Happy New Year, Readers!
December was…decidedly less consistent in terms of output, but a bigger rollercoaster in terms of the second half. I was not expecting to write even less this month than I did last month.
But this week overall brought my writing momentum up:
WEEK WINS:
- I wrote more across December 22nd to 28th than in the last 8 days of November, even with a zero day of Christmas.
- I drafted the rest of the first arc of A Speller’s Genesis, which starts releasing chapters on this website 5 days from now on January 6th.
- I got through the toughest section of Act 2A of Can You Spell Werewolf?.
- December 28th was my 2nd 3k day of the month, but it was the only 3k day where I worked on one project exclusively.
CHECKLIST ON THE THINGS I NEEDED TO ACCOMPLISH AND STEP INTO:
- Finals: Yes, I got those done. In terms of grades for the semester, I got an A in Intro to American Government in Politics, a B+ in my Spanish class, and a B in Research Methods in Psychology. But that semester is over, and I will be walking onto campus two weeks from now with a declared major in Pyschology.
- Act 2 of Can You Spell Werewolf? (Draft 2): My goal was to finish Act 2A and most of Act 2B this month, but I’m currently only 6 chapters away from being finished with Act 2A alone.
- Continued work on A Speller’s Genesis: Finishing the first mini-arc aka ACT 1—SUCCESS! I did a little bit of outlining and prep work for not just the second mini-arc but also the rest of the remainder of the other mini-arcs.
- I do not have a clean state off my Currently Reading List.
What am I going to do with January and the first quarter of 2026 to start turning things around?
Well, you’ll have to stay tuned for tomorrow to find that out!
