After seven weeks of hard work, I have officially completed the first draft of Operation Ark. Operation Ark is a series of interconnected sci-fi short stories about humans surviving the nuclear apocalypse on space stations that are secretly genetic test facilities!
While there are plenty of rewrites and editing sessions ahead before I eventually publish this book, this is a huge milestone. Not only have I completed this draft quite quickly, but I must say the quality of this first draft is relatively high!
My next step is leaving this draft alone for a full month before I come back to edit it! I think it is important to let a draft sit before you jump right into it.

I’m so proud of you! I’m editing my first draft right now and there are so many mistakes I cried. My entire 5th chapter was in present tense. The book is in past 😭😭😭😭

Good job! Seven weeks on a 132,000 word frist draft is impressive. That's like Stephen King amounts of writing. Think he does 180,000 in three months or something.

congrats on the finished drafts! that's such a huge milestone and you should definitely take tine to celebrate. how do you push yourself to write as often/consistently as you do? i'm a college graduate and while i do have a lot of time in the day, i usually end up spending it playing games with friends or streaming. though i have started to write for at least 30 minutes every day, it never feels like _enough_ to me in comparison. hearing how you brainstorm your stories and go through your writing process has been really fun so far and it gives me some ideas on how to improve my own process

@@Raikeran I start with 15 minute writing sprints and a lot of time that helps inspire me to write more! I’m also really competitive with myself, which isn’t always great 🤷🏻‍♂️

​@@patrick_nilan that's interesting! taking on challenges isn't usually my thing but i know it helps kick you into action and really push for a certain goal. i actually used to do writing sprints in a few discord servers so i guess i could try those again. i'm also gonna see what i can do to make my office space more productive for me.
