"Nhi supposed she should at least give Bảo Duy credit for not wanting to put the other juniors in danger. Minor credit for that, major discredit for endangering the entire mission."
Hahhahaa juniors gotta junior.

"Hạc Cúc stood there, with no one to get angry at but herself--which was a terrible way to handle anything.
She did it, anyway."
Ah, my poor characters #amwriting

"The clans had moved on to sleeker things, but the empire much preferred to go for reliable and intimidating."
I mean, empires gotta empire

Revisions done, at least for this round. #projectSpaceJellyfish off to editor.
*collapses*

1st draft of #projectSpaceJellyfish done. Tomorrow, some light edits before sending it off to editor.

I always forget how fast I write once I get drafting. I wrote 10300 words over 5 days, out of which 9300 were written over the last 3 days.

(technically this is still a novella. Not by much but stil!)

"You never understood how it worked," Elder Liễu said. "The delicate balance of things; the compromises we are obliged to make."
"I do understand. A lot better than you think I do," Nhi said. "I just don't think it should come second to what's right."

Me: what is the absolute worst thing the character could say at this point in time?
#amwriting #projectSpaceJellyfish

Me belatedly realising a character last seen unconscious has completely disappeared from the narration. Whoops. #amwriting #projectSpaceJellyfish

Ok, stopping for today mostly because we've hit the climax and my ending doesn't make sense.
1500 words total. #amwriting #projectSpaceJellyfish

"Then let this be the lesson you never were able to hear from me. You worship the ground I tread on. You think me a living legend."
"Because you are!"
"I'm just a man."

"It was late and she was tired and she only had hurtful words left."

Update: they have kissed. The space jellyfish will now be taken care of.

Me to a friend: "First my two main characters are going to kiss, and then we'll deal with the space jellyfish." #amwriting #projectSpaceJellyfish #SFF #sciencefiction #spaceopera

"If being cowardly or having no principles was a criteria on which to assassinate people, Hạc Cúc would have killed half of humanity already." #projectSpaceJellyfish #amwriting #waytooearly #sciencefiction #spaceopera

My characters, doing a difficult technical thing and actually having spare equipment in case of failures. Proper safety procedures ftw. #amwriting #projectSpaceJellyfish #sciencefiction #spaceopera

This #spaceopera #sff #sciencefiction #scifi story is going well: everyone wants to murder everyone
I mean, ok, ok, it was supposed to be a #romance but I'm sure the two MCs will gradually thaw towards each other. #projectSpaceJellyfish #amwriting

Tonight I'm researching jellyfish and lemme tell you they are WEIRD
