An extremely late #WRITETOBERSUNFEST update as I was away from 31st. On days 27, 28, 29 & 30, I managed the following:
2647
886
1243
921
Smashed my challenge w/c goal, clocking 43,028 words in July. VERY close to finishing the book - hopefully in the next week👍🏼

A very late #WRITETOBERSUNFEST update for days 23, 24, 25 & 26 as I have also been a bit under the weather!
2249
1214
1013
773

I’ve hit my w/c goal but not yet finished the book! I’m very close! Let’s see if it’s possible before the end of the month…

Day 21 & 22 of #WRITETOBERSUNFEST: 1825 & 2126 words 👍🏼

Ironing out some of the finer politics in the story with this current bit of action.
I’m itching to get to the editing stage so I can make sure all the plot threads knit together well.
Anyways, here’s my dog…

Day 19 & 20 of #WRITETOBERSUNFEST: 948 words & 822…

Slightly less/slower over the last two days. We’re reaching the homestretch & I’m deffs going to hit my word count target but the book won’t be finished 🙃
All good though! I knew my w/c estimate was likely off

#writingcommunity #writersky

A bit late for my Day 17 & 18 #WRITETOBERSUNFEST updates: 1480 words & 1628 words…

Just about to sit down for today’s session and it’s raining VERY heavily here, which is perfect as it’s also raining very heavily in this scene!

#WritingCommunity #writersky

Day 15 & 16 of #WRITETOBERSUNFEST: 1078 words & 1726 words…

Erm, how are we already halfway through July?! I have very high hopes that I will finish this book during this month’s challenge. Whether it’s a good book though is a problem for future Emma…

✨ #WriteToberSunFest Day 14✨

We aren’t going to talk about the week lapse. Okay? Okay.

I managed another 1k today, most of which I feel I will probably scrape later. We’ve also hit a dead end where I have no idea what happens next. 😬 #WriterSky 💙📚

✨ #WriteToberSunFest Day 7✨

I know. I’m super far behind & late late late for this update, but I did manage 1.5k on the 7th. #WriterSky 💙📚

Day 13 & 14 of #WRITETOBERSUNFEST: 771 words & 1550 👍🏼

Had a day in London for the 10k run yday so didn’t get as much done as planned (and no I did not run haha).
Today was a slower scene so need to work out how to make it flow better
Cute pic taken at the run 🏃‍♀️

#WritingCommunity #writersky

Day 11 & 12 of #WRITETOBERSUNFEST: 1146 words on both days 🤷🏻‍♀️

Shifting into the last stage now where my characters are starting to feel a little TOO comfortable…
Might be time to shake things up…

#WritingCommunity #writersky

Day 9 & 10 of #WRITETOBERSUNFEST: 1999 & 1847 words 🫠

Plot points are coming together & polishing finer details for worldbuilding. The words are down but I fear it’s going to need heavy edits. YOLO…
BUT the tag line popped into my head yday, so yay 👍🏼
#writingcommunity #writersky

Day 7 & 8 of #WRITETOBERSUNFEST: 1661 & 2457 words 😮

This book has seemingly taken over every (working) thought at the moment. I’m in the flow and SO motivated to get it finished. Is draft 1 going to be chaotic? Perhaps. But it’s all coming together in its own way!

#WritingCommunity #Writersky

Day 5 & 6 of #WRITETOBERSUNFEST: 673 & 2596 words 💪🏽

However, of those 673 I managed yday, I scrapped half. So I had to make up for it today. Our FMC & MMC are getting VERY comfortable with one another and are about to uncover a secret or two 😉

✨ #WriteToberSunFest Day 5✨

I have finally hit the 60k mark!! You know what means? Cupcake reward! 🎉

Today was a good coffee shop writing day. The words flowed effortlessly & I smashed out 3.5k. It almost puts me back on track for the month! #WriterSky 💙📚

✨ #WriteToberSunFest Day 4✨

I made the mistake of having a single drink at dinner & did not, in fact, make the peer pressure goal Twitter set me upon then. (The holiday night didn’t help.) But I did get around 550 words, & that’s more than I’ve had in weeks. #WriterSky 💙📚

Day 3 & 4 of #WRITETOBERSUNFEST: 1034 & 1026 words 👍🏼

Steady progress. Currently pushing through a rather challenging scene where a bit of lore needs to be drip fed without overwhelming the entire moment

✨ #WriteToberSunFest Day 2✨

July is throwing me curveballs already with unexpected work shifts & mundane business. The only thing I managed today was editing & scheduling my blog post draft from yesterday. I was thinking about my novel though. Does that count? #WriterSky 💙📚

Day 1 & 2 of #WRITETOBERSUNFEST: 1103 and 1439 words to kick off the challenge 💪🏽

I’d left it mid-scene prior to starting the challenge so it didn’t feel too daunting to throw myself back in. However, I’m already at a new chapter that makes me nervous!

✨ #WriteToberSunFest Day 1✨

While I didn’t actually put any new words to my WiP today, I did read through some critique comments on it, wrap up some loose ends of June, & draft a blog post. I’ll consider it a good start to getting back on track.

Dark, twisted forest background with centered white text box, partially transparent, with the words “#WriteToberSunFesf. A July Writing Challenge to get it done. Founded by @writetoberfest.”

Three by three grid mood board in tones of black, white, grey, and a medium orange. Top row from left to right features a hooded grim reaper figure, a five pointed pentacle star necklace, and a church with a tall spire. Middle row from left to right features a fiery flame, a foggy square with the words “For even Death, too, was once a man,” and a tiny seedling sprouting from the dirt. The bottom row from left to right features a dark, twisted forest, two hands reaching upwards, and a witch woman lying on her back staring at you.

I started this draft with @writetoberfest in April with #WriteToberSpringFest, it’s time to end it the same way it began. 💙📚 #WriterSky 📌

Posting my accountability thread for #WRITETOBERSUNFEST over here too ☀️

My main goal is to finish the first draft of my new high fantasy/romantasy novel and I've estimated that to mean I need to write approx 34k words!

Right, here we go people...

My Accountability thread for #WRITETOBERSUNFEST

Starting word count of 22,704. I’m hoping to write 1k a day to end up half way through this manuscript!
