I'm currently being frustrated and trying to focus but it's really hard to focus on anything when the -news- is right there lurking behind my shoulder full of terrible things and stupid people determined that they get to control the narrative of everything and just... I just want to work on my story where someone learns that the system they grew up in is more broken than they ever imagined and do their best to fight the bad parts.
Weirdly I think I'm also being self-defeating because if I -finish- Draft 1.5 than I need to move to new territory and that's -scary- and the shadow of people who I grew up with that made me feel like I wouldn't be good enough is there.
So I guess I'm saying I have a lot of shadows looking over my shoulder right now.

Muggle Charms & Wizarding Hearts, an Arthur x Molly fanfic inspired by 10 Things I Hate About You and To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before
Arthur Weasley is shy, reserved, and intelligent. Molly Prewett is outspoken, opinionated, and popular. Paired together for their Muggle Studies Capstone project, Arthur and Molly undertake one of the most confusing elements of muggle life: muggle dating rituals. Loosely inspired by 10 Things I Hate About You and To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, Muggle Charms and Wizarding Hearts is shamelessly full of my favorite romance tropes and side characters: fake dating, miscommunication, idiots in love, a muggle studies professor who’s obsessed with 1960s/70s Harlequin Romance novels, baking, knitting, sleepovers in Gryffindor tower, thunderstorms, drive-in-movies, bowling alleys, slow dances to songs on the radio, and so much more.
Alla fine quelli che vorremmo tutti è solo tornare ad un po’ di normalità: uscire senza preoccuparsi del coprifuoco, scendere alle 22 e tornare alle 3. Uscire di casa senza motivo, uscire solo perché si ha voglia e poterlo fare senza usare la scusa della spesa. Alla fine vorremmo solo riabbracciarci gli uni con gli altri, lamentarci della folla e della gente che ci cammina addosso, bere dalla stessa bottiglia, smezzarsi le sigarette. Alla fine vorremmo tornare a viaggiare: in Italia, all’estero, vicino casa e dall’altra parte del mondo. Vorremmo solo girare per le scuole e le università e fare una chiacchiera con chi capita anziché vedere fotocamere spente durante le lezioni. Alla fine, sai che c’è? C’è che vorremmo solo non pensare, distrarci, svagare. Alla fine vorremmo solo smettere di accorgerci dei continui whatsapp ed instagram down che in questo momento sembrano un problema più grande di “Ma che mi metto stasera per uscire?”. Alla fine vorremmo solo togliere questa mascherina dalla faccia, poter interagire tranquillamente con le persone senza la paura che siano “troppo positive”. Vorremmo solo smettere di far fare 30 giri al giorno al cane che non ce la fa più neanche a muoversi dalla cuccia. Alla fine vorremmo correre in spiaggia, liberi, sentire il vento tra i capelli e stare bene. Vorremmo solo smetterla di preoccuparci di un raffreddore, dei decimi di febbre, vorremmo solo che si alzi la temperatura dei cuori e non del corpo. Alla fine vorremmo solo smetterla di ricordare quello che facevamo prima e vederlo come un tempo più che lontano e tornare a vivere. Ma vivere davvero.
Planning my #quaratine #writers project! Needed some new inspiration before going back to Gen Zedd, but don’t worry!

NaNoWriMo has officially started and I'm doing great! I've been taking every opportunity to write and I'll hope that I can continue this trend throughout all of November.
I've done a lot of travel, so the most I've written is on my phone in the bus to work and in the train travelling to friends and family.
Now, for the statistics:
I've written 8.507/50.000 words, with a goal of writing 1.667 each day to complete it by November 30th.
I've written 4/40 chapters, and would like to finish it all by November 30th. Which means that I would need to write 1.33 chapters every day.
(Yes, I made this in Excel and I’m proud of myself! I used this function for the 1st time on about 7 years, and got it working in about 30 minutes *Cheers* )
I'm way ahead on my words count goal, and right on track for my chapter goal. And it feels amazing.
How are you doing right now? Don't forget there was still 26 days to complete your challenge(s).
If you have any questions send me an ask here on tumblr or tweet me.
QOTD: do you have pets that refuse to let you read? AOTD: at the moment I am pet setting and these two adorable creatures refuse to let me pick up books. But I get to take cute photos of them so it's all good. ☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡ Happy Friday all! I'd like to introduce my fur Niece and Nephew! The one giving me kitty cuddles (slide two) is Atticus and the sleepy kitty (slide three) is Miss Luna Lovegood. (Her daddy named her). These two adorable kitties have slowed down my reading a little as my sister is moving and I am looking after them for her. I don't mind at all cause they give the best cuddles when they aren't running around the house like they're insane haha. I posted them with this candle because the two of them are inseparable just like parabatai. ☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡ #bookstagram #bookkitties #parabatai #candles #bookishcandles #potionscandleco #aussiebookstagrammer #mybookfeatures #ausbookishfeatures #shadowhunters #books #bookstagramlove #booklove #bookcandle #candlelove #openbook #words #amwriting #currentlywriting #booklr #booksoftumblr https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv3-u_UnXfk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=d3xaydsimu5s
Yes, yes it’s all coming along nicely. It’s been a childhood dream to make a book like this one, with both my writing and my art. I can’t wait to hold a copy of this book when I’m done. Book of the Bloody Kingfisher coming soon! • | | | | #myth #mythology #occult #occultart #supernatural #horror #horrorart #horrorfiction #books #bookart #bookillustration #illustration #writing #creature #wip #bookproject #currentlywriting #monsters #bestiary #lovecraftian #necronomicon #grimoire #fantasy #lovecraftian #bestiary (at Stone Oak) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXloIu1g4SS/?utm_medium=tumblr
Twelve days, eight shows, six cities. An unexpected, yet impossible to refuse invitation. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. How many unknown artists land this kind of gig? According to Pete, not many. He wanted to accept it, so I agreed. Maybe this would open the door to our first album.

Happy Monday! I’m running out of picture! I’ve been so busy with life! Tomorrow I’ll definitely have to take some more pictures if I can. I have another busy day planned for tomorrow. . . Today I finally took the plunge picked up a ton of books about Norse mythology, folklore, Viking lore, and culture (and more) for novel research. I have a certain idea that I want to flesh out, but I need to do TON of research to have an idea of where I can go with it. . . #qotd can you recommend me any YA novels that take place in Norway or the Scandinavian area? Any time period is welcome! . . #accessibility [a row of books on a shelf. The spines are facing to the wall so the pages are facing out. The book CITY OF BRASS is facing outwards and is in the center of the frame] . . {#eastothesunwestothemoon #norsemythology #norseman #norway #scandanavian #cityofbrass #wip #currentlywriting #bookstagram #bookblog #bookblogger #blog #blogger #bookreview #bookreviewer #review #booktube #booknerd #bookworm #booknerdigans #bookshelf #bookshelfie #shelfie #booklover #bookporn #ireadya #yalovin #epicreads}
