- Daily Word Count for My First Novel-

[Alyssa, Time Lord]

YAY!

[Scorpio-of-Autumn]

Well, I've taken a break from writing my novel, because I needed to write a piece of short fiction for my Creative Writing class. I thumbed through my dream journal and wrote a dark fantasy short story. The feedback came in two days ago.

Most everybody loved it! :D I already worked hard on it, but now that I've got all these new ideas to improve it, I'm seriously considering publication.

(BTW, because I took a break from my novel, I'm thinking certain parts of it may need a serious re-write. I cringe for my future self.)

I'll look around for anthology calls, but have no idea how to find those.

That's awesome, Bailey! Good luck with whatever you work out!

Hey, all! I'm sorry I haven't posted/commented much on here for a while. But, I've been watching the progress all of you have been making, and it's great!

I have a bit of a sad announcement. I've been doing a lot of self reflection, as well as received feedback from an awesome Beta Reader, and I'll be taking a hiatus from my novel.

I'm not giving up on it, but it needs some serious work and is only half-finished. What can you expect from something I started in Junior year in High School?

I'll be focusing, instead, on developing my skills and building a reputation as a writer. I'll be spending time writing and (hopefully) selling short stories and poems to magazines. When I feel ready, I'll pick my novel up again, fix what's already been written, and finish it with a brand new skillset.

Wish me luck everyone! (BTW, if anyone would like to Beta Read my short stories before I send them out, please let me know)

[Alyssa, Time Lord]

Good luck! :D
