Good afternoon, folks!

I’m on about 7000 words for the month, which isn’t as high as I’d like but much better than having zero words for the month.

Today I wrote zilch! But I did edit two stories. One was an out loud read through which was then sent to my beta readers. The second one was me looking over notes from my beta readers. This was about three work at a guess. I was planning to squeeze in a quick Mando Method between the two but I was pushed for time and wasn’t able to. This sucks a little, but it’s not much good writing every day if I’m not finishing and submitting work.

The End Of All Things

Outside of writing I finished listening to John Scalzi’s The Human Division and listened to the final book in the Old Mans War series, The End Of All Things. Although not as good as The Human Division it’s still a damn fine book which wraps things up well.

Time to wrap this post up. Keep cracking on with those goals and ambitions, folks!

Good Morning Saturday 11th of January 2020

I got the date right first today! No typing in 2019 at all!

Anyway, I’m at 3652 for the month. That is below my target of 500 words a day but there has been editing in there as well. So I’m still putting the time in.

I’ve got two stories I’ve written for submissions. One of which was an invite only anthology which I’m super stoked about and hope my contribution is accepted. The other is for what will be the third book in a horror anthology series. Like with the other story I’m super excited about this one and hope the editors accept it.

Both those stories still need another edit pass and I might have just thought about rewriting the ending to one of them……. Anyway, I’m working on another piece at the moment but I’m not sure where I’m going with it. Unlike the last two stories I wrote I have no idea where this one is going. Which is both fun and a little scary.

I’m listening to The Human Division by John Scalzi again. This is such a fantastic book and I love the formula he uses of interconnected short stories! It’s something I’m trying myself with a couple of projects.

Right, time to crack on with the day. Have fun, folks!
