Hey-o, squiders, I realized I haven’t done the WriYe blog prompts. Since March, actually. Whoops! Let’s fix that.
April’s prompt: Your best writing year ever!
I’m going to interpret this to mean “if you could have your best writing year ever, what would that look like?”
(Interesting that this was April’s prompt. Seems like a January prompt, almost, like you could manifest your best year if you put it into words.)
If I had to describe my best year ever….hmmm.
I would be super productive, first of all. Get through all the stories that have needed revising that I never seem to get to. Polish everything that needs polishing. I’d love to finally get some of the stories that seem to be lingering finally out the door and into the world.
I’m actually having a pretty good year all things considered (writing wise, not natural disaster wise). The feedback I’ve been getting the last few months has been super helpful, and I’m actually making decent progress. Not as quickly as I would like–the revision of Book 1 is at about 20K, out of somewhere between 100K and 120K–but arguably the feedback is worth the slowdown in output. Better to go slow and get it right, than rush through and have to do it again.
But yes–more things done, more things out into the world. That would be amazing.
What would be your best year, squiders?
