New Year Resolution Mega Thread! (2024)

[Deleted member 68927]

1/04/2024. I managed to edit a total 1,300 words yesterday and today . Still halfway through finishing a whole chapter, but hopefully I finish it by today

You go, Verdante! Don't push yourself, least you burn out. The book will come together on it's own. Happy writing!

Progress: I haven't missed a chapter yet. I achieved Rising Author, and I've been off the forums more.

Week 1 summary

• followed schedule
• didn't skip workout despite the need to replace the equipment, because it broke

Note to self: don't cheap out on exercise stuff

 

[Deleted member 68927]

@DannyTheDaikon working out is really hard. Make sure to have rest days, and not to overtrain.

6.1.2024:

Did my hour, felt good about that.

Happy writing, everyone!

I did my hour today, but it was hard. I brought it on myself, since I didn't do the duolingo before I cooked the lunch. Three hours of cooking, I still feel tired. But my brother said everything was tasty, and my Brazilian cheese bread got eaten up during the lunch. I sort of wish I took a picture of the platter with the 24 buns...

Happy writing, everyone!

Did my hour, reviewed my past mistakes as well. I think I got bumped up to the league of the overachievers because it is day one of the rankings, and there are some people who have 700 exp. They got it in an hour.

I will probably end up demoted because I sure as hell can't keep up with that. Most of what I do during the sessions is reviewing, and that gives you like 10 exp.

But that won't be too bad, and I am happy with my 700 exp myself. (The owl gave me Super Duolingo for three days, and I have been cheating with the personalized practice option XD. It is like 4–5 sentences, and you get 20 exp for them. Let it not be said that the Owl is not pay to win. But win what? Bragging rights? Pfft.)

How are you progressing?

Did my hour! =) Now I can just read until it is time to cook. And, we finally have snow here! So happy about that.

How are you progressing?

You know what quick update.

1. Write two chapters a week. I know this isn't much, but I want to make more content this year.

This has been successful so far, but next week is going to be the big week.

Did release my new short story this week, so that was fun.

My first story continues after its small break (I like to take breaks between arcs to plan stuff). That story will have two chapters a week, so if I want to keep my second story updating, I will need to do about 2.5 chapters a week.

But overall, things have gone well.

@Bobple Good job! How long are your chapters, if I may ask?

10.1.2024

Did my hour of Swedish! Sure, it was just revising today, but I got the hang of two words which were giving me trouble, which is nice.

Happy writing, everyone!

Congrats!

My chapters? It depends on the story.
Triffic-Soul chapters (On average) are 800~1500. I do reach 1800~2000 for the big important ones, but that happens rarely.

Stargazing Witch are a 1400~2000, usually 1500 on average.

Did my one hour of Swedish (and a little on top), even though the site was buggy! =)

Happy writing, everyone!

 

[RiaCorvidiva]

Just woke up on the 4th and already at 9,000 words for the year. More than on pace for the half million so far.

Eleven days in, 36,000 words written. On pace for an 80,000+ January to start the year.

 

[Deleted member 68927]

@RiaCorvidiva So glad you are on track! Keep on rocking!

12.1.2024

So, I did my one hour of Swedish, and I think that I will have to do a major review tomorrow because I got dished out too many new words at once. But, tomorrow I have a review, one lesson, and the end lesson of the section, so I think I can manage it.

Happy writing, everyone!

 

[RiaCorvidiva]

And another 3600 today to put me over 40,000, with a chance for another few hundred this evening before I go to sleep.

 

[Deleted member 68927]

@RiaCorvidiva that is a whole book worth of writing! Keep on rocking!

13.1.2024

I did my hour, it was a review day.

Happy writing, everyone!

 

[Woolen_Monkey]
