Writing Update

I'm so far off on my writing goals, and it's only just February! But it's okay. I was struggling with two different stories I was working on, and finally came to the conclusion they need to be filed in the archives as good practice. There were fundamental errors with them that I couldn't overcome - and rewriting them was like pulling teeth. Revising and editing is one thing. Going back to write a story you've already written ... it's not something I can do right now. Maybe later.

Luckily, inspiration struck last night. Originally I wanted to have a lot of the planning for this year's project done by today. I'll just have to adjust the timeline a bit. I have plenty of other projects I'm also working on right now, so it might be better if I'm still in planning stages, rather than in the drafting zone.

So, off to work I go. :) But before I do, don't forget the Collaboration Challenge starts Monday! I'll kick it off here and let you know who the collaborators will be this time around. We have some veterans and a couple newbies, so it's bound to be another exciting challenge.


Is there anything you would like to see happen in this Collaboration Challenge? Leave me a comment and I might be able to fit your suggestion in.

  1. Changing writing goals are so tough to do! Good for you for knowing when it's the right time. Yay for the collaboration story!!!!

    1. Thanks, Nicole. :) It was tough. I had to convince myself it was bigger sabotage to keep trying to work on them as opposed to just starting over with something new, using all the wonderful new skills I've learned over the past year or so from the very beginning. Maybe if I can make something work this way, I can figure out how to fix those other ones. :)
