Completely rewrote the outline and stared strong with a few good days, but then slowed down in the past few days. Tomorrow I'm going to take myself out for coffee and write though. #FirstDraftFall

@jaxdevora.bsky.social#FirstDraftFall Hilariously, not much reoutlining, BUT! I have copious amounts of notes regarding the characters central to the mystery at hand AND the surrounding bee-related politics. Let's just say the more I work on character notes, the less like A Scandal in Bohemia this gets, which is GREAT.
@joannamasters.bsky.socialI was able to outline four out of the six episodes I'll be writing; the other two were outlined the week before.
Now if I can finish this other project revision before Monday, I can actually start drafting at the start of the week...
@inmara.sunspot.world#FirstDraftFall #WeeknightWriters
About 20K words of drafting in the form of five new chapters.
@elizmanderson.comit's also stuff like "mom in memory care facility who usually doesn't remember her when she visits" so like again. what change lol. what can you do about that
@elizmanderson.comMartha isn't particularly happy at the start of MarthaWIP, but she figures it's because she's a bad daughter and was a bad wife (now she's divorced) and probably she's not a great friend either, so like. what change lol
@scarlettchase.bsky.socialAbsolutely none because I have a ton of editing for my clients to do so I don't fall behind before my move. But I might be able to write over the weekend #FirstDraftFall
@dustinush.bsky.socialDoes "some" count as an answer. I have a better idea of a few plot lines, a better idea who the leads are, and some twists for later once the story starts. I just need the stuff between the start and the twists. #FirstDraftFall
@ambooneauthor.bsky.socialA lot! I came up with more characters, told myself that the first draft doesn't have to be perfectly historical and figured out how the evil(?) god's powers work.
I'm gonna take a break for the weekend and work on my current WIP (since I said I can't start this until it's done)
@jessmahler.bsky.social#FirstDraftFall
Pretty much none, I finished drafting my prior WIP, now titled Hunted and Called, and I pulled up my old notes for Elisabeti and reviewed them. But no new planning down.
Over the weekend I want to take another look at my existing outline & maybe tweak/expand it as needed.

@elwolfsblood.bsky.social#FirstDraftFall
I did some brainstorming with a friend and thought I had some direction but I’m feeling extremely uninspired by my WIP right now, I have been really busy, and am really tired. Hopefully on my days off I’ll get some writing in.
@zadafalcon.bsky.socialI thought about it a lot... Oh also I mocked up all my dragons in Spore. Does that count?
You know Spore. The creature-creator game from 2009. That Spore?
I made dragons in it!
I can still do kobolds, unicorns, griffins... I contain multitudes!
@smoking-gnu.bsky.social#FirstDraftFall
None so far. Still working on the other WIP, will be finishing that one up tonight with an epilogue.

@andria-kennedy.comI finished one character bio which equated to six pages of writing. Plus the start of the next one.
After this week, I need a break, so no plans to do more than rest this weekend.
@paulhikari.bsky.socialI've already planned out the whole story of "Knights of the Kingdom", and since last week, the word count has surpassed 7000 words. I'm hoping to get more in over this week.
@weeknightwriters.bsky.socialFriday #FirstDraftFall Check-In: How much story planning did you accomplish this week? Are there any story planning tasks you're hoping to accomplish over the weekend?
@jessmahler.bsky.social#WeeknightWriters #FirstDraftFall:
Whoops, wrong story. Let's try this again.
Elisabeti is not happy with her life at the beginnint of the story, she wants to find a way for her cub to be safe, and she doesn't see how it can be possible in the world as it is.
#Elisabeti
@aspenrayne.comNone of them are exactly thriving at the beginning 😂
In Mercy, Madison thinks she has a good life because she believes in Providence and its church, but there is one part of herself she desperately wants to change: her love for her neighbor. She keeps confessing those feelings...
@desdemonarose.bsky.socialYep, the book starts with Marga getting a little more responsiblity at work and her anniversary with Ever. Things do get a little more complicated as the story goes on.
@crystalbauthor.bsky.socialNo she feels caged and trapped. She wants to get out of her parents' shadows and be her own person.
