Blog No. 114

It’s been three weeks into the new year and I’m finding that old habits die hard. For some things, like this blog, that’s good. I don’t have a ton to write about, but here I am writing it. For working on the second draft of the edits, and restarting the novel, that’s bad. I can say that I have gotten some done, but it’s at the iffy level of writing how I ended the year. Really, that’s not too bad. A chunk of my time (both then and now) gets eaten up with editing, posting, correspondences, facebook, twitter, ello, and other social media promotion, Zine layout, meetings with other groups, physical social attendances, and so on. It can get busy, and it does get in the way, but without that stuff, I’d be writing in a vacuum with no growth, feedback, or clear method for publication. Though, last year at this time, I was in the thick of it (it being writing). I was going out to cafes in the cold evenings after work, writing for a few hours, then going home to get to the logistical stuff. It didn’t last, but it started.

Blog No 87

Adventure Worlds has been going strong for a year and a half now. I’m really proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish so far, and I’m excited for the things we are currently working on. We went from a group of friends to a writing group to a budding community with followers, regular submissions, and connections with other groups. This blog is coming along too. I’m still not sure where it’s going long term, but for now I’ve been able to hit the weekly deadline and send a lot of views Adventure Worlds way. I’d like to think I had a part in encouraging Christian to start his blog too. To top it off, we’ve now been in two local publications. Also, I may have mentioned a couple of times now, we are getting close to having our first book done and our Zine is a week away from being printed. (That’s not including Christian’s book which should be out next month).
