#ScribesAndMakers April 30: What's a problem you solved in your creative work this month? Oh, gosh. I think the only thing I've solved this month was getting more words written than the previous month. Unfortunately, what I got progress on was commercially non-viable. :blobcatgiggle:

#ScribesAndMakers April 30. What's a problem you solved in your creative work this month? I think I've begun to carve out some interesting questions for my MCs to answer in book 3. They were probably always there, but I think I finally found them this month. Now, I just need some time to write.

#ScribesAndMakers April 30 What's a problem you solved in your creative work this month? I haven't cared much about writing lately. But I'd always wanted to write a superhero saga, just didn't because why bother? SUPER saturated genre. This month I decided to try my hand at one just because why not, I wasn't enjoying writing anymore anyway, I might as well take a swing. Lo and behold I got to 23K words in three sessions (and a spin to make it a little different)

#ScribesAndMakers Apr 30: What's a problem you solved in your creative work this month? The problems I solved this month in my writing life were mostly about the infrastructure surrounding it: technical aspects, distribution, file acceptance, etc. I'm hoping to do more actual word-crafting next month!
