Tinker Tuesday for August 27, 2024

This thread is for anyone working on personal projects to share their progress, and hold themselves somewhat accountable to a group of peers. We can coordinate weekly standup type meetings if their is interest.

Post your project, your progress from last week, and what you hope to accomplish this week.


Last week's thread was quite a bit less active than the original one, but I think this is an idea worth continuing, so here we are. Though one thing that might be worth discussing is the pacing of the thread. If there's not so much activity, maybe we can go from weekly to monthly, and if anyone want's to give weekly reports, they can do so under their project's top level comment. Let me know what you think!

Whew. I've been trying to hit 2000 words a day of fiction this week, and I'm largely succeeding. Currently at 6.1k written, and I'm not even quite done for today (I consider sun-thur my workdays). The downside is it's not words for the story I'm getting paid/have a publishing offer for, but honestly, I don't really care at this point. I don't need money in the short term, and I'm having way more fun writing drunken monkey wuxia and urban fantasy than I was writing isekai xianxia.

I'm enjoying the pace, aggressive as it is. It really feels like good exercise, like I'm building that writing muscle. The downside is I haven't had any time to work on my roguelike. But hey, there's only so many hours in a day.
