wlarson

Brand new author wannabe. I have written on and off for years with about 20 wip. I hope to get a trilogy published as a YA portal fantasy. My goal is to get the first of these finished and published this year, with the next two following in the first half of next year.

Our protagonist (before today's writing) had found herself in another world and had been taken in by some sort of matriarchal warrior tribe.

Today's writing covered her being brought to the clan's leader, getting drugged, and beginning an arena fight to see if she will survive and join them, or if she is wasting their time. The story got dark.

Spent yesterday visiting family (with a short editing session before and after on my last book.) Today was also mostly editing (this and the other book), but I got in some new words!

Spent much of my time editing the last book...and still not feeling so well.

Tough to focus, but 2 hours editing a different story and an hour here...

β€œI TOTALLY get the split time of editing and writing. I have a due date of tomorrow for my beta readers. Whew! Eight more chapters to go. Nice job!” – MelissaCook

Having a bit of trouble getting the story written, as finding exactly the right words is a struggle. I am loving the results though.

I had a lot of issues submitting these words. I had to correct several times.

Anyway, the character is doing interesting things as this book gets going. It is fun writing him.

wrong project - edited to zero words to fix.

Mothers day. I spent most of the day with my wife and boys, cooking for her. It was a delightful day, but I found some time to write anyway. This book is surprising me. It is a lot darker than I knew when I started, and we are just in the second chapter!

I focused most of my time on this book (currently titled '2'), so I will need to catch up next weekend on the other.

I plan to ask my (precious but ridiculously tiny) newsletter for thoughts on which one I will focus and get done first. This month, the plan is 'back and forth and both' until there is a plan forward. I am actually enjoying the back and forth, and have not yet any issues being confused, but I do not think that will last.

β€œWell-done! Taking care of your wife & family as well as your writing!” – meganwargula
β€œjust checking in to see how it's going!” – Rachael
