Kobo Writing Life

Wrote a 3,678 word short story rough draft today. It's a sweet story, with a young apprentice who rescues a dragon from a unicorn.

It needs revision and I'm not sure what I'll do with it after that. It's been suggested that I find markets to submit stories to and try doing that, but I've seen more articles of magazines shutting down due to AI crap than calls for submissions lately.

Kobo Writing Life

One of the issues I get frustrated with in #writing #fiction is a problem I think only #writers of fiction set in relatively present day in our world deal with.

It used to be that tech moved slowly. But now it's so quick. It changes in just a few years. And if your book takes even 3 years to write, edit, and put out, you worry about some of it feeling dated. And not just the tech; the pop culture references too. ;_;

Anyone else? Just me?

#PennedPossibilities 7 — Which bad habits would your MC like to change?

Marcus - Deflecting hurt feelings with humour and sarcasm instead of talking it out.

Ellis - Shutting down anyone who wrongs him. Being quick to judge and not so great at forgiveness. Getting into pissing contests - figuratively speaking.

Jack - His inability to say no to someone, even if it means he ends up doing something he hates or that hurts him.
