Notes -
I put my existing writing project on temporary? hiatus. It was the first thing I've ever written of that length (~170k words), and though I did have that publishing offer for it, I didn't quite feel like it was good enough to put out in book form without revisions I kept procrastinating on. So I just plowed forward on a second xianxia novel instead (With a more defined book structure). After playing Black Myth Wukong, I ended up with a persistent itch to write an alcoholic monkey cultivator story and I've decided to give in and just do it. I've been on a tear, knocking it near ten thousand words per week at the moment (37k! Aiming to hit 39 by end of day!). The publisher I was in talks with for the other project is tentatively open to considering this one as well, so I'm hoping to have a manuscript for book one completed by the end of the year.
Little anxious about it, because it's been viewed by a much smaller audience to date so I have limited feedback, but it appears to be mostly pretty postive so far. Tbh it's super weird that xianxia is now kinda my thing, considering I don't speak chinese and it's not even my favorite genre, but it's just been flowing out of me much more smoothly than my urban fantasy and western high fantasy projects lately.
