So far so good. I've managed to write just over 8,000 words, which puts me on track to get 30,000 by the end of the month. #Writevember

My WIP is very much inspired by my experiences at Uni as well as A Wizard of Earthsea and One Piece. #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompt #WriteSky

Not really. Especially once I reached my teens. It was very freeing and I cherished that little bit of independence.

Also occasionally scarring. I recall reading a few books that gave me nightmares. #Bookvember #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Young Raven: Update #4 One week into November and I have managed to write just over 7,000 words for my Young Raven manuscript. That means Iโ€™ve earned myself a day off, which I can use to write and post this little โ€ฆ

Words are written, which is half the battle. Keep it up @elhark.bsky.social!

I write for myself, but try to keep a balance between the stories that I find enjoyable to tell and the stories I wish I'd read when I was younger.

Day 3 of #writevember and 3,000 words written.

Are they good words? Impossible to know. That's for future me to sort out while editing. My job is just to put words on the page.

All of the the apprentices at the University are draped in yellow and the Dancing Daffodil club is painted several eye-watering shades of yellow making hideous to behold and impossible to ignore.

There's a single orange object and it's a questionable jar of pickles. #NovemberWorldbuilders

This looks fun and it might help me polish up my manuscript, Little Bird.

Red is the colour of blood and fire. Of vengeance and violence. Of twisted justice and old feuds. For Sibyl, red is the colour left behind by death. It's the colour of grief. #NovermberWorldbuilders

Day 1 of #writevember and I've managed put down 1,000 words, which is a good start. Hopefully I can keep up the pace.

Day 22 of working on my second manuscript. In my excitement to get back to writing I 'forgot' how much work I needed to get done before I can properly get stuck in and just write the manuscript.

Rejection Update I am going to be taking a break from reviewing my rejection letters. It isnโ€™t because Iโ€™ve stopped receiving them, Iโ€™m currently sitting at nine rejections, or that I am giving upโ€ฆ

It isnโ€™t me, itโ€™s you. @elhark.bsky.socialโ€˜s update on rejection reviews.

Day 1 of working (primarily) on my second manuscript. After weeks of editing I am so happy to get back to just writing, because grammar doesn't count until at least the second draft. #writing #grammar #indiewriting #booksky #elhark
