Youāll find your people. :) wandering.shop is for writers over on Mastodon if thatās your kind of thing, but I think itās invite only as well. Short stories are hectic, they seem to have their own communities!
Iām all novels and non-fiction. Trying to do a complete John le CarrĆ© re-read atm
(Sorry #gin folk of nostr, this household is Gordonās served over ice, mint, no-carb tonic in old tumblers we got free from McDonalds)
Weekly #wip #writing check-in, while I wait for my critique group to start (I need to get the gin and tonic ready.)
2,857 words added to the current manuscript. 45,285 manuscript total, too many words for not having hit the midpoint! Been thinking about craft problems I have and how and when to fix them. Worrying about genre when I donāt have one.
Got no #books read, unless you count plodding through Probability for Dummies as needed.
Hope you all have a great week, whatever youāre working on.
Fabio, my faithful hound, keeping me company while I finish up notes for tonightās meeting:
I donāt think thereās very many yet. What kinda stuff do you like to write/read? š
Iām gonna start recommending cats to everyone I see
Tiny ruckus, just standing there and barking at me. Iāve given him food, pats, toys, play time, ice cubs. What do you want, doggie???
This prick is no help at all. This household is now team Chihuahua and anti-Pomerania (loud dumb, dumb dogs)
#dogsofnostr helping with maths homework
Whenever Iām supposed to be concentrating on writing Iām fantasizing about art supplies and the images Iām going to make. Whenever Iām painting I just want to get back to writing. (The hospital jobs only gives me nightmares :D)
That is a beautiful photo
Some of them are really good! Good luck with C++
#wip #writing weekly update.
1200 words on current manuscript completed and 800 on the barebones of an outline for āDampā, the next project, to give to my critique group for a brainstorming session, they are the best.
So, met the 2k weekly goal, but it doesnāt feel good not spending the whole 2k on the main manuscript, so Iāll update the goal to make sure Iām focusing on getting the current story done.
The next idea is always more fun to work on, damn it.
If you decide to get your degree in stats or maths can I recommend doing it all at once and not piecemeal over five years
Week 2 of returning to maths and Iām already cracking opening Probability for Dummies. Concepts easy, notation forgettable
Heās such a good boy otherwise, but he had a couple of big off-leash dogs run up to us and scare him, so now heās alway hyper alert when we go for a walk. Every-time we make a bit of progress theyāll be like a surprise dog in the lift or something that takes us back to square 1.
Remedial class at dog school today because this one is 2.2kg of pure menace on leash! #dogsofnostr
It looks like a beautiful place. I canāt believe I didnāt visit when I lived in Victoria for 2 years. (Poor at the time, my only excuse)
Looks so remote. Guess it is kinda like the bottom of the world, right?
