Grimalka by Emily Marie (me)

Legit got very little editing done today, but I did edit one of my favorite scenes, which consists of Calliope kicking Fallon where the sun don't shine and then Fallon subsequently rage-baiting her after she apologizes

Chapter Nine is honestly one of the hardest chapters to write due to how heavy it is. At least I get to edit Fallon and Calliope's first meeting after it, which is like a breath of fresh air after the absolute darkness of the previous chapter

Hello, angel of death.
This is not an angel of death that stares at me, dressed in pink finery. Yes, the title still holds true, but rather than masquerading as my true self, I hide my hideous truth under the guise of love and affection. Pink perfection masking the bloody, gruesome horrors beneath.

All right, who snuck into my google docs, cuz no way I wrote that

I'm going to try and average a chapter per day, and I have forty more chapters to edit, so, hypothetically, I should have it done a few weeks before Christmas

"I ship them so hard I'm giggling so much" I say like a crazy person like I didn't WRITE this couple that isn't a couple yet

The very specific scene that made me giggle is in comments if you're interested lol

YES I finally finished chapter 6! It only took me two weeks 🫩

You know you're exhausted when you write "thuddering in my chest" instead of "thudding in my chest" but you also wanted to write "thunder" in the next sentence so you wrote "thuder"

I need to go to bed (I say as I continue to edit)

I've had like five headaches already the editing is not editing it feels like I'm walking through tar...

They say a father is a daughter's first love, but Bryony never knew her father. All she had was Fallon. So her big brother was her first love. I love writing families

Just finished editing an execution scene and now I think I need to go touch grass...because that was a little dark

At least Grimalka is living up to its genre. I was afraid it wasn't dark enough to be considered "dark fantasy" but I think it fits the bill save for the fact that my mc isn't morally gray
