Writing Update

Thought some of you might be interested that I've finally knuckled down and committed to one of my New Year's resolutions for this year - to get back into my own writing and try to make significant progress on at least one of my major ideas I have knocking around! For most of the past week I've committed myself to try and write at least 500-1000 words a day, working it in around everything else I'm doing, which has so far proven itself to be very doable. As of today, I've officially drafted a prologue and the whole first chapter of my current WIP, which together comes to about 6,328 words total. Not bad progress (helps that some days I've gone over my target), I think, and I hope I can sustain this momentum going forward. Wish me luck! I am kind of worried my first chapter is going to feel a little... stereotypical YA-ish, though some of that's deliberate; I do want to kind of set up some false expectations for where this story is going and what it's supposed to be about, before I yank the carpet out from under it in a couple of chapters. Anyway, just thought I'd share the news and see if anyone was interested!

EDIT: I also hope to have good news soon on my other, unrelated New Year's resolution. Fingers crossed!
