The I'm Writing Thread.... Celebrate your pages written etc Part II.
Paynesgrey:
No new writing this weekend. Been incorporating the edits I've gotten back from the Red Pen Devil Monkeys of Doom Brigade.
Valorous Daughter is now finished... and it is with a tremulous, tremblesome and twitching hand that I begin to draft the cover letter...
The Deposed King:
Congrats PG. Way to go. Take a big deep breath and pause a moment to appreciate all you have done.
NOW
Get ready to dive right back into it! Either new writing or re-edit/submissions!

Paynesgrey:
Going back to work on Stormjammer this week. Nice thing about the novella... it's all backstory for the same world, and it spawned two new characters for the main book, as well as gave me some development direction for a couple of existing ones. I'm pretty damn pleased with my decision to limit any side projects (like the submission call Breath of Scheherazade is for) to the same storyverse. Means I don't have to miss out on targets of opportunity while ensuring that I'm still working in some way or another on the main book.

That's a great way to go to keep your head in the game but give the subconscious time to grind away on the main line stuff. Its sort of a mental fertilizer. Lets you get some of that creative angst from bearing down on only one project, out of the way, while at the same time enriching your world and keeping you productive.

no new writing unless you count the history essays for school that are normally 500-700+ words each
I do about 2-4 a week
so no fun writing for me
