Last week we tooted proposing #PitMasto, a version of #PitMad for mastodon.
We're currently developing the idea and thinking mid-January, which would give authors time to finish and edit their #nanowrimo masterpieces. (At least in theory, we know how NaNo can be. 😜 )
If you're interested in a day for authors to toot pitches for their novels and hopefully catch the attention of an agent and/or publisher, please favorite or boost this toot.
And the first draft comes to a close, at 8,230 total. Not bad.
Now I have to turn it into a story.
3,500 words today. Good progress there.
It's fun how fast you can go writing action scenes.
A productive day writing, my first in ages!
Managed to pound out 2,344 on my first draft, that ain't bad. Now to surpass that tomorrow. *flexes*
If it helps, this is the dorky Mastodon metaphor I use:
Home: my friends, who I invited in personally
Local: my neighbors, where I chose to live
Federated: friends of friends, the city
I write mostly SFF fiction with positive lesbian and/or trans protagonists, although I do the occasional romance too. I've done work for Brick Moon Fiction and have a number of stories available for free on my website:
I also have a Patreon linked in my profile, and I do #fanfiction sometimes on AO3 under the name Nezchan. I've mostly done short stories, but I'm starting to turn my attention to longer works as well.
