A Boy and His 3-Tailed Fox, Volume 3 is now at 29,250 words. Life has allowed me to binge write and I'm taking advantage of it.

Just an FYI, I'm more active on Facebook but I will update here from time to time. it's hard to have more than one social media platform for me πŸ˜’

I've had my hands full with elderly family, so I haven't updated as much as I'd like. However, that hasn't stopped me from writing. Volume 3 is over 23,000 words and I should finish it next year.

Volume 3 is at 21,000 words. I moved some things around in my outline so it would make more sense. Nice to get work done after getting over a nasty cold.

Angus: Stop taking photos of me and work on your story!
Me: Fine, but just one more snapshot. 😁

Volume 3 update - 11 chapters completed, over 17000 words written. The outline is over 90% done. Still a ton of work to do.

and cannot be grasped. The true purpose is to see things as they are, to observe things as they are, and to let everything go as it goes."

First drafts are always a rough and tumble, a jumble of ideas. #amwriting Whether a plotter or pantser you will almost always organize again after. A first draft is just you learning the story you want to tell. - Wrtr #Writing #writer #author #authorsky

Sundays are my favorite day of the week because it's the day I get the most done on my story. I spent all yesterday retooling my outlines, and it was wonderful.

I wish March Madness would last longer because it has allowed me to make a bunch of progress on my current novella.
