Only managed to do 4 scene settings today, unfortunately they put two of my characters way beyond where I wanted them to be in general ability to cope.

Won't be writing much for the next week - sheared thumb tendon.

I managed to finish my first 10 page short story set in my fantasy universe. I finished it for a writing class and we're supposed to be submitting it for publication on Monday. Wish me luck!

Been gone a while but I decided to come back and see what is happening and post a link to some very interesting Endeavor pictures.

Anyway, I don't mean this in a bad way but is your pic there a puppy dog or a Fuzzy?

Haven't been here much:posted a link to where a very short story of mine was published and something else I can't recall right now.

But I've been writing. Just finished a 3800 and some word story and a 5,350 word story both started two weeks ago.

Had to get a story revised three or five times for a contest and sent in that one and another story to another contest--that last one didn't place.

Got one of my novels sent off to some Beta readers. They are taking their time though.

Since I was last here I probably finished more than a dozen stories, some hand written.

See some new faces and some old ones...glad you oldees are still working on the craft.

Made it to 175k today.  Dominoes are falling into place.  Hope to reach 200k by the end of the year and finish the book soon thereafter.

Deep in crits for upcoming workshop...  I should be writing. I should limit my time doing these. Ah well. I'm learning more reading their pages than writing my own. Isn't that amazing?

I really thought I'd do the thing I am supposed to be doing tonight, but instead, through pass on three chapters of TIWTBWO, which have become 2 chapters, and left me with a fully revised (for this time) 27kwords of it.  And it looks like next weekend I will again not get to write because transatlantic family visiting.

Mildly OCD. Please do not troll.

kittensgame, Sandcastle Builder, Homestuck, Welcome to Night Vale, Civ III, lots of print genre SF, and old-school SATT gaming if I had the time.  Also Pandemic Legacy is the best game ever.

*creaking open eye lids* Workshop completed. Nice feedback, but now I'm over loaded with three projects. My 6AM to 8AM writing routine will buckle. I've got to bring this down to a managable level. Time management, Meg. Time management. Prioritize...  *sigh*
