@stella As I’ve had to commission a few middle grade covers for my books, it’s something I like to see. Well done, again.

This morning I've written 1100 words on a festive action short story. The word count is ticking upward and I've only covered the approach to the mission target. Will need a bit of a scene jump, and then into the mission proper. My current estimate is about 10k for the final product. Hoping to get it to 5k on Wednesday, but I may need to do a bit more to move it along.
"The meteorite burned toward me like an incoming missile. I hit a command code, another thing I’d memorized, another leap of faith. A dozen explosive charges blew through the thin skin of the jet, sending panels flying and killing the aerodynamics. It was worse than I expected. The jet became unresponsive barge, sending us far from the planned dump site. But to keep the illusion of impact, I threw us into a barely controlled dive."

@maloki Hey, there. It’s been a busy weekend, but I plan on posting things about writing when I’m back working during the week. I’m still getting my head around mastodon as well, so bear with me!

I have my first full writing day in a week tomorrow. I must get a good 1000 words down on a short story. And then it’s nose to the grindstone on a big fantasy work. So much cleaning up to do on that project that it can get disheartening.

@Ailantd I love how you convey so much with a few lines. Can I ask what your process is? Do you draw a wiggly line and just expand, or do you have something in mind from the start?

@AlexW@mastodon.nz and how do you get your works out? Trad, indie, still deciding, hiding your writing in a drawer?

@AlexW@mastodon.nz just released my urban fantasy book 2 for 9-12 year olds. I have a sci-fi Christmas story I’m writing for an anthology. I’m about 25k into a sci-fi action-mystery (for adults), and I’m in a difficult heavy edit phase for a fantasy with a hint of sci-fi elements (also for adults). In short, it’s hard to juggle everything!

Enjoying some peace after a crazy week of a new release (The Steele Bite) and a book fair. Next comes practise fights in full armour for a medieval fair. I’m too old for this!
