Despite working 40-47 hour weeks, in the past 38 days I managed to write about 12k words across 4 stories.
I hope to keep this momentum steady, but it will of course depend on the kinds of stuff I produce. Not all stories will be between 1 and 5k words. I do have plans for some larger ones, and of course, it will depend on the story itself as I build it up. But generally I think this look like a pretty decent baseline to go with. I've been very busy with lots of things in life. I doubt I could increase writing activity unless I wasn't working.
Not working a job would free up 40 more hours. Which could potentially become more writing. That's almost 2 more full days per week. 8 days a month more for creating that I don't get because I have to work to live. But again, very happy with personal momentum and glad to see that I am getting a little support here and there. I am growth minded and am only beginning. I am my only support so anything that's a help is appreciated. Advice, sharing, anything.
Plans for the future are to build up a couple more short pieces, while working on one bigger piece I have in mind. The one project I have my eye on is about a tortoise librarian:
A 160 year old tortoise librarian quests to restore the knowledge lost after her library burned down during a war. (Inspired by the fact that tortoises live such crazy long lives. So I figured, imagine what history they can store and what they've experienced.) I'm looking forward to this one. But along the way I will be carving out some shorter works in my Little Moments series. There are very short slice of life pieces..
If you've read my very first Little Moments story, subtitled massage, you've met Harvey and Eilows. These are two characters from a much bigger work that I have on hold for a future novel. It is centered in Amra, Famica. No idea when I will even touch that, but I do want to at some point work my way to it. But that is way far back on the horizon.
Thank you for reading and stopping by. I have so much I want to share with you.
