This has been a crazy, crazy week. We’ve decided to make some pretty radical changes to our lives next year so I’ve had a hard time concentrating on work. I’ll skip the details about the changes for now but I’m really looking forward to next year!

Writing.

I re-named this part, instead of Plotting it’s now Writing and will hold anything and everything about coming up with and writing new stories.

Not a lot of actual progress this week, but I have made some HUGE progresses when it comes to understanding my own process. My main focus at the moment is collecting raw material and ideas for the trilogy I’m working on. I will also focus a lot on getting in to a solid writing routine that will include a lot of free writing and writing exercises.

Revising.

Well, since a lot has happened this last week I haven’t done as much revision as I had wished. But I think I’m doing pretty good anyway. I might not have revised as many pages as I had wanted to but I have come up with some solid ideas that will make the story better.

As to the plan of getting the story ready for December 1st, well… that’s not going to happen. My head isn’t in the right place at the moment to reach that date. I won’t set a new date but I’ll keep working on it and make it the best I can. When it’s ready it’s ready. No stress.

Plotting.

I’ve been working on my Swedish folklore trilogy this week. At the moment I’m focusing on research and building the world, the culture and such. Having lots of fun with it and I’m SO looking forward to spending 24/7 in this world once Wild Magic is finished.

Revising.

Progress is slow but steady on Wild Magic. I’m a little bit behind on my schedule but fingers crossed it’ll be ready in time. If not, no big deal… I won’t rush it. Just under 70% done.

I know that I’ll have to go through it a couple of more times but I know that each subsequent pass will take a lot less time than this first one does. So I haven’t given up on December 1st quite yet.
