The next postcard for #FirstClassFiciton will be going out on Thursday, April 9. This postcard will feature a story by @amin. Benjamin Hollon wrote the story Those Who Breathe Easy for my anthology Overscan.

I love his work: the stories, the web projects, and #WritingMonth, which is a wonderful community effort.

Today I setup a #WritingMonth project for my new novel project that I started last month. I've got a goal of 2000 words in January (setup as of today) which I am very close to reaching, with a goal of 5000 words in February.

Check out my WritingMonth profile here which will show all current and future goals - https://writingmonth.org/~orbitalmartian/

31. Happy New Year! Take pride in what you’ve written and share the progress you've made!

The year wasn't bad. I finished another #WritingMonth project, did a lot of editing, character development and roughly know where the third and last part of the WIP will go. I like the story.

I'm not unhappy with the writing I did. I completed another #WritingMonth challenge in November and just finished rereading and taking notes, and I still like it.
I constantly struggle with my impostor syndrome, especially when I see the work of all the fabulous writers here in these communities, but I'm beginning to care less and focus more on actually finishing this WIP. So I plan not to edit too much and rather declare another writing month, maybe in April (that used to be NaNo camp time) and get to writing part 3. The pantsing does things to the plot I couldn't foresee in part 1.
