I just finished the next chapter of my web serial fantasy story. I've jumped from 2,500-3,000 words per chapter to just over 5,000 words in this one! Apparently I got into it a bit more!

Do you ever just have that random writing epiphany? Yesterday whilst carrying out some maintenance in work, in a cage atop a noisy machine, a thread came into my mind, I pulled at it, and concocted a grand history for my fantasy series that kept going. I had to jot bits down on a notepad!

Today's choice of music is "The Warning" because god damn they're good.

Do you listen to music when you write? If so, what do you listen to?

I think its time for a Monday #writerslift and some #selfmotivation! I'll start.

I write sci fi and fantasy stories. I'm working on a full length fantasy novel, and also an episodic fantasy adventure called "Fairling's Crossing", posting chapters on my Patreon.

How my mood changed within seconds this morning:
"Oh! I have a subscriber to my Substack!" 😆😁
"Oh... it's myself." 😐
January 27, 2025 at 10:44 AM
I've made a start on using Substack. Let's see how that goes! I'll use it in conjunction with my Patreon to see if either of them gain traction!

Grand Opening
I started a Substack some time ago, and never actually got around to using it, as I didn’t know what it really was, or how to use it!

I have noticed that in the past few months I have frowned more and more with my right brow. Only my right brow... to the point I can feel the muscle doing it regularly. Is this a thing that just happens?!

#writers of Bluesky, how did you build your base of readers? Particularly Indie writers, what services/platforms did you use to build engagements and get people looking at your work? Asking for a friend...

I have begun a new adventure... an episodic high fantasy story of Tobias Fairling, who is thrust into an adventure he had no desire or choice to undertake. All he wants to do is go home... regular episodes/chapters to be posted on Patreon!

I'm probably at my most productive for many years at the moment, I have been writing so much it's almost scary!

I finished my first draft of The Pillars of Creation, and am already diving deep into the second story. It feels great! How's your writing going?

I finished my first draft of "The Pillars of Creation, Part 1: The Orcish Mage"!

30,000+ words in the bag, ready to do my first round of proofing, editing! Hooray! I'm excited, and also scared haha.

Less than a week until Christmas... less than two weeks until 2025! Did you reach all your writing goals for 2024? What are your writing goals for 2025?

Alrighty... it's time to write again! I've had a few days off as I've actually had to work 😂 and it's getting busy with family things around Christmas! But I'm still aiming to complete my first draft by the end of the year!!
December 18, 2024 at 10:36 AM
Update on my #WIP: I managed another 1,300 words yesterday, so I'm well on course to hit my 30,000 mark on 31 December! 105 words a day will see me there. Then it'll be a case of skimming back through to clean things up, and draft 1 will be complete! #writingcommunity #writerslift
December 12, 2024 at 12:05 PM
My writing target for the remainder of this year is to hit 30,000 words for my Tales of Ifanna story, and to clean it up, straighten it out, and conclude my first draft! I'm about 2,000 words off that target... nearly there! Are you hitting your writing targets? #writingcommunity #writers
