Frustrated to learn that Wikipedia is insisting to write about #NaNoWriMo in the present tense.
It is D-E-D-DEAD, dude. Stick a fork in it. It died because it deserved to die.
Long live #WritingMonth!!

@Edent Revenge Of The Mutant Algorithms! Angels and Daemons. https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2024/11/angels-and-daemons/
A change of pace from the previous instalments: less a story than a piece of meta-level creative writing.

Today I setup a #WritingMonth project for my new novel project that I started last month. I've got a goal of 2000 words in January (setup as of today) which I am very close to reaching, with a goal of 5000 words in February.
Check out my WritingMonth profile here which will show all current and future goals - https://writingmonth.org/~orbitalmartian/

31. Happy New Year! Take pride in what you’ve written and share the progress you've made!
The year wasn't bad. I finished another #WritingMonth project, did a lot of editing, character development and roughly know where the third and last part of the WIP will go. I like the story.

CW: Longish: 30. How has your writing been this year? Any achievements/wins/lessons you want to celebrate?
I'm not unhappy with the writing I did. I completed another #WritingMonth challenge in November and just finished rereading and taking notes, and I still like it.
I constantly struggle with my impostor syndrome, especially when I see the work of all the fabulous writers here in these communities, but I'm beginning to care less and focus more on actually finishing this WIP. So I plan not to edit too much and rather declare another writing month, maybe in April (that used to be NaNo camp time) and get to writing part 3. The pantsing does things to the plot I couldn't foresee in part 1. -

Der #WritingMonth für dieses Jahr ist beendet. Ich habe es auf knapp 60.000 Wörter gebracht. Die Geschichte, oder jedenfalls ihr erster Teil, hat einen schönen Abschluss mit Verlobung bekommen. Das Seeungeheuer, dem alle nur seinen Schatz abjagen wollen, konnte auf 2700 Wörtern seine Sicht der Dinge schildern. Jetzt fehlen noch ein paar Übergänge zu Teil 2 und 3. Die sind dann im Frühjahr an der Reihe.

#WritersCoffeeClub 30 Share some good things about how your work went this month!
It was great: I have all of the major scenes involving magic roughed out, including some things that surprised me and an unexpected character, and a lot of the politics.
At this point I have the armature for the front half of the book, and for the back half, and I think I know how the bridge between them needs to work: there was a chapter that did not want to be written earlier.

#ScribesAndMakers 30 How did your creativity go this month?
Very well. I set a goal of averaging 1000 additional words/day on volume 3, and succeeded, taking the text from 79217 words to 109222.
The book is not done: there is a chapter that needs to move to a later volume, and stuff that's missing and stuff that's told that should be shown, but I have the main scaffolding, more or less end to end, and most of the key scenes, which is what I was hoping for.

Well I failed my November #WritingMonth goal. Maybe try again next month? I would like to get better at carving out times and spaces to write even with a barnacle child stuck to me at all times.

30. How did your creativity go this month?
and
30. Share some good things about how your work went this month!Writing: It went surprisingly well. I did the #WritingMonth with 50K and ended the draft with 57K words, and it's pretty horrible, but not completely so. I'm glad I didn't finish editing no. 1 yet, there's a lot of new stuff from the pantsing. I consider writing no. 3, which should have the conclusion, before I finish editing anything to get a bit of foreshadowing in, and to get the arcs straightened out.

Thank you, yes, it feels good. This is part or book 2, last year I wrote the draft for part one. I've come up with many new things in part 2 that I'm glad I didn't finish editing part 1 yet.
Do you know that you can set goals on the #WritingMonth website every month?
-
Day 29: 2158 words. 57091 words total. And I typed
'The End'. Phew.
This was an exciting month, but now I'm also very 'pantsed out' and look forward to the first read-through.
Thank you again, @amin for giving us the website. It's been fun. -
Achievement unlocked! Finished Writing Month, hitting my 40,000 words target, and also completed the draft I was working on. Came together nicely to finish both at the same time.
40,022 words added to my draft this month, bringing it to a total of 72,814. Biggest writing day - today! With a whopping 4,019 words.
Now that draft goes away for a rest for a while. December I'm going to spend on planning and other bits and bobs, but won't start another draft until after Christmas.
-
Day 28: 1796 words. Things actually fall into place and begin to make sense that were just wild pantsing ideas earlier.
-
Done some planning work today on the last two scenes for the draft, which I will write over the weekend. Taking #WritingMonth right down to the wire!

I just (re-) found #WritingMonth and #FediWriMo.
My challenge to myself is to set up a blog about my nutrition and exercise goals. Basically, how it was possible for a 57-year old schmo lost 45 pounds in 6.5 months without stabbing myself in the tummy.
While it's probably not revolutionary, I think my process is repeatable by others. I want to get it out in the world. Also, I think my story might be relatable to other oldsters.

It is time for a new blog post. :neocat_box:
And after more than a year, it is a new recipe, inspired by Ancient Roman Moretum: https://ccw.icu/blog/food/moretum/
Other projects are taking up a lot of my time right now, so the blog is moving at a slower pace than planned.
I originally wanted to publish part three of "It's Canvas" this week, but decided to swap part 3 and 4 last minute, and now I have part 4 almost completed, but only just started working on part 3. :neocat_blush_hide:

@Edent Revenge of the Mutant Algorithms: 3, Universal Soldier Bin.
Wildly imaginative extrapolation of lots of things wrong with the world of today, dressed up as futuristic Gothic horror and presented with some dreamlike incongruity.

Hiiiii :ablobcatwave:
I'm finally back with part two of It's Canvas :bunhdheart:. It was originally meant to be released last weekend, but I got distracted with other stuff. :neocat_blush_hide:
In this episode, I'll look at Mod Podge a photo transfer glue, which can be used to transfer photos onto images. :neocat_science:

@Edent Revenge of the Mutant Algorithms: 2, The Myth of the Fall of Icarus.
Alternative ending to the ridiculous story of Icarus, equally ludicrous. Icarusʼ maiden flight was successful, and he uses the new-found technology to launch an army of winged naked ladies against the gorping forces of King Minos, only to be thwarted by a cunning plan of Minosʼ Archimedes.
