This makes me so fucking happy! Good for you. Keep writing. Keep making pages. Let me know if you need to chat or motivate or anything. This is awesome. You're awesome. So proud of you. So happy for you.

Exactly 20 words per post (before this one).

I rounded for inaccuracies because it was an appropriate guesstimate.

That probably also includes words I've quoted, though.

What did you write?

Edit: Also, doesn't 31/366 look like January didnt do anything to the year?

Mine isn't the best voice to tackle social justice. Let other, more qualified and interesting voices take that up.

feels good to see this kind of self-examination on the board, I thank you

Working on a new novel, an idea that I've been kicking around for a looooong time. Not going in sequence, and using lots of time to sketch out ideas, outline, brainstorm, organize. I have something like 28,000 words so far in just over a month, would be happy if 5000 are usable.

Yeah, there's so much time left in the year, it's ridiculous. Still not even 1/10 of the way in.

Since the Chinese are on holiday or dying from the plague, I decided to take one more pass on book three. It turns out it really needed it, but I think I'm happy with it now.

Oh God is my copy of book 3 going to give me Kung flu?

Still going strong! Now at 54 days, put another way:
I'm actually going to refocus a bit and think about turning one "chapter" I've been working on into a short story, sort of like a proof-of-concept for the whole thing. Might share that. Submit it somewhere. idk.
