I am SO excited for this!! An outline is such a good milestone to hit. And I can wait to meet the rest of the characters

Ok! So I’ve been meaning to do one of these things and I haven’t, but I’m also going to add some blog updates here too!

WIP Progress

Outline is done!! There are still some plot holes that need to be filled out, but it’s there!

I am almost finished with all of the characters and intros for all of them are coming soon! (Also I am spending way too much time creating moodboards for all of them, but it’s worth it and they look awesome)

I literally have no clue what my setting is, I want it to be Europe, but then I have to do research and I don’t want to do that but I also don’t want to create a whole new world. So I’m gonna make a warped version of Europe! Which I’m not excited for but it needs to happen.

I have decided to use this WIP as my novel for Camp NaNoWriMo!! Which I have never done before, and I don’t know much about it. But I’m trying it anyway! (Also, if anyone does Nano, tell me, I’d love to be buddies on it!)

I have created a notebook for this WIP and I am loving it. Why I never used a notebook to plan and jot ideas down is beyond me. Cause it’s amazing! And I’m a typer and I love my computer but this is wonderful and I’m glad I tried it!

Thanks!)

My Blog & I Updates!

62 followers???!!!?!!!?! Where did you all come from?? And why?? I love each and every one of you and I’m glad you’re here! Obviously I’m doing something right if so many of you are hanging around

I have also created a blog masterpost, which will be updated constantly and if you’re on mobile, it’s the easy way to find everything.

I also have asks and tag games that I need to catch up on, I haven’t forgot about them, I just have a lot going on. I’m going to school physically now and I can’t be on Tumblr constantly. No phones out at school and I came home and looked at my phone it was blowing up during school with notifications. I love all of you, but I’m kinda drowning in school at the moment. But it’s Friday! So, I’ll have more time!

Also, I say “I love you” a lot. I am aroace, but I’m still very open with that phrase and I always mean it in a platonic, you mean a lot to me, and I would punch anyone who hurt you, way. I’m just mentioning that I case anyone gets confused when I say it.

Writing is simple. I plan a decent story, write the beginning then skip to interesting parts of it before losing interest and leaving it to collect dust. I take the characters with me and put them in random scenarios that I like in alternate universes using the excuse of "character development"

writing is simple. i put my characters into a situation that i, the author, cannot figure out how to get them out of and i close the document

Break the stigma

Um, excuse me? Who gave you the right to create such amazing characters each with a unique and in-depth background? The audacity you have to have this much talent!!

Matias Alcazar

Element: Air

Weapon: Quarterstaff (Kay’s name: Prescott)

Personality: a funny, caring, extremely affectionate extravert who loves music, travelling, reading, and nature. Knows how to cheer everyone up like it’s his job and is constantly singing weird songs he made up on the spot. Just an absolute joy to have around.

Backstory: Born in Argentina, moved to Austin, Texas at the age of two. Grew up in the Texas suburbs with his paragon parents and older brother. Learned quickly and cruelly that humans do not accept paragon which led him and his brother to join the Knaves right out of high school. A careless plan that ended with Matt injured and his brother dead convinced him that maybe it was time to switch sides.

Nickname(s): Matt (everyone), Aang (given to him by Kay), Tise (pronounced “Teese,” given to him by his brother), Little Alcazar (given to him by family friends who knew his brother)

I can never get enough of your writing

morning routines

nyx and juni wake up relatively early every day (usually, nyx wakes up first and just cuddles with juni for a bit to wake her up,, couple goals) and they make a Healthy breakfast together. nyx is pretty hopeless at cooking in the beginning, but juni is a very good teacher

lynn also wakes up early, but she does not love social interaction first thing in the morning, so she usually just reads while eating a piece of toast or something simple

violetta would wake up slightly early, but it’s still too late for her to eat breakfast since she spends a lot of time finding a cute outfit and putting on makeup. so usually, she just makes herself an iced coffee that she drinks during her first class (“all part of a complete breakfast!”)

aster goes to sleep very late and would like to sleep in. unfortunately, she is a light sleeper and shares a room with dawn (who wakes up early). as a result, aster is forced awake pretty early as well. she eats a simple breakfast (she doesn’t like to skip meals as a general rule) and makes herself a hot coffee which she drinks during school

violetta and aster would argue with each other about the merits of iced coffee versus hot coffee. every morning. it becomes a tradition, and the argument eventually becomes very flirtatious

tora wakes up Just before school and rushes to get dressed and look somewhat presentable. if she doesn’t have any time to spare, she’ll just grab a single heavily caffeinated energy drink (tora’s not allowed to have more than one after the Incident that ended up with her staying up for a solid four days and sleeping for five). if she does have time, tora makes herself a cup of tea (her brother taught her how to make tea and she always thinks about him while making it) and eats some type of dessert or chips

dawn wakes up very early and has a very sophisticated breakfast of toast and jam. she makes herself a cup of coffee (using her expensive coffee maker, of course), and she makes patterns in the foam. yes, dawn is extra and, yes, she’s upset that she doesn’t have a chef to make her breakfast anymore, but she will persevere somehow
