As of the time of writing, I’m delving into enneagrams in an attempt to get closer to my characters, an idea I had taken from K. M Weiland (I bought a Humble bundle containing two of her books last year and I recently read them). I’m quite confident that I have my male protagonist peggedContinue reading “Moonlake’s Writing Updates- Mar 2023”

Moonlake’s Writing Updates- Jan 2023
I am still battling on for the WIP. Currently, I am working on adding more obstacles to Act 2 and potentially Act 3 of my story. I continue to be in my low energy phase with the WIP and I have cut down to one session per weeking day (5 times a week now) withContinue reading “Moonlake’s Writing Updates- Jan 2023”
Moonlake’s Writing Update- October 2022
To be honest, my WIP hasn’t been going well at all. I’ve lost energy for more than a year now but I’m still inching along on it. And in September, I finally found the cause! Basically, I have a bunch of missing content that doesn’t support the book structurally. Practically, that means I’m back toContinue reading “Moonlake’s Writing Update- October 2022”
Moonlake’s Writing Updates- March 2022
I’ve actually finished draft 0.82 of the WIP and I’m taking a rest for it for a while as per usual. That was in fact finished in February. I might need a little structural analysis time on it in April but I will cross that bridge when I come to it. Currently I’m working onContinue reading “Moonlake’s Writing Updates- March 2022”
Writing Plan for 2022
Trying to gauge progress has been hard for me because I’ve been inching along but I’m okay with that, it’s part of my progress. But I do have something I feel worthy to report: I’ve tallied it up and I’ve only got 34 chapters out of a total of 70 remaining. In other words, I’veContinue reading “Writing Plan for 2022”
Moonlake’s Writing Updates- December 2021
I’m currently working on draft 0.82. To be honest, I’m not making major headways in the most recent few decimal drafts. More and more, it’s about letting go of scenes that were 70% done and acknowledging that I don’t have the mentality or whatever to push it through the 100% mark right now and choosingContinue reading “Moonlake’s Writing Updates- December 2021”
Moonlake’s Writing Updates- September 2021
I’ve actually been going pretty strong ever since I got back to my WIP in July. I burned through 10 chapters in that month and for August it was 8 chapters.. Sounds grand, right? The reality is that I was leveraging 90% of this on previous notes and tying up loose notes from revision. OnlyContinue reading “Moonlake’s Writing Updates- September 2021”
Moonlake’s Writing Updates- June 2021
From the second last week of May, I had actually moved into new territory. That is, I had put aside my WIP and gone into outlining my tentative next project. So I’m currently outlining book 1 or the grandma’s story. I think I mentioned it before but somehow I decided that it will fit rightContinue reading “Moonlake’s Writing Updates- June 2021”
Writing Updates- February 2021
So this is an ad hoc writing update because I already changed my writing goals after one month in 2021. So basically I’m still continuing (being plagued) by the decimal draft process where I just cannot create even a full rough draft but have to proceed via partial outline, partial draft form for a blockContinue reading “Writing Updates- February 2021”
Moonlake’s writing updates- January 2021
I finished off last year with a draft 0.75, not quite what I had aimed at. Instead, I’m aiming for draft 0.8 to be completed by end of this year. Beyond that, I have no plans as yet, I think one year plan is sufficient as far as this debut novel is going. It willContinue reading “Moonlake’s writing updates- January 2021”
