Preptober 2023 Progress Week 1

by Chris Illium, Mission Reports, News, Preptober, Projects, Writing

Something a little different:

This year my Preptober will take a different path than it has in previous years. I am not starting a new project during this period which feels a little off to me, though finishing an in-flight one is just as essential. Some of the normal milestones that I would typically be working through are already set, which alleviates part of the prep work, and with the time that is freed up, I will repurpose to expand and enhance the current project.

Announce Word Count Goal
Going to stretch this year and aim for 60K words.
Genre Selection
Decided that it was firmly in the realm of Science Fantasy, though definite leans towards the epic fantasy types.
Plot Formula
Chosen Story Idea
Continuing on with the Mission Reports from Illium
Synopsis Written
POV is Set

With this week’s activities completed we will be moving more into the prep phase for the activity that is coming up in November, training if you will on how to handle the low motivation and writer’s block events that are sure to happen. Stay tuned!
