Me writing Victorian gothic horror vs the grammar checker being confused by archaic sentence structure

Just finished the draft for a short story I'm REALLY happy with! It's a prequel to the novel I've been working on, so I'm excited to soon have something to show people that showcases these characters I love so much 😁

Found a cute picrew and thus was of course obligated to make ones of Eryn and Isabelle! Isabelle always ends up looking so pitiful when I do these 😅

Not wild about the whiplash of PRH adding a clause in their copyright that their books can't be used for AI scraping only for their parent company to sign a deal with OpenAI.

Had a very productive week overall and just completed this round of editing for chapter 5 (my favourite chapter) 🎉

Extremely fond of making picrews of my protag at the start of the novel vs the mid-point picrew.me/ja/image_mak...

Once again debating which of two characters is better thematically suited to be named Ariadne. This is at least the fifth time I've fussed over this.

I've been commenting to friends that I'm rewriting about 90% of what I had in my first draft while working on the second, and this paragraph I just did is a great example of what I mean. The top is the original paragraph, bottom is the edited version.

when you feel even the smallest spark of "i want to make something" or "i want to do something", do whatever it takes to hold onto that feeling, because it's so easy for your dreams to get swallowed up in the everyday struggle to survive

A friend just sent this picrew to me and I was immediately like "oh dang, I've gotta see my girls in this style" picrew.me/en/image_mak...

Genuinely amazed at how much more I'm adding in draft 2 of my novel. This chapter was 6.4k in my first draft.

‘A Gilded Chain is Still a Chain’ I made this in tribute to the medieval Unicorn Tapestries. In the final tapestry the unicorn is imprisoned under a pomegranate tree that is dripping. I imagined if she escaped, she would want to destroy the tree and its fruits! #unicorn #art #painting #embroidery

Honestly the hardest part of writing an original-world fantasy is realizing how many words you can't use. Like what do I say instead of July??

Coming up with location names for this novel like "how many times can I slip different versions of the word gold in before it becomes too obvious"

Me listening to my own playlist that I made for my novel: "Wow this song fits my characters so well???"

Writing a novel set in an original fantasy setting is just going "no I can't do that, it doesn't fit the magic system's rules" before remembering that you're the one who made those rules.
