It’s a part of paperwork for Paid. I did it before when I won the Watty for Winners. Apparently, it changed a lot since then.

I uploaded Chapter XIII of my current project yesterday. Now I just need to write the rest of XIV, which should be *checks word count* about 1000–1500 words more. I already have XV and XVI ready thanks to me being a non-linear drafter :joy:

I do have a poetry collection that I want to upload, and a poetry book I want to complete before its upcoming one-year anniversary. Maybe I should focus on those first :thonk:

Can’t wait to get back to writing and it will realistically happen this weekend! I am even having treacherous thoughts to keep writing till I have draft 1 done, before editing Raised by the Mafia for Watty.

Hmm…

Work on editing, or, work on editing :thinking:

I have one story that’s been on editing-hold. But I don’t feel like editing yet.

So…do I start a new story?

Idk.

I’m in that weird limbo between projects.

I’ve been somewhat slacking, and I really need to get on the ball again.
I’ve been taking it real slow which is good but also bad because I really want to finish this anthology story.

I am already to start the new story that has been nagging at me. I am growing impatient.

Work announced that we’ll be doing half day Fridays starting next week until Oct. Yay.

Now, how long will I be able to keep this a secret from my family so I can use this time for writing? :thinking:

I could use a good routine like going to the same place every Friday. Time to scope out candidate locations.
