Writing Again

It feels really good to be writing again. Even though I don't have a serious project (which feels really weird) and nothing written for the things I'm posting (sorry WT/ASD fans. I'll get to it). I feel really good just writing again. It really is nice to relieve my stress.

As of now, I've written a one-shot for a book that will soon be a collection of them based off this song

Which is literally my fave song ever. So good. Press play (you won't regret it).

Then I've made some progress on DHTP. I'm really excited to get into this story. I sort of want to use it for June Nano except I'm taking the ACT in June and then I have Girl's State a few days after that so I literally can't. Unless I can somehow manage writing 50k words in literally 10 days. Which would be an interesting challenge. (I might do it).  

I've thought of making my own Nano. Like a personal one for myself. Not in May because I need to study and not in August bc school starts so I think I might do one in July. Although I'd have to be done before July 28, and since it's also Ramadan I have a short story that I've been planning on writing during Ramadan so there's that. (There is literally no month that works for me. Although I may do December just because if I do full time college next semester, I'll have like a month long break). Then I'd post stats/info in my "ForeverMalak Project" tab and I'll blog about progress and things like that. And then maybe I can get people to join me to do it with me? 


Currently, I'm writing my failed nano from earlier this year. I think I wasn't excited enough for the story, in addition to being too busy. But now I'm starting to feel it lowkey. So I'll be writing it slowly I'm sure, but at least I'll be writing.

 I do need to focus on one single project. And start being serious, but I have SO many ideas and honestly, I'm just happy to be writing honestly. I'm always so busy and tired and I always have 70000 ideas that I never sit down and write and that's literally the hardest part of being a writer.

So basically, right now I'm reading When It Rains, then I'll read some AP Euro, and then I will write hopefully another chapter of ASD (hopefully) and then I'll do some Chem  and then I'll read through WT and see if I have ideas of where the story needs to progress. 

So that's my plan for the day. I'm just happy to write again.

My goal is to finish ASD within the next two weeks. The chapters are relatively short and I at least want to finish it before school is done. Despite finals and AP testing and the ACT all of which I should study for. Maybe this will become a thing where I study and on my breaks I'll give myself like half an hour to write and that will be like a "word sprint" type deal. I just want to start writing again. 

Okay so if you're reading this thinking about the third book of BA, I understand and thank you for your enthusiasm. However, I will not be writing it for a long time. Maybe not until the summer before college, or I don't know. 

Point is, I have a busy life. I won't bail on the book. But I'm too busy and have seven thousand other books I really want to write. When the ideas come for the third book, and I'm feeling it, I'll write. You just have to be patient. I also want to write it all before I post so.


And I need to start entering writing contests and getting my work out there so I can get proper feedback and measure where I am. My writing isn't all that great and I just want to make it better. But I can't do that without writing. 

Okay, adios.
