Update: chipping away on my end. Managed roughly 1k yesterday, which I was quite pleased about. Unfortunately, I've been trying to kill a character for about 3 chapters and they keep bloody wriggling their way out of it! Declaring my author...

A few more today, thinking hard about junking one. More work than before, but not impossible.

I am happy to report that I have (mostly, still a bit or pantsing room) sorted out the plan for the next 3 chapters. And then wrote one of them. I have to thank a friend of mine for doing a zoom write-in on the weekend. Four of us sat...

Well, apparently the expression is Tough Sledding. During the 19th century, when roads were often impassable due to snow and ice, people would use sleds to transport goods across long distances. This was particularly common in rural areas where...

Three more, and they're needing more attention. after three more chapters, i think it's heavy sledding. Hmmm, origination of that term? Heavy sledding?

Couple more chapters edited. I'm almost halfway through now.

Yeah, but you got other shit done. All that website malarkey can't be easy.

Let's see, annoyed, lethargic, bummed... I think you almost nailed my reaction trail, though you skipped the always helpful yelling at the words on the screen phase. In my experience, euphoria comes a while after publication, when you can read...

@Sedayne - thanks. I'm glad you have an escape from your real life where you can take risks without actual consequences, other than a bit of writerly temporary frustration. ha! TBH this whole book is one big risk. haha. I did the push on through...

Two more chapters Okay, i know I have a five chapter fight coming, but I think it's working well, the character arcs are working and I think the plot is working. See Lyse, this is the stage right before the collapse, of confidence, or the will to...

I did a big fat zero yesterday :(

Alas no writing yesterday. I spent my writing time doing my author tax :rolleyes: On the bright side it's done, and hopefully the return will help pay for my next cover :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:

The novel edit is going well. I had a mild panic earlier, when I actually added words for a couple of chapters...but it looks like I'll overshoot my target. I'm also having random thoughts about the short stories as I edit the novel that...

I'm blasting through the rewrite and have done five chapters over the last three days. Two of them are very short, however. There will be more than my goal of sixteen chapters before the end. I had sixteen already done before LoMoWriMo so the...

So today was meh - although a slightly better meh. I got in 825 words before midnight struck. I had to duck coz it was swinging for me. Young Bakana had a very bad day. I finished the scene were she gets her charts mixed up with another...
