Writing's going great y'all! Turns out I'm scrapping the first 20k in favour for an unplotted beginning.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

[Sara Wikström @SaraCWikstrom]

I've set my goal. I'm aiming to write 10k a week the whole summer, starting the first week today, on a tuesday. Oh well, I got 1/10k so far.

First draft - I'm coming for you.

Current wc: 47518

Once my holiday starts (next week) I got my goal set on completing my first draft of "Shifting Realities" before the end of it. However, got some words down this weekend.

3,4k extra drafted!

current wc: 43 563

The downside? I need to start a new chapter.

I can't believe it either.

These numbers we're seeing on #PublishingPaidMe me are mind blowing, both low, highs and the difference inbetween.

This is why it's so important to talk about how much you earn. Not to brag but to make it visible so we all know what to ask for.

Holy shit. I can't believe the disparity I'm seeing under #PublishingPaidMe.

I would love to see more from white guys though. Nearly everyone talking is a woman.

I'm looking at it as an unpublished writer all like:

@AllieEllieWade Thank you!

[Sara Wikström @SaraCWikstrom]

I am the first draft of myself, therefor since I exist I'm good.

In other words, I'm on twitter now. Things I'll post: Updates on my writing because I'm writing a book, nerdy stuff and probably pet pictures. #myfirstTweet #ThingsIvesaid
