Okay, , what are you working on? Tell me about your current WIP! (Or, if you're like me, *one* of your current WIPs...lol)

 

@VenessaG

300,000+ years in the future on an abandoned Earth, an ancient creature awakens from the depths of his catacombs to the sound of human voices and recolonisation of the much evolved planet. Intent on re-establishing an ongoing food source, he sets out to vanquish rival Sourcebloods and assert his dominance over the settlers. But, with a war still playing out between factions in other quarters of the solar system, all is not quite what it seems (Unofficial)

@TheStorySmith ooOOooOOoo! That sounds *excellent*! :D How far along are you?

@VenessaG

Over halfway. but I'm only aiming for 20-22k. I'm not officially doing nano this year, as I want to take my time with it, but plodding along each day while everyone else is hammering it out helps.

@TheStorySmith Hey, that's excellent! I'm doing NaNo, but I know I'm unlikely to make the 50k. I always join anyway, because the goal is just to have more words at the end than the beginning. So great job! :)

@VenessaG

I've also got another WIP that is a previous Nano project at around 75k atm. But I have been struggling to properly finish it. I need to be relaxed when I write fiction, and especially if I'm writing humour, which this has a more humourous thread to it than my other projects. The current social climate isn't conducive to that.

@TheStorySmith I feel that in my bones. I've struggled with my writing for the last several years. *sending you good writing mojo*

@VenessaG 😊

i just try to remember that Tolkien took 13 yrs to write LOTR, and much of that was interrupted with the war. This is our generations' war period (as in, the strife connected with war, such as economy and disruption/division. Let's hope it doesn't go any further south!)

@TheStorySmith That is SO true! (re: war period) Good vibes for ALL of us!

@VenessaG
Twatter being left to fester in its own faeces will probably be a good thing. Let the freaks hate on each other and bury themselves in their own 💩 while the rest of us get on with building more constructive things together.
