Wednesday Weekly Roundup

Last week when I went to put in the wordcount on Christmas Eve, I noticed I had skipped two weeks of this very hectic year… so I went through my weekly paper calendar to figure out which wordcounts I had left out, going all the way back to February (the other missing week was in […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup

Last week I wrote a little over 10K, which brings the yearly total at 370K. Not even close to 500K, but I don’t care. I’ll probably make it to 400K, though, and that would be great. Not that I could have written 100K in those four non-writing weeks anyway… I don’t consider it a failure, […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup

I had quite a productive week, since I wrote 13K, but then, I was off Day Job! 🙂 Although I did go out almost every morning for various errands, my mind was obviously less troubled than usual, since I managed to write a short story and then start on the next longer project. I also […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup

Last week I wrote 4.5k words, so no, I didn’t reach 350K yet. I wasted two days between projects once again, and spent the weekend drawing the next strip (you can see some videos of the WiP on my TikTok). I have started another story, so I can probably put a few thousand more words […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup

Last week I wrote a little over 8K and didn’t finish the story like I was hoping. I have clearly trouble concentrating on the writing, too much going on around me. Or I developed a hummingbird brain who doesn’t want to dive into a story for more than an hour per day, who knows! Anyhow, […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup

Last week I wrote a little over 5K – again some trouble between stories, I lost a full day trying to find the entry point to the next story, sigh. And Sunday was creative weekend, so I spent it mostly drawing, although not on the strip yet. I prepared a few things for next year, […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup

I thought last week would be the fifth non-writing week of the year because of all the publishing stuff I had to deal with, but I found time and inspiration on the weekend to start a new story, and I ended up with 4.4K wordsm which is more than some other weeks of the year, […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup

Last week I traveled to Spain, searching for inspiration, and even slept in a castle, which I might include in either my next high fantasy series or in the sequel of The Fern and The Cross, since I already had in mind to make the second generation to leave England, cross France and Arab-occupied Spain, […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup

I know I said I wouldn’t post this week, and I don’t have any writerly news or wordcounts for you, but I wanted to talk about the Kickstarter That Didn’t Fund. As you lovely readers of this blog know, it was an experiment. The good thing was that 15 people backed it and that’s my […]

Wednesday Weekly Roundup

Last week I wrote a little over 2K between Monday and Tuesday to finish the story I had started the previous Sunday. Then I moved to the translation of Magical Friends and I will keep at it for this week as well, so no new words until November, when I hope to be done with […]
