Daily Writing Check-in

[domisotto]

Heh, that’s going to be me soon, we’ll be writing a huge report at work soon, with stiff deadlines etc. Hopefully after Christmas, not over it. We’ll see.

[domisotto]

I'm slowly inching closer to my first big milestone, the ball/gala-thing ( I should really look this up), and I am metaphorically about to dump a bucket of drama on these poor characters. I'm so excited.

Oh, that does sound like fun!

[blackorchid]

I'm super excited to write it. I've been planning out all the 'fun' stuff that's gonna happen. Even had my friend scheme a card con for me, since they know more about it than I do. It'll be months, I think, before the readers are there, but still, so damn excited.

I want to commission some art of the chapters and possibly some music. scheming is I

[domisotto]

Nice! It sounds like a big unfolding intrigue at that shindig

[domisotto]

So, we ended up working today anyway, so yeah... not sure if I will have time to write, because also the athletic event I was following went down today, and there were some highs and some lows. Some real lows... but if those young people can absorb their loses with a smile, I sure can take it too, lol. And keep writing. Because I am stubborn!

[Crusoe]

Bad days happen... Hopefully you'll be able to soften the blows somehow.

[domisotto]

Yeah... it’s a write off. I just didn’t have time, and I am tired

Gonna tie it off on 56.6K and hope for the better flow tomorrow!

I just wanted to take a moment and say how happy I am to have clicked on this thread.

I hope your pen and pencil in never out and always sharp, your keyboard always responsive, and the chattering mess of your characters in your mind ever talkative. <3

( high there hope this is open for a few more. if not ill delete my post if you like)I've made it past the first season of my first novel series and working on season 2. Season one is precisely 131,971 words and season 2 has already passed its first big milestone of 50,000 words in less than half the time of book one and honestly, I'm really excited for once season 2 is ready to air and people have finished reading all of season 1. (Season 1 finished premiering prematurely due to inkgiving as a reward for my supporters.)

[domisotto]

Everyone is totally welcome! And that some serious series. Grats on moving on season 2.

@blackorchid

Gad to hear that

[Undertaildoof34]

Thanks, I've been working on the same series for six years now. So it's great to know it's not for nothing. So in this forum do we just post our progress on our stories? Just checking before i start talking to people like a maniac. I really like talking to other creators.

[domisotto]

Yeah, just somewhere to come with daily thoughts and progress, cheer up others or celebrate wins... you know. So not to live and write in a vacuum.

[Undertaildoof34]

Yeah, the vacuum is agonizing today on my checklist is what I've been super excited to get to It's this sense where the main character's best friend gets captured by the enemy and they have to figure out how to continue in the war without their friend. Because war stops for no one and gets them back from behind enemy lines. But once they get behind the enemy lines and try to find their friend they only find this dark knight warrior (who is actually their friend under enemy control spells) and the main villain.

[domisotto]

Sounds like a fun bit of adventure to write.

[WolfUnderTheMoon89]

Haven't written in a week and I feel bad about that xD

[Crusoe]

Well, haven't written or edited for my story this week, but I finished up all of my portfolio questions for a course and that ended up at 2.6k words, so I guess I have been writing.

[domisotto]

I took a day off yesterday to decompress. It’s hard time at work atm, and I am just exhausted... plus, the competition ended, so I had to watch the gala and talk to mom and absorb everything that had happened and calm my fangirl vibes.

My goal today is to prep a chapter for posting for Werewolf story and try to fall back into my flow.

Doing my reading for now & working.

[domisotto]

Yup! Real life must always come first. Fingers crossed on your portfolio being a success

[cherrystark]

I haven't made much progress on either of my series. Just making sure to take a step back and write what comes naturally. Especially with all the headache of COVID and the upcoming holidays.

[lorddevin2]

I'm currently at 67 episodes and 100k words. I am releasing 5 episodes a week and try to keep my minimum at 1k words per episode. Some days it is hard to write but I try to keep 10 episodes ahead of what is released so I have a 2 week buffer to account for random issues. Sometimes the pressure I put myself under gets a little severe but since this is my first attempt at being an author I want to make sure to put in enough work that it has a chance of succeeding. Keeping ahead of what is releasing does afford me the ability to take a day off when I need it or when I have to work a double at my job, so if you can manage to get ahead and stay there I do recommend it.
