Last week I wrote 5K, or just one story, but I’m really not in a hurry this year. I’m exploring new subgenres, so I usually need a couple of days of “research” before I start writing. I either rewatch movies or grab an old non-fiction books to nail some details and then I write.
Plus I had the creative weekend this week, so no time for another story, I was busy preparing the “strip” for Instagram (and later male a TikTok video with the same panels). Here’s some “making of” and the latest Wave.
This week I won’t start writing until today, probably, but maybe I’ll manage two stories, or maybe just one again.
If you like short stories, check out these Kickstarters: 100th Power: Limited Edition Haul of 100 Powerful Stories, Make 100 Short Stories: Spun Yarns Unwound and Make 100 Magical Short Stories With Me. All the writers are friends of mine, so I can vouch for their good writing! They have already funded or are close to founding, so check them out!
If you haven’t already, subscribe to the IASFA newsletter… you’ll get free books and will find one of mine in the upcoming monthly promo… don’t miss this opportunity if you love SFF! π

I guess that’s all for now… have a great week! π

/ 19/01/2023Well, it sounds like you’ve been having fun anyhow, which is the main thing.
Last week I was juggling dog grooming and vet appointments, attending a meeting for one of the groups I do things with via the ACB, hosting for and participating in some calls for the ACB, listening to (and, yes, approving) the 15 minute sample for the audio version of “Jelena” the narrator had sent me, doing two author interviews (one of which was streamed live) and working with hubby on some de-cluttering and reorganizing. So there was no writing time. But I did some promotion with those two interviews, and have the audiobook closer to being available (in fact, since the 15 minute sample ended up being the whole book, it won’t be long before I get the final version sent to me for approval, in theory) so at least I was doing something writerly. This week all I care about is resting to recover from last week. LOL!
