It’s novel writing month. I’ve got a group I’m working with and we’re all going to be doing some long-form writing for the month. I plan on posting updates in here!

Life has been busy, but all of our stuff is physically in our new place. Now we exhausted unpacking everything into the new place for the next few days.

I haven’t been on in a while, needless to say a lot going on personally (moving to another state, starting a new job), so haven’t had the bandwidth for writing and posting. Hopefully in the coming weeks I’ll be freed up for November and can work on my book!

It's been over a dozen years but every now and then I think about how my 11th grade English teacher told me I couldn't submit my short story for an assignment cause the story took place over like 6 months. She said short stories can only take place in a short period of time, like a few hours.

Friendly reminder that when folks say that you "have" to follow specific writing advice, you do not, in fact, have to.
What they are sharing is what works for them, and while it might be useful, there is no one way to get your writing out into the world. Do what works for you.

This! It’s the journey that I love. I generally have a loose idea but I iron that out as I write. I let the characters tell me where to go, and I follow them. (Of course, the ending was the first thing I wrote for Hunger but it was more divine inspiration that anything)
I once saw advice that would grind my writing to a halt if I followed it. They said that 'you have to know the ending of the story at the start' and that would be impossible to me. I'd lose interest. I need to solve the mystery. I write as my interest arrives and then edit it together layer by layer

I’ve been thinking about doing a newsletter, but I really have no idea where to start, but I would like to start doing something maybe monthly? It would be like this, but much more compact and thought-out. (These are very much so not).

I’ve had a pretty productive day. I got the website up and running (it’s primitive but it works! dallasfinch.net), I got some revisions done on the new rough draft of The Bay, about to get some more writing done.

Been doing some revising today, about to cuddle up with the doggo and watch some videos before jumping into a writing session. Trying to get 1k a day to finish off The Bay.

Been working on getting some chores done today, then I’m hopping into writing!
I got 1.8k words on The Bay yesterday night. Doing a full rewrite, but I should be done before the end of the month for sure.
