748. I feel like I am keeping a thread alive for no reason though. I can stop, someone just tell me to.
Then I guess I'll post something so you won't feel lonely . . .
In March, I averaged 1,231.35 words per day which marked a continuous month-to-month improvement for the year. That changed with April where I dropped to an average of 216.90 words per day. I improved in May with 352.10 words per day. Though, for yesterday, June has dropped to 270 words per day.
I wrote one standalone short story (150 words) in May. Otherwise, I have been working on the lame space opera and a superhero tale. Not sure how to fix the lame space opera so I keep making things worse by adding to it. All of May and most of April was spent working on one chapter (12k) which, until Monday, had no characters from any other part of the book. Really, really need to straighten it out but when I start to try to outline it or in any way order it, it's like, ugh, this may be a lost cause. On the other hand, I know it's doable but on the other other hand, ugh.
As for the superhero tale, well, this is technically the second. The first is done and this was entirely separate but, early on, I figured out how to tie the two together in a (hopefully) unexpected way. Though, it's also open in that maybe they do tie together and maybe they don't; the reader can choose their own head canon.
In any case, I sometimes feel as though I am putting words on the (virtual) page but not really writing.
Meanwhile, I've also been working on the cover art for the serious space opera, as well as trying to finish the intro and about the author section I have been neglecting for a while. Of course, not having the lame space opera anywhere near completion throws a wrench in my plan of releasing the two within thirty days of each other.
Then again, I've been thinking of not putting the serious space opera on Amazon at all and doing something different instead. On the other hand, it's a semi-semi-sequel to my other books, so seems like I should have it there. Or put it up for 90 days in KDP Select then yank it out completely? Dunno. Still have time to decide though.
