I gotta use it as an onomatopoeia from now on

You’re gonna what? How is that even…oh, yeah, you’re Cathy, it’s totally possible.

SEE THAT’S WHAT I KEEP TELLING HER COZ I’M LIKE ‘IN MY TIMEZONE THE SUN’S STILL UP BUT I KNOW IT’S WAY PAST YOUR BEDTIME IN YOUR TIMEZONE WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON PINTEREST TALKING TO ME THIS LATE IN THE DAY!!!!!!!

Nine thirty isn’t that bad at all, but treating Rose like a naughty girl who stays up past her bedtime is fun, so let’s keep it up anyway. 😉

Oh btw, did you ever decide to actually use your Pinterest account or is it just wasting away because you were too lazy to delete it?

It’s just wasting away in awful misery. 🙂

Hey now Emily, I am a proper gent, I never shout. 🙃

Hmmm, I know I said that and I do want to warn you that my personal philosophy on internal conflict is “You’re reading this for the characters, so I’m assuming you want to know about them so strap in and here we go on a paragraphs long internal struggle where I also accidentally vent about any philosophical issue that has interested me lately! Hope you enjoy the drama!”

Depending on how far it is taken and how relevant it is, I also enjoy it. TTD could definitely use more of that (at least in proportion to the amount of fighting).

Ha, I wouldn’t stop even if you wanted me to so it’s wise of you to resign to it XD

Oh, don’t worry, I am fully aware of that fact. 🙂

So, uh, about that. Remember I said I couldn’t write 6k in a day so I wouldn’t hit 30k? Ummm, I might have written all day and gotten to 30k anyway XD

Good for you! It seems I now have a new goal: get 31k in a week. xD

So, yeah, most productive writing day ever so far, 5755 words in like four and a half hours. (I was going slowly for much of it cause I really am tired. Don’t try this at home, folks. Take it from me, bad idea, even though it’s  very satisfiying. It’s basically a novel speedrun!)

Alright then, I’m not totally beat. My record is a little over 6700 words in one day.

And my team won in every category so it paid off!

Congrats!

Beta reading isn’t meant to decide whether your writing is good or not, it’s to show you where you have to keep working on it

Yep, that’s why I find them so invaluable to get as early as possible.

Ahaha, don’t young lady me, sir. It wasn’t even that late! It was like… 9:30 pm

I knew that (a quick google search showed as much), but I was in no means going to let that stop me from teasing.

Oohh, I had one more kinda exciting thing to tell you! Remember the dress Delphine wears in the earlier part of the book? The forest green one with ivy embroidery? Well, the exact moment I read it my first reaction was “Oh, I wanna wear that.” So when I found the most perfect green viscose/linen fabric and was trying to decide whether to make a dress or a skirt, I remembered that dress so I’m kinda making a modern interpretation of it I guess? The pattern isn’t accurate and it isn’t really historical but I’m absolutely taking inspiration from that dress. (I have no idea how I’m going to do the embroidery but I’m looking forward to it!)

Wow. That is…not what I expected to read. I have a new story to tell. 🤣 I’m inspiring gown creation. Good for me.

Tell me how it goes, and send me a pic of it when you’ve finished. My sister once owned a similar dress that I really liked, and it sorta inspired that description.

Also, it will have pockets. That’s important to mention.

Pockets are positively required.
