Into chapter 3 now, but progress is darned slow. Not helped by....

Malessar's Curse
Fantasy
New Idea at the brief outline stage. There's a massive cliffhanger plot-twist that could be an absolute doozy but needs serious structural plotting. Not something I'm good at.

 

[chrispenycate]

I got up to 30'000 words on my dragon story, before editing and brought it to a satisfactory end; only to be told "not long enough, needs to be novel length" So, end no longer end, has become break and I've done roughly 15,000 more, but slowed.
The "after the big melt" collection of shortish stories has reached 18.000 words and temporarily stalled while I work on "Big ship" (placeholder title) interstellar generation ship, which has somewhere around 12,000 words in the computer and at least that number longhand which need to be transcribed, and still huge blocksin my head that I haven't even written down.
Unfortunately, this last doesn't seem to inspire anyone but me.
So it goes.

Working backwards from the end on this one. The last chapter is written, now skipping back to a pivotal scene. Still not sure how to actually start Chapter 1 on this, but its looking like - for narrative-twist reasons - there will be only one POV, which will be challenging.

Malessar's Curse

6000 odd words across two random chapters (end and middle) so far, but I think I know how to start Chapter 1, which I'll do after flying the heroine over to the cursed lands on a dragon's back....still only one POV, but the story structure is starting to settle itself now.

this seems to be my own private thread at the moment!

Malessars Curse
Epic and tragic fantasy, natch
15000 words across 5 chapters, only 1 of which can be labelled Finished.
Chapter 1 is in the home straight; chapter 2 is on the blocks. the cliffhanger ending needs some reworking to change the setting to match an earlier chapter....
