Maybe I spend too much time studying writing craft. Now I can't even watch a movie without identifying plot beats and looking for patterns in the tropes. "Oh, there's a mentor? There's a 50% chance he's evil, and a 95% chance he dies. Better not get attached."

After ~five years of failed drafts, redone outlines and derailed plans, it's time to admit I'm in over my head. I'm going to step back from my novel. It's sad, but that time wasn't wasted: I've gained skills, ideas and knowledge for whatever project comes next. And there WILL be a next project.

Either Moleskine's quality has gone down over the years, or I somehow ended up with a bootleg notebook. The paper is so thin, I can see PENCIL marks through it without holding it up to a light. This notepad will not work for my needs. Thus, I had to order a different one... on Amazon. Bleeeeegh.
A photo of a notebook. It's open to a blank page, but everything written on the other side of the page is visible through the thin paper. At the bottom of the page, one can easily see the reverse image of a drawing on the other side of the paper. The drawing is of Varrick from The Legend of Korra saying, "Kaylee, DO THE THING!"

It turns out, there was only ONE dot grid notebook for sale in my entire city... A single $24 black A5 Moleskine. It wasn't even in the notebook section; it was in the endcap of the printer ink aisle of an OfficeMax. Apparently the cost of boycotting Amazon is a lot of time, gas, and product variety

Currently experiencing the crushing weight of having to pick which blank notebook to use for brainstorming a project which has, thus far, been exclusively a digital work. Do I use the blue hardcover notebook? The dark fungal one with gold trim? The soft purple fungi notebook with fewer pages???

Man... Nothing like asking, "Why isn't my story coming together?" and taking a step back to realize I've written three stories in a trenchcoat. All with different themes and subplots, lore, and cast requirements. They just happen to take place in the same world.

Oh yeah, I forgot @kayleedragonfly.bsky.social roams around these parts. Something dumb I made for her after feeling a bit nostalgic and never quite posted around here. ...Not quite satisfied looking back. May need a redo. Such is the fate of those who look back on their old shit apparently. ;w;

Imagine if someone told you that the only correct time to put out a grease fire is after your entire house has burned down. That's how I feel when I see the writing advice, "Never edit or rewrite anything until the first draft is done." It's okay to fix a problem when you've identified one.

Those trying to write 50k words in their book over the course of November for #NovNov: if you're trying to write every day, you should be finishing today with a total 10,000 words. I'm currently at 8,645. I have just 1,355 words to go. Wish me luck!

Thanksgiving in the USA is associated with trees covered in vibrant orange fall foliage. And yet, Halloween, which occurs a whole month before it, is associated with leafless, skeletal-looking trees. What's up with that? Little bit of time travel shenanigans at play?

Kaylee Dragonfly @kayleedragonfly.bsky.social · 05/11/2025
My goals for the month of November: add 50,000 words to my novel, and write at least one sentence every day. Obviously, I'm going to write more than one sentence a day. That's just me setting the bar low enough that I don't get discouraged when I'm too sick or busy to write much for a day. #novnov

Novel November day one progress: 2137 words. I'd say that's pretty decent, for just two hours of devoted writing time!

And so it begins... Novel November! ProWritingAid is hosting a writing challenge: 50k words over the month of November. I'm going to try to bang out the science fantasy story I've been slowly chugging away at since 2021. One a scale of 1 to 10, how nuts am I for setting this goal? #NovNov

It's 2am. I really, REALLY ought to be asleep. Instead, I'm up here contemplating rewriting my two protagonists as women (they're currently a man and an enby) because a sapphic story is more in line with my lived experience. It'd be a queer story either way, and I'm under that umbrella, but... yeah.

I hate it when I get an idea and ask, "Why haven't other people already done this?" ... Only to learn that they have, many times, with great success, and I simply wasn't paying attention. We all have blind spots.

It's always a bittersweet feeling, when you've been reading an excellent comic and you get all caught up, and now you have to wait for the next update. I highly recommend Cassiopeia Quinn to anybody who loves action, silliness, and a heartfelt story... Set in SPAAAAACE! www.cassiopeiaquinn.com

more words on perfectionism. "We always do the best that we can by the light we have to see by."
screenshot from an ebook. the text reads: "Perfectionism is not a quest for the best. It is a pursuit of the worst in ourselves, the part that tells us that nothing we do will ever be good enough— that we should try again.

No. We should not.

“A painting is never finished. It simply stops in interesting places,” said Paul Gardner. A book is never finished. But at a certain point you stop writing it and go on to the next thing. A film is never cut perfectly, but at a certain point you let go and call it done. That is a normal part of creativity—letting go. We always do the best that we can by the light we have to see by. "

I know filler is bad in principle, but the urge to make my main characters get in a fight over whether or not they've been isekaid is SO STRONG. "We got in a vehicle crash and ended up in a world with magic, so it's isekai!" "But I don't have a harem, so no, it's not!"

Much as I love fancy spellcheckers like ProWritingAid, sometimes the suggestions they make are phenomenally bad... Like saying I can boost my vocabulary by changing "It's good" to "It good."

"futuristic society blots out the stars so thoroughly they begin mistaking glimpses of them for alien attacks" is the kind of hamfisted Industry Bad moral that I'd consider it embarassingly unsubtle as the finale to a star trek TOS episode -R

Pfffft, hahaha! I tried updating my word count through Nanowrimo because I wanted an automated way to track my progress... The numbers its giving me are so wildly inaccurate, because I just posted everything I've written so far into a single day's wordcount. I MIGHT need to change my goal settings.
A screenshot from Nanowrimo's stats page. It says my average word count is 88 words per day, and my average writing speed is 586 words per minute

Showing my age a little here, but I find it strange and slightly depressing that kids these days dress like adults with a couple more color options. When I was a kid, that was not the case. There were entirely different fashion expectations by age group.
