One week onto October and never too late to write some monthly goals!

I really want to finish and publish a new NSFW one-shot. It's part of a series called For The Freedom to Love. I was writing the novel years ago but as usual gave up on the third chapter so now I'm writing about their spicy sexy life that's just as dramatic as their regular life, haha.

The draft for the one-shot is basically done. Not as spicy as I wanted it but it's has a surprising amount of character exposition I hadn't planned.

Need to send the draft to my Desktop Obsidian vault for another round of edits and revisions before posting it on AO3 and website.

It's been a GOOD while since I wrote anything for this series (and NSFW for that matter) so I'm pretty excited to get this fic out there! I love these characters to bits and writing about them brings so much joy to my life.

Not sure why this post is so long but I think that's all I should commit to getting out this month. Commitment is scary but I have my hands in a lot of pies so I wanted to write about them.

If you read till the end, thanks!

Unearthed some old fics from the pandemic era. I thought I had converted them into a markdown format when I exported my Evermore content but guess I hadn't.

They are pretty dear to my heart because they're my first attempt at original fiction and tackling new adult. My former OCs had grown up and become their own characters outside their initial narrative.

Gonna edit and trim them a bit as they were on a Discord chat. Mostly fix grammatical mistakes. I really want to keep the initial feel of them.

Not sure if I'm going to post them individually or as a collection 🤔. No ideas for names either. Their current ones are really lame like "Love Triangle, Really?" or "Post-Valentine Day Double Date RP" 🤣.

The fics DID have a potential title! Gonna compile them as "Couple Intimacy 101."

Decided to lean into the joke and named each chapter Lesson # [Chapter Title]. Because they're in college, get it?  

I'll see myself out.

Been procrastinating on Couple Intimacy 101 but finally finished editing all chapters!

Also renamed most of them. I'm quite pleased with the results.

Will finish uploading the rest tomorrow. Had to reupload each fic into a new work and added a bunch of notes at the beginning of each chapter.
