@John_Wayne_host What about it caught your attention? Setting, characters?

[Gates of Armantar @GatesofArmantar]

This week has been a much better writing week, mon-fri total word count +11,888.

I generally don't write too much on a weekend but I'm very happy with this week's progression.

Total project word count 88,200.

@Joyce_S_matt What about my projects inspires you to feature me?

[Gates of Armantar @GatesofArmantar]

New #youtube video is now live, as always a nice laid back human approach to content creation.

Today I'm going over my (very basic) #writing set up.

I enjoy filming and the editing process for #youtube videos but I hate the making of the thumbnails, they are of the horrible

[Gates of Armantar @GatesofArmantar]

#youtube video has recorded and edited, thumbnail tomorrow and aiming for it to go live either tomorrow or Thursday.

Plus I was able to sneak in a cheeky little +1000 words as well.

#youtube filming today, so it will be a low word count day but that's cool.

What topics would you to see a hobbiest #writer address?

[Gates of Armantar @GatesofArmantar]

After a few days off of not doing much, I'm looking at you Fridays +600 word count.

We're back to a much more respectable and productive day of a nice +3,374 words. The end of this project is on the horizon.

[Gates of Armantar @GatesofArmantar]

Only a few chores and errands to run this morning before a much needed #writing session, minimum of 2 hours, finger stretching, keyboard clacking, word splatting... let's go

Dear #writingcommunity if you are working on a manuscript, unpublished and don't use AI in any aspect of your work what you upto?

[Gates of Armantar @GatesofArmantar]

@AshfordStories Thank you, it's going to take some planning but I think it could be an interesting journey 😊

[Gates of Armantar @GatesofArmantar]

I think after #writing the first draft of #novel 3 I may start a new episodic project, just to throw myself out of my comfort zone

#writingchallenge #amwriting

[Gates of Armantar @GatesofArmantar]

I feel that #writing and not using what you have written is sometimes more important than keeping what you wrote.

2 days of work and I cut 8,300 words.

#writingcommunity #novel #author

[Gates of Armantar @GatesofArmantar]

I wouldn't say it's been a good #writing day. It's been a day of writing but have ended up throwing two chapters into the Deleted Scenes folder and possibly going to do the same with what I've just finished. Writers problems.

-6k words (ish)

[Gates of Armantar @GatesofArmantar]

No #youtube video this week, back next week for a something nice and simple like my current #writing set up... maybe, unless you have any suggestions?

#amwriting #novel #author #writingcommunity

[Gates of Armantar @GatesofArmantar]

Can we get a do over for this week please 🙏

And I mean everything that has gone wrong this week needs to magically get fixed

[Gates of Armantar @GatesofArmantar]

@Hexakin Same, the chapter or the back half of the novel has ended up taking a different direction than I originally planned but so far it's working and enjoying every moment writing it 😀

[Gates of Armantar @GatesofArmantar]

Some days you're pigeon, other days you're the statue.

Today was a statue day 🫠

Regardless of the current situation it's been a +3k word #writing day, which is a small positive.

[Gates of Armantar @GatesofArmantar]

@Hexakin Close to it if I'm honest. I try to cap chapters at around 3.5-4k words, this one may run over a bit.

Everything seems to be going down in this chapter so excitement levels are rising. I'll finish the chapter later today, fingers crossed
