Tag: Weekly Writing Update

After the sprint of productivity last week in which I met my self-imposed deadline to finish Balancing Act's first part, along with revisions on Principles (which we released this past Monday), I was hoping for a semi-quiet week with plenty of time to dig into revisions on A Spiritual Journey. That sort of happened.

I really didn't think I could do it. Balancing Act felt like it was going so slowly, each viewpoint dragging by without enough happening, and I really didn't think I was going to get it finished by the end of October, despite my goal. But I did it!

Most of my efforts went into Balancing Act, on which I made respectable progress, especially considering how busy this week became.

Maybe taking a break from Blood Magic after I finished the rough draft of A Spiritual Journey is why it took me so long to get into Balancing Act, but this week I finally got back into it and picked up the flow for the story.

It seems as if I was just writing last week's writing update, which is perhaps because I have so little progress to report this week. I wrote a measly one thousand words for Balancing Act.

You hopefully saw September's Blood Magic episode, Drive On, go live this past Friday. I also finished revising Dragon's Hoard and submitted that story to September's Elegant Literature contest earlier this week.

I made some progress on revisions to Principles, which I intend to finish next week (that’s October’s episode), and I did a preliminary revision on Dragon’s Hoard, which I will be submitting to a contest next week.

A decent writing week to report this week, hampered by more time than I expected spent on revisions.

It feels like I did a lot of writing this week, which is only partially true. While I did spend a lot of time working on writing-related things, the actual progress on my main projects was smaller than I wanted, for all that I was accomplishing important tasks.

August has ended, it's Labor Day weekend, and autumn will be upon us before we know it, which means that I am starting to feel some urgency to finish Blood Magic.
