Little Special Treat For Those Who Are Reading The Tags: The Title For Chap 7 Is From Nobody By Mitksi - Tumblr Posts

Oh, the wonderful things I find when rereading what I wrote in a 2am frenzy. Some worth keeping, some in desperate need of rewrites.

Also, here’s a little peek into my writing process! I plot out the chapters into the beats the story needs to hit, then I color-code it and go in to write. If I get stumped, I halt and go pick up another section so I don’t loose momentum. (I had quite a bit of steam for the pink section though, it’s one of my favorites!) I simply put the words down, as rough as they need to be, and put the parts I know need editing in double parentheses to easily find later. I don’t have to find the perfect words right away, and I can get my thoughts down quicker to give me time to marinate on the proper phrasing for the mood and such. (I suppose 2am Blue had a headache and ran out of words) I also leave comments on the doc to remind me of important little details for later chapters or to add something I think is funny, like “idiot haul”.

Listening to lots of Mitski for this chapter since one of her songs is used for its title, thank you Ms. Mitski <3 she’s stuck with me through 12k words and I’m not even done with the full rough draft
