Welcome to The WriMo Blog where I share my monthly writing goals, project progress, and more! Today's post is another Open Novella Contest 2024 progress update. If this interests you, keep reading!
Before I get into the update, I gotta say this one thing. I shared my novella to one of the writer groups I'm in on Facebook, and I didn't get the response I was expecting. But as I thought about it, I realized that person was not my audience. The fellow-writer was honest and did like the first chapter, but not a certain scene at the start. They felt it was not necessary... That's completely fine.
I did not look at my missed day and think "Crap, I'm behind." Not once. Actually, I looked at it with the mindset of "Wow, I needed that day off."
Needless to day, I made up for the missed word count, and doubled the word total of my novella. Chapter Two went live in the afternoon and by evening, I had a ton of notifications for comments.
At the time of writing this update, I have begun Chapter Three. I've gone to Inkarnate.com and created a map of the fantasy world. Mostly for me to remember where certain places are located in my notes. It's very simple, but it does the job. I have also picked my playlist for writing. Its mostly a compilation of songs I listen to often, but they fit the fantasy genre and that's all I need.
That's my update for now. Thanks for following along! Stay safe, and stay awesome. See you in the funny papers!
