Here we go again...

Same boat here. New novel. Fun stuff! Congrats man.

Sat Nam! (Literally "Truth Name"--a Sikh greeting)

May you both do well!

CGs and onwards!

Good job Jeeves and Canton!!

Hooray!

Every time someone says they finished their first draft in a few months, I avoid eye contact with my multiple WIPs I've been working on for anywhere between six months to two years.

That is: congratulations!

Good work!

After reading the title of this thread I have dolly parton warbling in my head. You, the op, are in Melbourne and look like you just started growing your facial hair, so you probably don't get the reference, to which I say, Google it, you young whippersnapper.

Congrats BTW.

I think you kinda look like Josh Peck in that picture. The guy from Drake and Josh xD

Guess that shows my age too.


Anyway congrats on the new WIP!!

Congrats! That's really fast. How many hours a day are you able to dedicate to writing? I feel like my stuff takes forever to finish because I have to work on it in the hours between when my kids go to bed and when I do.

Wow! That's fast!

Congrats on the speed!

I try to do at least 1000 words a day, but I just had an 11 day holiday so I was able to do 2000 words most days. I don't have kids and I'm recently single again so despite working full time its not that much of a strech.

Nice! I'm definitely not moving that fast, but I only have about an hour and a half a day to work with most days. I try to take a day off every now and then to make a big dent, but life gets in the way a lot. Stupid life.

I have a lot of respect for anyone who has kids who gets writing done. I have no idea how people do it.

Easy. I have NO idea what shows are on TV right now. :->

In my case: naptime! (I can only get 5-600 words done, by the time I've spent half an hour after the kid is asleep in lying on the sofa and breathing long deep calming breaths but that's more than zero.)

Although I'm cheating a bit; I work part-time and fit some fiction writing in around my paid non-fic writing, too.

Wow.

That's a stunning turnaround time to produce so much work. Kudos.
