Omg why can't I write?! Why can't I get motivated to work on the next book? Afjshsijkd. There's always some separation anxiety whenever I finish one, and it takes some time to get into the next even if the next one is something I'm excited about. But there was no separation anxiety with Incels. I was so sick of incels and misogynists by then I was happy to kiss it goodbye and move on already. I just want to bleach my brain of it.

You'd think there'd be no better way to bleach one's brain than with low stakes fantasy romance, but for some reason it just ain't coming. I feel more like reading than writing. Maybe that's not wrong; I'm really into The Book of Gothel right now. Highly recommend it, especially if you liked Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister and books like that. ヽ(^。^)丿

As far as writing, I'm pretending I'll write in November and going through the motions of Preptober right now:

  •   make an outline
  •   make a cover
  •   make a playlist
  •   make a family tree
  •   write a synopsis
  •   write an excerpt
  •   make a mood board
  •   research the time period

That all sounds like it's leading to something, except that nothing's happening. With any of it. Argh. (-᷅_-᷄๑)
