Here's the latest chapter.
A quick shout to all the hard-working W'pad writers who are creating, polishing, completing work - and diving back into the mess of creating all over again without hesitation.
Many writers fit that description - most of them are women who are turning out fully developed worlds, working from fresh concepts seemingly without effort. They don't complain, they just keep working.
I could never name all the scribes who inspire me, but Australian scribe @donnaf1828 is out there killing it repeatedly with a wide range of work. I highly recommend, and if you can figure out her secret I'll pay to know what it is. My theory is, she doesn't sleep : )
Those of you who are engaged and kicking ass without stopping to wait for people to pat you on the back: you are my heroes. I know you'd be doing this with or without an audience, with or without likes and votes.
If I left @donnaf1828 on a desert island, I guarantee she'd put all her efforts into making her own paper, her own ink, her own pens from the bones of predatory species, and her own bamboo writing gazebo - drinking foraged tea from coconut husks and staying engaged in her rich creative world, instead of actually trying to get off the damn island : ) (if rescuers did find her, she'd defer evacuation, asking for just one more week "to finish this damn book").
The work comes first. The work is the only thing, and the example you set by treating this as a writing site and not a needy social-media suck is pure rocket fuel to the rest of us.
And a very hearty welcome back to our man @NickAdams68 . There are good people out there who put others first and Nick is one of those good people.
