Been so stagnant with writing lately. Hoping to change this soon!

Last time we were here, Archie was a potato attached to the harness on my chest. Now he’s running, picking up leaves, and pulling at my ears like they’re reins on a horse.

Just watched The Hobbit for the first time. What on earth took me so long?! #movienight #datenight
My second chapter goes to workshop tomorrow. Why do I always get so nervous?! #writer
Let’s go when I come to visit!
Current word count: 38319
Where did y'all try to go?
I never thought of that before, but would totally try!
Are you the type of person who typically needs to go back and add more or go back and cut a ton of things out? #question #writers
37500 words written and I'm just starting to get to the main plot point in the story. I feel like I have so much good momentum. Hoping to get this to about 60,000 words for the shitty first draft before going back and adding more context where needed.

Looking forward to the next writing workshop in a few weeks where the group will be looking at my second chapter. Got great feedback on the first one, here’s hoping they like the continuation of this story!

Thinking of checking out a different place in town to right for the next time I get out to work on the book. Hard to find that perfect blend of not too loud/not too quiet.
Last night was the first time I had a writing night out where someone from the writing group joined me! I love getting to write with other writers around.
Edited 2 chapters instead of writing tonight. I know, I know. I shouldn’t edit before the shitty first draft is done. But it has to be presentable before the writing group critiques it! #writerproblems #author
It’s Friday! Which has become a night of working exclusively on the book for me. Looking forward to doing so tonight. This next chapter sets up the main event for what the whole book thus far has been building up to! #author #firstbook #writer
Super excited to start in on this for my first book of 2025!
That would be such a fun collab!
Happy New Year everyone! Here’s to going after your dreams in 2025 🥳
I’m doing the same challenge for myself for #2025 - 26 books. I was gifted so many wonderful books for Christmas (thanks @travisnorman.bsky.social) - I’m excited to dive right in!
I had a #readingchallenge for myself in 2024 to read 26 books. While I missed that goal…it was only by 5 books - and reading 21 books still feels like a huge win!
Also reopened my Plottr timeline for this book only to find despite all of the changes I’ve made in the story since the last time I opened it - I’m exactly where I should be with plot points and how I separated out chapters.
Update: ending up writing 3,000 words - and finished a chapter/started the next one. I’m 35583 words in. #bookprogress #writer
....now on to work! Trying to work through this critical chapter without going back and editing what I already did. #futureauthor #writing
