I'm trying to keep to my 30K word goal as of late, which has been going well. But it's not really that stressful of a goal, at only 1000 words a day. On FR I've been busy buying some dragons....

Hi hello everyone! How goes the writing this month? I haven't been doing so well so I'm trying to catch up.

New babies! The first three are potential keepers, though I really should only keep one, if any...

I live and breathe! After a billion things that needed doing, including converting the remainder of my backlist to print after years of not bothering.

@Emberglo Your mandalas are gorgeous but I can't imagine doing them on a single layer. You are hardcore. O_O

@Caravan Welcome to the thread! I love how you organized Caravan's bio with the pictures! It's so evocative! Are you going to do that for all your dragons?

@paintminion I guess my first question is... how many books do you have out? Career stuff is very different based on whether you're starting, midlisting, or bestselling.

@KrazKitCat I will never understand why NaNo is in November, which is one of the busiest months for a lot of people, and not sometime in summer. *shakes head* And you ended your forum post just fine. :) How long have you been interested in writing?

@Lupik Congrats for winning NaNo! That's a significant accomplishment. And with a script too! Phew. How are you doing with your 'write daily' goal?

@LaraAelric Congratulations on winning! So did you finish or let your poor broken body rest??

@AloneTogether As I mentioned to KrazKitCat above, I think November's a dopey month to do an all-out push on anything. Most people have exams and holidays and end of year reviews, etc. Don't feel bad that you didn't manage! There are better times to push yourself. (I think the scheduling for Camp Nano is much easier on people, honestly!). So you hope to be a professional writer! What kind of writing do you want to do? :)

@Reltseo Six-day-a-week workweeks would take a lot out of *anyone*, I think. *drapes blanket around you* Also, all those regened and new dragons you've got there are AMAZE.

@Banevear Your starmap girl is gorgeous! Welcome to the chat! I'm glad FR helped you start writing again. Have you prodded any of your old projects since joining or are you just feeling the dragon love? :D

@The13Inquisitor So what color do you want to paint your office? :D

@VioletWhirlwind That is one fantastic guardian...! I love py. <3

@Emberlight Congrats on finishing Nano! I think it's safe to put school first, though, lol. You have vacation soon, presumably??

@Issalyn Welcome to the chat! It's fun to write background for characters, isn't it? (I miss WoW too. Alas.)

@sh33pskin This writing meme is so on point. *nods approval*

@mukuroikusabas What's got you down with the writing? Real life interfering?

@Ladyrowyn *hugs you randomly because*

My in-FR news: my clan is packing! We're moving to our ninth flight, Water, on the 24th so I am clearing out the last of my nests and making sure I don't have a ton of babies lying around. After this, I'll only have Lightning and Plague and I'll be done with my whole-Sornieth tour and can go home to Wind again. To stay. Maybe. :D

Okay, so catching up on the chat was my break from the current WIP, which I hope to polish off by the end of the year because that will give me three new novels to release in Q1 of 2019 and that's a pretty good start. But I have to get back to it, so I'm off to do that.

As always, if anyone has questions about the career writing life, I'll be glad to answer! *fluffs up pillows, hands out hot drinks*

*skedaddles*

@micahjaguar

It truly is a strange choice of month, isn't it? I think I'm going to self assign myself to try and just have a date that I want to finish the first draft of my novel. It seems much more doable than pressuring myself into finishing in a busy month. As for what type of writing I wish to do, YA fiction is something I've been really drawn to (probably because I myself am a young adult haha). I have a few plots that I've been working on, but my current main project is a YA fantasy that I enjoy the concept of and therefore can inspire myself to work more often.

@micahjaguar Life has been a little to hectic to get much writing done. I just got home from visiting New York, from Michigan. And I'm still moving stuff around and trying to find space for everything, from when I moved here back in April. XD For now, I'm just feeling the dragon love. I just hatched four new Pearlcatchers last night, and I'm hoping I can find them homes with people who will write lore for them. They're just so pretty.
