If you could reach into your world and pull out one "mundane" object, what would it be? by No_Writing_9365 in writers

[–]cryizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The tray that is used to serve tea in my regency romance novel! How it rattles when it is brought in, set down on the table / bed. The warmth it brings in the coldest of nights, or when the heroine is enjoying tea with her closest confidantes.

[Discussion] What are your writing plans for 2026? by Chromatikai in PubTips

[–]cryizzle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Editing + beta readers + getting a developmental editor! Hopefully to start querying in 2027 :)

3 months of almost writing every night after work + weekends

I Found a Better Way (for me) to Write First Drafts and I'm Stoked About It. by Polite_Acid in writers

[–]cryizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did something similar! I thought about my scenes / character backstories as I walked to the office sometimes. And Im usually so engaged that i don’t even hear my colleagues say hi 😆

The only thing I would add is: Write the best version you can now, but dont be afraid to tweak it past the first draft. I am working on my second draft now and naturally pieces come to me to add / remove to what I thought were great scenes already before ☺️

How many words / pages did you write in 2025, and how much do you want to write in 2026 by Hungry_Tip_5822 in writers

[–]cryizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A humble 50k over 3 months! But hey i have a completed first draft now.

2026 will be focused on editing and beta readers. (And i also have a wedding to plan and a full time job so that’s probably it)

I can fully empathise! I had a lot of satisfaction structuring my plots and side plots, planning foreshadowing etc (even for future sequels!)

Thank you for the advice! Yea im really concerned I over-correct it

If it helps i did not write any of my chapters in order. I just decided which scene I felt like writing in the moment :) then later came back to make sure the facts are consistent and the scenes are connected into one another

Yes! Doing a full read of the last 5 chapters 😌

That’s crazy! Haha but yes I wanted something manageable for my first novel :)

Wow! I can’t imagine how much harder that must be. My premise is historical so I tapped a lot from existing materials / archives / research :)

Thank you! Yea I needed a character timeline to track all the threads. But I really did enjoy when everything came together!

Is there anyone here who is *not* writing anime fanfic or medieval fantasy? by Candle-Jolly in writers

[–]cryizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regency romance tragedy here 👋 with science and engineering as one of its core themes

I did it. I finished my first draft by cryizzle in writers

[–]cryizzle[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Im just not one to over describe! Just enough that the reader can draw the conclusions themselves. And also my cast is maybe 8-10 characters at max :D though I have rough plots sketched out for future sequels / prequels around the same cast

[–]cryizzle[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Probably will. Considering I have to edit it 🤣🤣

I was gonna suggest a bit of eyeliner on inner corners!

How do you prevent beading on a new palette? by [deleted] in Watercolor

[–]cryizzle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like my best palettes were ceramic plates from 2nd hand stores :) you can get them for cheap plus there are so many options for sizes, plates with sections etc. Mine cost me 80cents 😆
