I mean, apart from @aegor-bamfsteel, who already read it and is an amazing person. I love second opinions.

First fight scene of the book. I’ve just finished it and my heart is pounding to match the protagonist’s!
All I can say is, my poor main character. I’m torturing him and he’s acting out in turn.
Also, what a fucking RUSH!
Holy shit, I wrote 909 words of book today.
Which means…
I HAVE ALMOST 10,000 WORDS OF BOOK! YEAH, BABY!
6200 words of book.
I’m…I dunno, 5% of the way there? 😀

Chapter Three is finally up! Featuring Thorin in the bath. 😉
Thank you so much to @tea-blitz for the beta!
Summary: Bilbo gets a surprise the day after Yule, when he comes face-to-face with the Dwarvish idea of productivity.

WHY
WHYYYYYY can I not write anything except people standing around talking. Why.
Well, at least I’m writing again. Got 400 words or so.
Reblog if you write fanfic and would be totally down with your followers coming into you askbox and talking to you about your fic
AL-FUCKING-WAYS
I sometimes get messages about my fics and see other authors get messages like “oh my god im sorry to bother you but-” or apologizing profusely for sending multiple asks.
I promise you guys. Absolutely 0 writers are bothered by you talking to them about their fics. If you want to know a detail or are confused about something they are almost definitely sitting ready with an answer that they are excited to talk about.
Don’t feel like you HAVE to message writers (tho if you liked a fic a lot leaving comments is great encouragement) but never apologize for asking about fics or talking about them!
Pleasant surprise
I looked in the Seven Nights, Seven Days document and found that I’d written nearly 3700 words of Chapter 3 before I stopped working on it months ago. Yay!
I managed to write a few hundred words of book a few weeks ago.
If anyone trustworthy wants to read ‘em, you can.

Or, the Queeshmael/Moana crossover fic that I definitely wanted.
Summary:
Maui was flooded with relief when he saw the man paddling, or rather trying and failing to paddle.
(A thousand-year-old friendship brings a demigod out to save a harpooneer, and one less canonical death results.)
Or, Queequeg is a descendant of Moana a thousand years down the line, and Maui keeps his promises.
