Whpearson recently mentioned that people in some other online communities frequently ask "what are you working on?". I personally love asking and answering this question. I made sure to ask it at the Seattle meetup. However, I don't often see it asked here in the comments, so I will ask it:
What are you working on?
Here are some guidelines
- Focus on projects that you have recently made progress on, not projects that you're thinking about doing but haven't started, those are for a different thread.
- Why this project and not others? Mention reasons why you're doing the project and/or why others should contribute to your project (if applicable).
- Talk about your goals for the project.
- Any kind of project is fair game: personal improvement, research project, art project, whatever.
- Link to your work if it's linkable
I read Talespinner. I love it. (It includes perhaps the best prose kisses I have ever seen, among other charmingly evocative description and engaging characterization.) Please do not fall into the commonplace trap of abandoning your fic in the middle to work on something else. I want to read the rest of it. Also read and liked Olive Branch, though not as overwhelmingly much.
Thank you! I am pretty bad about abandoning free-time projects when a new idea comes along, but I've promised myself and a few other people that this will be finished come hell or high water. (And I have a test-reader who gives me no peace when I've been taking too long on an update...)
