a freewriting exercise & an update

❝ i dreamed about magic and dragons and flying to neverland and i knew if i wanted it hard enough i could go and i dreamed an old, cracking voice softly saying "after thunder, golden showers" and a young, lilting voice singing "and 'round the corner there may wait/a new road or a secret gate/and though i oft have passed them by/a day will come at last when i/shall take the hidden paths that run/west of the moon east of the sun" and there were fireflies i chased laughing in the dark and there was a swarm of mosquitos but they were golden and dancing in the light and they did not bite me and it was magic, magic, and i want it back. ❞

Hello hello, it's been really long while. Am I back? I don't know. I still haven't written any more of my books, but I no longer feel like my writing ability and creative drive is locked in a doorless safe buried far underground, encased in cement, out of my reach. So hopefully!

I do have some updates though:

• the wip I'd temporarily titled Chimken Tendies is now to be referred to as the Glitch wip!
• i put an indefinate pause on redrafting Rivener and instead
• i am planning an AU! It started as a convo with my friend, wondering how Wren and Kai's story would play out if the main antogonist, Cormac, found and took Wren under his wing when she was young. It's a darker story, but one I'm really excited about!

I hope you're all doing well! Comment below and update me on your lives and writing! Ask me questions about my wips! I may not be writing but I'm definitely thinking about my stories all the time. I reply, I promise, just slowly, and I love hearing from you.

Until then,
​Happy reading and writing!
