#WritingMonth is back up, though it might take up to ten minutes before your computer recognizes the new DNS.

If you are having issues ten minutes from now, let me know and I'll diagnose.

#WritingMonth will be down briefly as I migrate it to a different server. Shouldn't be more than fifteen minutes or so.

It's time for the third episode: https://ccw.icu/blog/letter-to-the-editor-letter-iii/

I decided to post them every three days instead. That way all of the episodes will be out by the end of April (the last one should be published on 30.4)

Things become real, as we learn the real intention behind the letters

Guess who started a new project on #WritingMonth!

For May I'm mostly dealing with ideation and outlining, so I'm tracking words. Once I have a firm plan in place, hopefully by june, I'll start aiming to finish a number of chapters every month until I'm done.

The goal here is to finish a book, not to finish it quickly.

Side note, this reminds me I need to chck in with the issue list on WritingMonth.org's codeberg and start seeing if I can knock out some work for it!

I'm happy to announce that the first episode of "Letter to the Editor", a five-part mini fiction series I'm working on, is now live.

I don't want to give away too much, which is why the tags are vague, but I hope you'll enjoy.

PS: I'll probably announce the upcoming episodes in this thread once they are live.
(I'm currently planning to upload them every four days, we'll see about that)

I tried my luck figuring out how old a random notebook was.
And decided to write a short post about, because chronological dating is a lot of fun, as I've discovered for myself 😍

@amin lmaooo i do need to post again

perhaps i will start drafting this year's post lol, and maybe i'll try to get several done during #WritingMonth — that's in november, right?

I'm running late again 🫠

But after finding the photos in my gallery, I finally finished my latest blog post recipe.
I hope you are hungry, because we are making falafel(ish): https://ccw.icu/blog/falafelish/

25. How long does it typically take you to draft a novel?

One month for the first rough draft, usually in November (#WritingMonth) or, in the past, also April, when that other site was still a thing. After that month, forever, because the draft is so rough that it neds so many changes that I lose confidence in the story.

Do you have deadlines? External or self-imposed?

I only have very few external deadlines since I retired and I love that fact, had enough during my worklife. I do my best work under pressure though, sadly.
#ScribesAndMakers is giving me internal deadlines, something I missed without realising it. It's giving me a bit of structure but is gentle enough to not be stressful, and I love to help with it and have a lot of fun.
Writing-wise only during #WritingMonth.

Feels so good to finish writing a story on paper.

#WritingMonth

@Sorvall same with the event in itself, you don't need a company promoting the event to do it. Just go #WritingMonth and do it

Hi 👋

It's finally time for the final episode of It's Canvas.
In this part, I briefly touched on ways to finish the canvas and alternative types of glue, which can be used.

@shakespearenut Try #writingMonth https://writingmonth.org/

It's a little barebones so far, but already more flexible: if November doesn't work for you, tyou can do it another month, for example

#NaNoWriMo is shutting down.

We like #WritingMonth as an alternative.

@shakespearenut A pretty good community formed around #WritingMonth here last year, when a lot of folks were fed up with the recent issues in the central NaNo organization. I suspect most local groups will keep going regardless of what happens with the org, too.

@royal

I'm considering it. My current plan is to really start leaning back into #WritingMonth development starting in May, when I'm finished with my classes.

If you have any ideas in that direction though I'm very happy to hear them.
