Welcome to my spooky garden, gothlings!
I'll be spending most of my nights out here, with the night blooming Jasmine and that creepy looking shadow by the ferns.
I'll post updates on what I'm writing here!

Ok I'm about to start writing something. Very very unplanned... so it will be a surprise to me. I guarantee I will update this by tonight, or else.... or else.... it's to the dungeons for me I guess! But I will be back to tell you what story I've started and how many words! I promise! Edit: also I just realised in my signature I have a link to My WriteClub or whatever it's called. I'll update that too. (hmm we need to get spooky emojis somehow)

I’m right there with you! Getting any spooky words down is better than nothing. I can’t to see what you come up with this year!

Woot! So 1,338 so far. I will probably do some more writing tonight though.
I think I'm writing about some vampires that live underground. I've had this idea in the back of my head for awhile. So what I mean is, almost ALL the vampires have entire cities underground, and they live based on blood types. As in, all the B's live together, all the O's, etc. they have different kinds of cultures too. Of course there will be certain vampires who think that's dumb... but idk. I feel like in this world, if you're a vampire and you're B type, you can't drink from someone who's A, because it's not compatible.
B types are more modern and experimental, and they have a giant fake sun so they can play sports and go to shake shops and roam the city in the "daytime" haha. Idk it's just kind of silly... but will probably get more serious as I write because that's how I am I guess. There will be another group that is older, more ancient style, etc.
I also started out the story from the POV of this young woman who I think was just turned, like in modern day, but she doesn't realise it. I think it was a vampire that went rogue and might even live on the surface, idk. It's a mystery to me and to the character, and probably will remain a mystery to all, for awhile. But I'm excited to write about my underground vampires haha.

2,200 so far... but I will write more today for sure. I'm loving this strange idea of vampires living in a fake world. But I think the above ground girl who was just turned might have to join a coven of rogue vampires on the surface, but once she hears of underground worlds she will long for them.... which works, because my main character underground is starting to long for the surface...

That’s a really interesting premise! It sounds like a lot of fun to write, and I’d definitely read it.

I just found out I'm moving, so there was a lot of stress and such going along with all of that. I hope to update this tonight!!

So! This week I found a new place to live, but there was a ton of paperwork and stress and figuring everything out until I could sign everything and pay down payment and such. So! I've finally done most of that, but my writing has stalled a bit... I will not let that happen!! NO! This year I am finishing my creepy story and I am not giving up. Not one bit. So! Maybe I'll use all this inspiration for my writing. Now that the majority of stress is gone, I can begin to write. Hopefully will have a binge writing session tonight. Please someone hold me accountable Maybe the ghost Carmilla will hit me with her stick if I don't write. Maybe she will get all her ghost friends to haunt me incessantly with their annoying booing and howling until I write haha. Ok so I will update later tonight.

Aaahhh I'm getting stuck with my story! Probably because at this point it's not really a story. Just setting and some vague characters. I have to figure this out, or start with a better story idk.

I'm not going to give up! Nope. I will take my real life as inspiration, maybe include someone who is moving to a new place... lots of possibilities for that. As long as I don't scare myself when I move in and think everything is haunted. Also I wonder how nanowrimo will be.... I'll be right in the middle of moving. I can still do it. That makes it more of a challenge I guess!
