Hi folks, and welcome to the 10th writing club update. That’s right, it’s the big “One-Oh” - we’re in the double digits now.

I hope you are all safe and as well as can be, and able to find some time for creativity/writing. The weather here has been a hodgepodge of warm to surprisingly brisk; although seems to be angling towards warmer now. It will be nice to see the pollinators waking up and doing their rounds soon. Life doing its thing and all that.

Onward to our writers! By my count we’ve got:

Here is a link to last month’s post if you’d like to refresh your memory, or just take a little trip down memory late.

    I love how you keep so many platters spinning. It seems like a great way to keep up forward progression, even when one project slows down a bit.

    It’s great that your story has a disabled protagonist, and sounds like you’re not trying to sugarcoat it. Would this fantasy series be the dystopian one you mentioned? That is also cozy?? (I think I can picture it, but all these descriptions sound wildly unique when put together.)

    Do you find the endings usually come together later for you? I find that really curious, because endings are usually one of the parts that come to me earliest. Very often before the middle and beginning even.

      That’s the one. The protagonist is in a wheelchair from some later point on, so there’s definitely not meant to be any sugarcoating.

      My usual approach is to think about the ending once the draft is about 80% done, in terms of page count. That works well for me if it’s not the definite ending for the entire series.
