Daily Writing Check-in

The sweet deal are the workshops. Basically you get 2 rounds of feedback on your 1st chapter (character voice), 500 words summary, Blurb and Logline/pitch. It's worth a LOT, particulary on the 500 words. In my experience, 500 words abslutely have to be read by someone else to help only get the main story and take out everything that only a writer can understand.

If you get a mentorship, you get a beta-read from a popular writer, so that's worth even more to me, because I struggle with writing books that appeal to others.

Hey, grats! That's awesome to get someone go through your story for you

domisotto 2021-04-16 22:09:41 UTC #1217

Found these simple notes on self-editing, since that’s all I am doing atm.

I've gotten down 2k words today of the project I'm writing for Camp Nano. Btw, the new Scrivener is pretty good (they finally released version 3 for windows)

domisotto 2021-04-21 21:55:03 UTC #1221

Neato! I am always just using Google doc, but I know tons of people looove Scrivener!

I am still editing, but I had been poking into some experimental chapters, including the potential Tapas series.

Busy editing day! Went ahead and edited five chapters and started to write a new one. I've reached 1/3 the way done on my novel. The MC has offically just murdered her first person (of many), and it wasn't necessarily on purpose, but a strigoi gotta eat, y'know?

domisotto 2021-04-22 19:11:15 UTC #1223

Hope they don’t go killing everyone though

domisotto 2021-04-25 16:01:31 UTC #1224

I finished the editing run! So... just going to take a bit of a break, and work offline, while posting the updates for Raised by the Mafia...

Kindda a bit sad about deleting Lone Werewolf from here, but eh, it's for the best.

I'm a bit anxious since I have to go on hiatus soon and I haven't since the start of my novel... Just received a big boost in subs too, so I'm scared it'll kill my momentum. Then again, it's really necessary both to build a new backlog, for my mental health and because I'm entering a really busy uni period.

Take care of you.

I took a small break and ended up just uploading "recaps" instead of new chapters. went over some important info, some characters, etc.

Crusoe 2021-04-25 20:16:09 UTC #1227

That's a cool idea, there's not a lot of lore things in my story tho and if there are I usually add them in the description/author note of the chapter

domisotto 2021-04-25 22:15:21 UTC #1228

I am going to echos what @blackorchid said, take care!

Smol boi check in: wrote about 1k words before my inspo just yeeted itself out a window.

domisotto 2021-04-27 00:38:44 UTC #1230

It will be back. 1K is an awesome progress!

I have finished the edits on the Lone Werewolf on Watt, and now will be patiently awating the mentorship application to open (it's in early May.)

Nothing to report on the Tapas side atm.

EncryptedWriting 2021-04-28 03:06:24 UTC #1231

I have wrote 3800 words today, I have no words besides yay. Two chapters accomplished.

Crusoe 2021-04-28 05:14:41 UTC #1232

Wow good job! That's a lot

domisotto 2021-04-28 16:02:37 UTC #1233

Wonderful job! Two chapters are neat!

MeltingCORE 2021-04-30 01:27:30 UTC #1234

"Red Shift" ch.24 is ready to go for tomorrow! (Had to take a month break so it's nice to be back writing!)
