[Writing and random chatter]

[thesebonesaregood]

Short version of this post:
I'd like a writing accountability group/buddy if anyone is so inclined. Actually back to making words, and three good things that have come up so far this week.


Longer version
I think I am finally getting back into the swing of writing again. Last year I took a major hit in productivity but this year I've written something in January, started in on my tiny stories again and have started two other things too. It's been a nice change of pace, honestly.

I still wish I had writing accountability buddies though. That is one thing I really miss. I love both my partners but neither of them is writerly folks and I miss having that bond over making words/struggling to make the/elation over actually doing the thing.

They are crafty sorts though, between crochet and chainmaiille but it's still different and I don't share either of those hobbies with them.

Anyway.

I wanna get more into Oroboros (placeholder title for this thing I started today) and potentially go back to working on the therapy story to see if I can't either wrap it up or get further into it. Plus I have my Midnight story to do, which I think I have fleshed out in the back of my head which is good.

I also wanna do more Gemstones this week, even though i go tmy three for the month done already. We'll see if I manage it though.

Three Good Things
- Writing again has been a delight.
- Starting the habit of weekly check-ins with the partners has been really good for me.
- Going door dashing with April has been a lot of fun. We just spent 7 hours listening to music and talking and it was awesome.

I can't be an accountability partner but I wish you good luck finding one! And I'm glad you're having fun writing again.

<3333 OF course. NO worries at all. Plus tbh your posts on mentioning writing are actually really helpful in reminding me to do the thing.

I'm glad you're getting back into the swing of writing! It's hard when stuff happens and you struggle for a while... definitely been there many times. But it's always good to get back to it.

[thesebonesaregood]

Absolutely! It is a wonderful thing and I am so, so happy.

I do the write every day thing here on dw if you're interested and my by email critique group is also looking for a new member if you're interested

[thesebonesaregood]

:O That would be fantastic! Both options actually. Does the group mind speculative fiction? Especially queer fantasy and horror? And how does it work exactly? I'm so excited but I want to make sure it's a good fit for me.

Also, oh yes! i forgot about WED, I loved seeing it go around and need to join in again.

ALmost all of us write spec fic (except one) basically we do light critique about once every six weeks which gives us time to work it in our schedules but on the other hand it's not speedy either. We do under 5K at a time (most chapters are in the 103K range). Queer is no problem. I write that professionally and one member is bi (there are only 4 of us at the moment) I could probably share one of my zines with you.

Yes right now we're in luzula's blog. It'll probably come back to mine in a month or two.

Oohhh, this sounds perfect! My profic is pretty much all queer and spec fic, so I just wanted to make sure it would be okay. <3 I'll gleefully join in!

<333 Thank you so much, I need to go do the writing thing now. XD
