#writerCheckIn
Working on a totally new draft for a romance novel I scrapped last year; contributing tidbits to 2 other vague outlines/synopses. Learning a lot about editing this month.

Not partaking in any events this month though :)

Welcome to February's #WriterCheckIn!
(1st Sun every month, on Bsky & Mastodon.)

Updating the prompt image to account for a certain shitstorm:

1. How are you?

2. Are you setting & working towards Feb writerly goals, doing what you can when you can, or taking a break?

Gonna start posting #WriterCheckIn weekly to see what fellow #writers & #authors are up to & for shared accountability

Week day writers, how's your week been? Next week's goals?
Weekend writers, what are your goals?

(NB: Selfcare counts! Not just writerly/authorly/bookish productivity!) #AusWrites

Ah yes, its #WriterCheckIn time. Writers, how goes the week? Authors, how fare the bookish pursuits?

And what are your goals for the weekend? (including selfcare which covers all manner of not writing 😉)

Mine: edit 2 epic fantasy chapters, delete my Twitter, go for a nature walk, rest & watch SFF.

Almost forgot to mention, #Writers, I'm doing a #WriterCheckIn for the first Sunday of the month starting at 10.30 AEST (6.30am EST), until whenever (hours, a week, etc 😉).

Its 'writer' checkin, not 'writing' check in, so wellbeing checks totally welcome! Hope to see you then!

I am fully focused on my big "grimdark-to-cozy" series. I'm almost done with Memories of the Good Thyme Inn. Hoping I can finish the first (rough) draft this month.

I am doing my own worldbuilder prompt game+WIPSnips and Velora's snippet shares this month. Taking it easy this time😎

Hello there #writerCheckIn

Today has been worse than most recent ones. More of "the shitshow" leaked through my defences and I’ve been stewing in that all day.

In feb I’m working towards finishing my current writing WIP draft and taking part in #Critpit and #Questpit

I suppose #WriterCheckIn isn't an official, regular writer hashtag without a graphic?

So I'd better paste this here this time, and will post it with the q's next week 😉

#writercheckin How are those WIPs coming along? In the midst of major edits myself. #fantasywriter #blacksky #blackwriter #writerslife #writingcommunity

I'm still focusing on my MG fantasy horror Familiar Territory, about a group of Familiars who must embark on a journey to save their witch from the Witchfinders. Really hoping to have it finished and hopefully with some betas by end of the month! 🤞🏻

#WriterCheckIn: Writers & Authors, how did this week go?
How is our motivation for weekend work/ rest/ play? Goals & plans?

Mine: REST (my body is confiscating spoons after a big week 😉).
Enjoy the sunshine/ walk.
Begin character cut down edits of overcrowded wip scenes.
October 27, 2023 at 7:46 AM
Shit, now I have to decide what I want to do this month #WriterCheckIn 😆!

Wip: Walking the Knife's Edge
Goals: merge its too many minor characters & find beta readers.

Book: Ruarnon Trilogy 2 & 3
Goal: fight paperback formatting till I win dammit!

Bonus: investigate promoting wide (non-Zon)

1. I have ups and downs. One day, I'll be super happy and productive, then the next I'm singing a certain line from Bohemian Rhapsody. I'll let you guess which one🙃

2. Just chugging along. I have a zillion hobbies I want to do and a short story I'm working on before I jump back
