@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. 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.
-
mm, 31553 words and 76.5%. I am slowly (perhaps too slowly?) catching up.
-
well, 29622 words, and 71% done. the novel's picking up steam, but I seem to still be 2 or 3 days behind... 🤔
