Sometimes editing a novel means you're destroying everything, so that you can build it back better.

I removed one POV character from my project, started brainstorming, blinked, and then began plans to mesh two different books together.

Sometimes it's the little things that keep me motivated to keep writing. For me, at this time, I made a progress bar for the year, and so visualizing my goals has been rather helpful.

What are some little things that keep others motivated?

As of today, I have begun revisions of a project I have been working on for the past 8 years. Completed the first chapter, at just above 3k words.

Happy New Year, and happy writing to everyone!

As we get ready for the new year, I have been considering my writing goals.

#WritingCommunity, what do you hope to accomplish next year?

Today is a big writing and a planning day for my WIP, and let me tell you. I am so excited for some of the planned character dynamics in this story.

Today, I have touched up on on my 2026 writing goals. Some of which are going to remain private, but I will say I have big plans. However, there will be 2 words encompassing everything: consistency and persistence.

I hope everyone has a peaceful holiday.

#WritingCommunity, how do folks tackle their first draft? Do you tend to plot everything out, do you discover things as you go along, or do you like to do a mix?

For right now, I am experimenting with the art of doing 10k drafts by means of discovery writing before I outline.

Today, I am drafting. As such, I am working on a relatively new project, but I have big plans for it.

I am working on a high fantasy project I hope to name as my debut novel.

For me, I have found the end of the year to be essential for honing in on my writing goals for next year.

I am undertaking a big writing challenge next, plus I would like to read at least 20 books in the oncoming new year.

What is everyone else hoping to accomplish?

In addition to writing, I have officially become an ARC reviewer on NetGalley, with the hope of spreading the word about up and coming book releases in 2026.

Sometimes there's something peaceful about waking up in the morning to write, especially when it's dark out.

I have big plans for 2026, and as a result, I am now planning on doing some morning writing as a test.
