Okay, I've skipped Day 3 for now because I got stuck. The flow feels wrong, and I've been staring at it for two days that I can't look at it objectively anymore.

Not wanting to fall behind even further, I went ahead with Day 4: Anxiety, a topic near and too dear, and something I enjoy trying to capture the essence of in writing.

This was fun to write and it came so easily. I don't know if it's any good, but I like it. :)

Prompt: Anxiety
Word Count: 585

( Day 4: Anxiety )

It's been about 3 years since I've touched this fandom, which means it's been 3 years too many! My goodness, it was like jumping into a vat of pure happiness when I read my first fic in so long. Honestly, it felt like coming home, which is weird to say about fanfiction, but there it is.

Anyways, I remember doing LDWS in 2015 and how much the constraints within the prompts forced me to improve my writing pretty quickly. It's April now, and one of my favorite Youtubers has started the writer's version of Inktober called Escapril. It's actually meant for poetry, but really I think the end goal is just to inspire creativity and build community. The full prompt list is here.

So my brain, which has been thinking of literally nothing but Drarry all day, decided to use the Escapril prompts along with a randomly generated word count to kick my writing back into gear!

And so, here is my entry for Day 1. ♥

Prompt: A fresh start
Word Count: no more than 399
Rating: G
Warnings: none

( Day 1: a fresh start )
 

A few weeks ago I participated in Round 7 of slythindor100's Last Drabble Writer Standing competition and unexpectedly made it all the way to week 6 of 8! So that was pretty cool. :) The prompts were all Dumbledore quotes, which was equally fun and intimidating.

The LDWS is also the first time I've ever written a drabble, so to say it was a learning experience is a slight understatement.

( I learned a lot of stuff... )

And here is what I wrote:

( Week 1 )

( Week 2 )

( Week 3 )

( Week 4 )

( Week 5 )

( Week 6 )

Week 7

I was eliminated during week 6, however I really loved the prompt for week 7 so I wrote it anyways and posted it after the competition was over.

The prompt for week 7 was: "It is our choices that show us who we truly are, far more than our abilities." 145 words exactly.

Title: A New Leaf
Rating: G
Warnings: None
Word Count: 145

( Hop over to Slythindor100 to read it )

Week 2 and week 5 were probably my favorites to write. But overall, it was a super fun experience! ♥
 

OMG YOU GUYS

I basically had a heart attack last night because I thought both HP Drizzle and HDOTP Ever After were due in August.

I thought I was going to have to write 60k words in one month. //dies

And so I panicked (evidence of which is plastered across my twitter), and literally made a schedule with highlighters and everything where every free day in July consisted solely of writing like 4k words a day.

EVER AFTER ISN'T DUE TIL NOVEMBER THANK THE HEAVENS.

//cries with relief
 

This journal will be used for all things related to writing, most especially my OTP Harry/Draco.

(Mostly I just haven't written anything in years and need to get back in practice!)
