Eremji @eremji.bsky.social · 11/09/2026August was pretty good to me for ficwriting/edits, but I'll be slowing down for September for other obligations. This fic is still very much in progress (and has gained nearly 20k in the editing process), + I'm more than halfway through with the monstrous 170k pile of editing I'd put off (oops) 000
Reposted by Eremjijonny @misterbloat.bsky.social · 02/09/2026It’s about time we had a reckoning with the need so many writers feel to over-explain everything aspect of their stories, even in non Weird genres. Readers don’t need to be babied. Let us figure things out. Leave room for interpretation. Over-explanation makes writing worse. 14446105

Eremji @eremji.bsky.social · 20/07/2026This fic is definitely breaking 90k by the time revisions are done and it's standing behind me with a steel chair. I have to keep in mind something this long is new for me and it's okay if it isn't absolutely perfect; the learning process has been immense, sometimes painful, but extremely rewaring 010

Eremji @eremji.bsky.social · 19/05/2026I'm off work until next Tues so I've been getting some fic editing done. I thought I had something ready to post, but turns out I wrote the ending half awake & don't like it on reread, & don't have a better idea yet. On the plus side, I have plenty more almost-done work to tackle while it marinates 020

Eremji @eremji.bsky.social · 11/05/2026I'm off work next week and I badly need it for editing this fic. The last few months have been so busy, and as much as I enjoy the job security, my time around work has been packed as hell, too. I'm looking forward to a week of (mostly) uninterrupted writing and editing time 030

Eremji @eremji.bsky.social · 10/04/2026First chapter of this fic is the toughest to edit, mostly because it was written before I did the bulk of my research. Some of it is just thrown together, all misplaced exposition dump, no sense of pacing. I've learned a lot since starting, and while it needs some revision, I feel great about it 230
Eremji @eremji.bsky.social · 25/03/2026This feels increasingly relevant as I continue to try to make friends with other fandom creatives 020
Eremji @eremji.bsky.social · 17/03/2026My move is complete so I'm resurfacing. I love the new place so much, even though we're still halfway living out of packed boxes and a bunch of minor stuff went way off plan. It's going to take a couple more weeks (& paychecks) to get fully set up, but I have a nice private space to write and work 😌 030
Eremji @eremji.bsky.social · 24/02/2026I am in the terrible place of Waiting For Things To Happen (Moving Edition). I worked too fast and got everything done early so I wouldn't be stressed, and YET -- 110

Eremji @eremji.bsky.social · 16/02/2026Been very busy this month, but I've managed to get out a few thousand new words this weekend. I've got a ~10k fic ready to be edited; it's coming later in a series, so posting is still a bit off, but pieces are starting to fall into place. 020

Eremji @eremji.bsky.social · 10/02/2026Had to up my word count estimate from 70k to 74k (it will increase again, you may find me on the floor wallowing around about it) for my big WIP. If you'd asked me a year ago if I could've written something this size I would've laughed 040
Eremji @eremji.bsky.social · 07/02/2026This fic has nearly 70k words in the doc. It's nearly done in some semblance of the word, but it feels a lot like I dumped sand in a big cube and haven't made it recognizable as a castle yet 020
Eremji @eremji.bsky.social · 07/02/2026I say I'm close to being done with the draft of my big humanformers fic but the first scene has seven separate holes in it where I wrote placeholder notes /o\. 010

Eremji @eremji.bsky.social · 05/02/2026Still feel like I'm underwater, but I'm starting to write again. I'm in a tough spot w/ several of my fics; they're 90%+ done and need editing, but I'm so damn tired and busy. I love to edit, but it does feel significantly more like work than any other part of writing and my brain isn't here for it 010
Eremji @eremji.bsky.social · 29/01/2026Did not make it out of January unscathed -- six days of ear infection put me in a foul mood, and now the medication 4x a day is another dose of aggravation, but I'll catch up on everything in February 010
Eremji @eremji.bsky.social · 21/01/2026Trying out some configurations for my word count tracker. Not sure I'm 100% on this format but the information is, at least, accurate: 120
Eremji @eremji.bsky.social · 20/01/2026It feels very weird to have just started and finished a fic in roughly ten days. I've had so many I've been juggling for months that I keep opening the file and trying to add something, but it's done, minus edits. My brain keeps doing the confused dog head tilt 010
Eremji @eremji.bsky.social · 20/01/2026Part of me misses writing for a big fandom for a popular ship, since at least even my most mediocre shit had people interested. What am I doing writing a story about identity and love for a ship that's treated as a huge joke by the fandom for a piece of media already not taken seriously? 020
Eremji @eremji.bsky.social · 20/01/2026Accidentally started and completed a fic that uhhh technically needs at least a couple of the six other fics I'm working on posted ahead of it. Currently seeing how many levels of AU I can impose on an idea before it collapses into something unrecognizable and unreadable. It has not yet. 110
Eremji @eremji.bsky.social · 17/01/2026Image attached for those who are only interested in my final 2025 stats, but I made a post over on Tumblr about my 2025 in ficwriting: www.tumblr.com/eremji/80595... 020

Eremji @eremji.bsky.social · 12/01/2026Did a big clean this weekend and still managed to get in some good writing time AND relaxation. That might be the first time that's happened in months. Hoping I have enough brainpower left at work tomorrow to read on my lunch break. 030
Eremji @eremji.bsky.social · 09/01/2026Decided to do my own little productivity weekend, but it involves catching up on my abso-fucking-lutely titanic Marked For Later reading backlog and commenting, because if I keep writing I have to also keep editing 010
Eremji @eremji.bsky.social · 09/01/2026Sometimes I worry that someone is making a throwaway comment on something and I'm slowly cranking my railgun of research in their direction as I compose a reply, but occasionally I do find people who specifically enjoy me backing a dump truck's worth of technical sources up to them and letting loose 010
Eremji @eremji.bsky.social · 06/01/2026Climbing out of my brief end of the year hibernation to get back to work. I've got about a million things to do from now until the end of March, so fingers crossed for smooth sailing 030

Eremji @eremji.bsky.social · 30/12/2025Today - work, editing Tomorrow - work, editing, posting The rest of the week - a deep clean (not because of the new year, though that's convenient vacation time, but because we're moving into a bigger place in March and the slow packing process begins now) 010
Eremji @eremji.bsky.social · 29/12/2025My 2025 goals are all met, they were: - write at least 1k/day on average (currently 419k YTD) ✅ - keep my Ao3 inbox caught up ✅ - develop a personal writing tracker ✅ - keep my data backed up externally ✅ - do at least one fandom event ✅ - do at least one big prompt challenge ✅ [1/2] 140
Eremji @eremji.bsky.social · 28/12/2025Last rough draft of the year finished, currently just shy of 7.5k. Three evenings to edit it is eminently doable, since this is one of the ones I liked the most right out the gate and my urge to fuck with it will be mitigated by it already being in a place I mostly like 000
Eremji @eremji.bsky.social · 27/12/2025I cannot be in fandom servers with some of these people because I'll occasionally find myself in a discussion with someone who's sitting there puffed up and confidently wrong and the only information they have is someone's 30 second heavily edited TTS clips 1/ 130
Eremji @eremji.bsky.social · 27/12/20255 days left in 2025 and I have one fic left to edit and post before the ball drops. Jan-March are going to be dry on posting since I've got to finish and edit approximately 100k words of fic for a longfic + the shorts it spawned and I'll be VERY busy IRL, but I'm out of the woods on so much stuff 020
Eremji @eremji.bsky.social · 24/12/2025had a breast tissue biopsy earlier this year that I'm still paying off (it turned out to be absolutely nothing, don't worry) and my partner & I have been talking ourselves into making better choices in our spending by saying 'no, I have to pay off the titty first' 010
Eremji @eremji.bsky.social · 23/12/2025Decided it was worth the extra cost for a 2 br apartment that's 15 minutes from work in bad traffic instead of 45-90, and in line with my partner's route instead of the opposite direction, so come March-ish I'll be cutting my daily commute from about 3 hours to 30 minutes. I might get some sleep 030
