Writing - January 2021

[smallhobbit]

It's been a quiet month for writing so far - I've written about 7,500 words so far, but that's fine - it's been balanced by a lot of craft, especially knitting listening to audiobooks.  And I haven't had much that I've particularly been interested in writing.

My heroinebigbang is coming along nicely - I just need to tie it up and that will be just over the 5K I signed up for.  I do however need to Do Something with my main OCs, which may take more words than I'm planning...

I've joined a new flash fiction community, which looks like it could be fun: flash_fiction   I'm thinking of using it to expand various 'verses I currently write in.

whatif_au had a Role Reversal challenge.  It's not a category I'm a great fan of, particularly to write, so once again I took refuge in Hamlet and made Hamlet and Horatio female, while Ophelia was male.  The outcome wasn't quite what I initially expected : Limited Choices

And having really enjoyed E C R Lorac's books for ficlet_zone  I decided to have a go at writing Chief Inspector MacDonald, who, as far as I can see, had not yet been acknowledged by AO3: A Brand New Bed of Roses

All of which brings me to 997 works on AO3.  I have my chocolatebox ficlet, plus two treats already submitted, so by the middle of next month I will reach the 1,000, although I suspect it will happen before then.

Hee! I only have 96 works on AO3 but in my defence a lot of them are novella or novel length. Well done, anyway! You bring a lot of people a lot of pleasure with your miniature but perfect ficlets!

I wouldn't have the interest to write anything as long as you do. We're all different - hooray. I'm happy if one of my silly ficlets make someone smile.
