How is everybody doing?

[Boneman]

Also - preparing something novelish, Edwardian & steampunk that is looking very promising at the moment. I begin writing it on 21st December...

That's damn organised... or because that's the winter solstice?

First 10,000 words of one manuscript out on submission. Have a re-write and re-submit for another manuscript. (have till march to do this.) Just started looking at a first draft of a WIP I set aside earlier this year. Have about 50,000 words of the first book done and about 25,000 words of the second. It's a duology.

Welcome back

My writing had ground to a halt since taking on another school in Sept (the worst experience of my teaching career - hence the lack of produce) but since I handed my notice in and quit in December, I have found my groove.

So I'm working on my 10k scifi story 'The Wall' and the albatross of 'Sour Ground' - full length story.

Seems like a lot of people have had a slump. Altho some (looking askance at a certain Magic Roundabout character...) are doing quite well

Thank you for contributing everyone, it is inspiring to see so much positivity.

I've shelved HB, having been rejected or ignored by all UK agents. C is with my first beta-reader, and I've added 6,000 words to P, which has been a struggle. I also have two short stories and a poem awaiting their fate.

Hi,
I just randomly popped back up here too. I have been doing okayish, my writing fares a lot better than I. I wrote and completed a short story for a scholarship.

I have been working on fanfictions and my ever bothersome story Daughter of Death. combined they have over 100k words I think. Today was the first day since Aug. that I actually worked on Daughter of death and I only added 322 words, but that's better than nothing.

In other news, I was the Mayor of Munchkin City and Nikko in the Wizard of Oz at my school.

It's the first day of my winter break (2 1/2 weeks); and only Xmas Day when I won't be writing... I like to start a new novel at the beginning of a college holiday - preferably the six week sunmmer one - as then I work up a good momentum that carries me through to the end of the book a few months later.

Nice to see you back.

My writing's going well. Presently editing my 90K, and worked out there's a sequel waiting in the wings for it. I've got a new side project (my relaxation piece) that's shaping up nicely in spare moments, and I'm making notes for a possible short, too. So, all in all, not bad.

Cool keep going.....

I am finding myself with less and less time to write as work becomes insanely busy and the holidays are starting. It's depressing.

I write whenever I can, but I'm also reading a really good series (I have so many books just waiting for me to get to them) and of course my family comes first.

Oy.
