Posting Every Day Until I Get Published, Day 1:
Bit of background. I have ten years of writing experience in fantasy and several partial finished manuscripts.
That changes today!
I will post everyday updating progress on outlines, word counts, and bits of wisdom I pick up.

Long time since the last update, but I have been writing! Been doing a side project to stretch my legs. Trying out a new POV: first person present tense.

No updates recently because I got food poisoning! Second worst illness related pain I've suffered, the first being Covid.
Worked on a side project today, trying out some different styles!
Look at this Buff, Orc Mafia Boss.

The start is usually the slowest for me, because I am still trying to figure out character voices. I'm a strict architect when it comes to plot, but when it comes to the voice and characterization, I like to have a bit of spontaneity.
Have some more Barbosa.

Was hoping to hit 1k, but I got to a naturally stopping point. Some days I'll be able to do 1k or even 2k-3k, and others I'll only be able to do 50. Important thing is to not force it if I can afford to.
My current record for most words in a day is 11k

Outline and side project work. While I love writing, my ADHD loves to latch onto stray ideas. So, I portion off some time to write a hype fixation which is good practice and reminds me of why I love writing.
