Writing

[dragonjournal]

So, I'm going to write out things here and let things out.

So, WIPs first:

- Alpha's Wife - Arranged Marriage

Leja is a beaten child, just nineteen. She is being forced into marriage with Jowan, a brutal Alpha who knows no tenderness.

I'm a little hesitant on this one. I'm not sure what I'm doing save her parents are going to be bastards, and she's going to have to learn to stand up for herself.

- Billionaire's Leprechaun

Aoife stumbles into marriage with a billionaire and all the problems that brings.

This one, it's going well, but like... the story is lost? I kinda forget where the story was going.

- Brigid Mate

Brigid ran from her home for not getting the title she earned. She has run to another Pack and thus found her Mate and been named not only History Keeper, but Alphess. But it can't all be paradise.

This one has a very clear trajectory. She and her Mate will face the test of her former Alpha, and come together stronger than ever.

- Cinderella?

Hetetha is trying to hold her crumbling inheritance together. To do this means marriage, but no one will marry the Lady Foxworth. She needs to change who she is. Can she do it before the King intervenes?

Again, this has a clear trajectory. I know who she's marrying, and who the bad guy is. Just need to write it

- Cora's Surprise Wedding

Left before the altar, Cora asks another man to marry her. Between her struggling farm, and his emerging restaurant, they have things they need from each other. But what about what they want?

I know who the bad guy is. Just not sure how to make him the bad guy and not just a creep.

- Fae Hunter

So, something happened and all of a sudden certain people can see the Fae that have been protecting this world for millennia. I am one of those people. But when word starts coming in that the Fae are teaching people MAGIC and the Fae are openly attacking? This isn't good.

I lost steam on this one. I may pick it back up again, may not.

- First Person Werewolf

I am a paralegal who also happens to be a werewolf. Living as a Rogue outside of Pack lines, I don't have much privilege in the world of werewolves. Until the Alpha calls me Mate.

I really need to work on this one. It's fun, but I have to reread and figure out where it's going.

- Modern Cinderella

She doesn't want to get married. Neither does he. Perhaps if they pretend to cling to one another people will back off?

I am almost done with this one, I think. It's heading toward the climax, anyway.

- The Unknown Letter

Woman receives a letter addressed to her mother who died the winter before.

I don't even know WTH I was doing with this one. It's so weird to me. Maybe rereading will help.

- Werewolf - Abused and Beaten

Caitriona is the lowliest of her Pack. She wasn't always, but her Da's death had changed all that. Her Alpha keeps her in rags, and makes her withstand inhumane punishment, for no reason she can fathom. Then, there's an attack on the Pack. Where are these kidnappers taking her and what awaits her at the other end?

This is almost finished. I just need to get through the fight, through the recovery and then write the last scene. But writing fights is HARD and I dun wanna.

- Wolf King

He's coming. He's coming and the entire town is in a tizzy about it. She couldn't care less.

I lost the thread on this one. I need to pick it back up again.


***

Now on to the ones in editing hell:

- Narissia NOTE: Editing is done

My swords and fates and soothsaying story. I'm getting toward the end.

- Steampunk

What it says on the tin. It's at the final fight.

- Boybands

Just started editing this one. But it's going steadily.

- Mira and the Revenant

I will start editing this once one of the first three is in rewrite.

- Kalla

Same with this one.

- Goodbye

This one... is very short, and just needs edited real quick.

- Celebration

Done editing this one. Very short. Needs rewritten.

- Sunrise

Done editing, short story. Needs rewritten.

- Dragon Harem

Will start this one on editing after the first three are rewritten.

- Fuchsschloss Prince

Can't edit this one yet. Need to finish some others, first.

- Time Begins Somewhere

This is a short (>3000 words) story that needs worked on. But... again it'll have to wait.

- Adelaide and Anton

This I may just keep as a happy thing for me.

Holy shit that's a lot, but I always have a lot on the go, because it lets me change things up and I'm never bored. Writing it out like this might have helped. It at least lets me see where everything is in progress. I'm not sure this is everything? I keep looking in my writing folder and finding new things to add to the list. /facepalm. Honestly, people are always surprised. I'm more surprised when people's harddrives/google drives aren't like this.
