If you’re also a writeblr who is over 18 and writes queer NA or YA fantasy, please feel free to reblog this intro and tell me about your WIPs! (:

Progress on TFM - Week 1

I'm working on Two for Mirth, a mystery sapphic romantasy standalone, for my (unaffiliated) Camp NaNo project this month. Here's where I'm at on draft 1:

Monday, 4/1: 2,692 words Tuesday, 4/2: 3,742 words Wednesday, 4/3: 0 words (Therapy took up my writing time) Thursday, 4/4: 1,769 words Friday, 4/5: 0 words (Mental health day)

TOTAL: 8,203 words

My goal for the month is 35k, and I'm well on my way to hitting that mark! I did write myself off-course a bit and now I need to re-write a few sections before I keep going, which is slightly frustrating. Somehow my characters just do whatever they want regardless of what I need them to be doing in order to progress the plot, anyone else have that problem? And feel free to reblog and let me know how your progress is going, too, Camp NaNo or otherwise!

Of course, thank you! <3 Eliza's going to be my problematic fave as well, I'm afraid.

Quote of the day from my first draft of Two for Mirth, my mystery sapphic romantasy:

happy (unaffiliated) Camp NaNo to all who participate!

Goal today is 1500-2k words on TFM
