I've formally put my goals 'on paper'. I officially start on the 1st because it's a Thursday and I host SU&W. I set myself up to win in that I'm going to a SU&W Tues. and Thurs. On Wednesday I joined an online writing/critique circle.

I'm keeping my goals simple. I want to complete draft 2 of book 1. After that to re-outline book three. I'm just not happy with what I have so far, and it's making starting it hard. Hopefully I can start book 3.

#pretendpanel, it's all good saying what our goals are, but we need to slow down and think through the steps it's going to take to get there. So...

December 26th: What do you need in order to achieve your writing goals in 2026?

So, just between us writers...

...how did we do on our goals? Did we meet them? Get super close? Give up and eat chips?

I finished book 2 and made good progress on draft 2 of book 1. Also, I started a horor novel and set up my writer's email address.

Honestly, I need to write more. I keep going long stretches without writing anything. I finished a book in 6 months. I know that's not a long time, but what could I do if I actually focused?

#WritingCommunity #WritersSky #PretendPanel #BlackWritersSky
#pretendpanel, I have a whole lot to catch up on still from yesterday, but while I do that, let me know...

December 13th: How would you most like to improve as a writer in 2026?

Just between us writers...

...how many drafts do you do before you're satified you have the very best manuscript in front of you? I'm only on draft 2 and think I'll be working on this for a while.

Draft 2 is going so well! I love being able to expand the world I've created.

I'm really happy with where it's going.

Alright! Draft 2!

I really need to organize my editing notes. Right now I'm switching between Docs.

And book 3 has been fully plotted. Let's see if the book actually resembles the outline. The last two didn't.

Ten pages into draft 2 of book 1. I'm stopping for the day to do something else. What that is I don't know.

Party peeps,

When did you start your newsletter? It was suggested to me that I start building a newsletter list now. I'm still in the writing phase so I have nothing to share at the moment. Actually, I don't now how I would build a list.

Lemme compile the Black Fae ideas before I forget and I will!

Sorry for the retags, but it was based off y'all hands.

Today's total word count: 1373

I want to keep going, but it's making my heart ache. I know I wrote it but it's heart wrenching.

So, maybe I'm just gassing myself up (sometimes you have to) but I really think my writing has gotten better. I know it's just my third book, but my writing is different.

Or it could simply be that it's a different type of book.

Book 2 is finished!

The ending is sad, but there was no other way for it to end.

I won't touch this again for MONTHS, and that makes me happy.

How many of you have read books on the craft? I didn't and wonder if I should. I just jumped right in and wrote my first book. I'm now working on my second.

If you did read books, which do you recommend?

My loves...

...we're deep in the new year. How're those goals coming along? I'm still plugging away at book 2. After that, I'm taking a long step back from doing anything writing related.

The plotting for the ending of the book is going well. I've figured out a piece that had been eluding me for MONTHS. Now that I have a map, I can get to where I'm going.

Yes, I did plot the book. However, the details can be tricky.

I see a lot you of fine folks submitting work to magazines and anthologies. Did you feel you had to go that way OR is it something you wanted to do? Is it a way to introduce your work to others who might not have otherwise found you?

So, I'm nearing the end of book two's first draft. Guys...I think it needs so much work. Mind you I started over in November.

I'm really worried and discouraged.

I have not written anything since the 25th. Don't know what's going on but the words aren't coming. Honestly, not sure what to do because I haven't run into this before.

I'm not discouraged because I'll get through it but man...
