Last year was a bust in the writing realm, but I'm starting to feel more like myself.

Choosing one idea to work on was hard, but I'm going with #HostageSituation (book 1 of the Hostage Agreement duology).

Think Hunger Games meets V For Vendetta with super powers

It’s been sitting half finished for years now. Time to brush it off and finish it.

My #FirstDraftFall is an item from my dreamboard to write a hi-lo YA romance novella with an autistic queer teen who falls for a nonbinary teen with “Highlander hair.” My protagonist’s keen interests are looking up words and sending memes. The working title is What You Meme to Me.

#FirstDraftFall

I decided to use this as a chance to go back to working on my novel Rebellious Flame, that's about a girl who gets trapped in a foreign country and tries to survive as an outcast whilst also uncovering many secrets.

I decided to work on it again because it means a lot to me-

#FirstDraftFall is here! Time to start fleshing out the characters and school for Akseli! I'm deep in the sauce drafting something else, but I want to be READY to attack this in Nov. What's everyone working on for the next three months? I'm trying to finish 2 drafts! Tell me about yours! #WriteSky

Yesterday, I finally got my flow back for the project of my soul. I wrote 7517 words. Fuck. I thought I'd come home from a writefest at @thetomatowriter.bsky.social's place and CRASH, but I'm still going. #FirstDraftFall begins! I'll be dividing energy between worldbuilding and drafting. #WriteSky

Happy #FirstDraftFall !! 🍁🍂🌾

@jordanthayer.comOct 1, 2026, 4:24 AM

Is #firstdraftfall truly a thing? I seem to start my books around now, probably an old holdover from... that previous event.

Anyway, maybe I cheated by starting a day or two early but honestly, it's felt very fall in Sweden for the last month.

30) This month, I've written 13,100 words. I've read two books. But things are kicking up a notch starting tomorrow bc it's time for #FirstDraftFall! #FantasyIndiesSeptember

@elizmanderson.comOct 1, 2026, 1:21 AM

the urge to do this for "vegetarian" vampire novella BUT I'LL BE GOOD & do it for MarthaWIP since that's what I'm hopefully working on for #FirstDraftFall

anyway a grumpy old ace lesbian with undx'd autism gets even grumpier when her eldritch ex shows up amidst a flurry of hauntings

since finishing the "vegetarian" vampire novella, it's been like a weird haze of read through/minorly edit MarthaWIP in preparation for #FirstDraftFall, draft more of an unfinished witch/doe story bc it needs done by December, and revisit (and edit??) various other unfinished short stories

@elizmanderson.comSep 29, 2026, 12:52 AM

okay let's get me hype for MarthaWIP and #FirstDraftFall

anyway Martha thinks she's a bad daughter and was a worse wife (she's divorced now) and that she's generally terrible and doesn't do anyone any good except with her ghostspeaking (but she also won't use her powers anymore)

@alliecampbell.bsky.socialSep 28, 2026, 9:32 PM

October starts #FirstDraftFall so I'm going to be fleshing out the student body, faculty, and school itself for Akseli and the School for Crafty Magicis. Also going to be getting into the habit of drawing daily. I'll be starting these too.
