2010 Fiction Word Count Week 17

Progress Bar from Writertopia

I wish my time off had been more productive according to this measurement.

Finished First Drafts

• Tin Man: Not His Kink
• Tin Man/Alice: Making Whole
• Tin Man: Don’t Know What the Other Hands Are Doing
• Tin Man: Wide Open Spaces
• Tin Man: Every Day I Am With You
• Tin Man: Medals and Luckdragons

I've had fun with the challenges, but still haven't been productive enough according to the tracker. My date for finishing 365,000 words has been pushed back to September 19, 2013. Oops.

All is not lost. I have another challenge entry for next week and a steampunk anthology contest to enter (look original fiction!) By that point, it should be clear what I will be working on next.

Tin Man: Pirates Notes 09

I don't know if people missed it, but I have started posting chapters of Tin Man: Pirates of the Nonestic. I'm trying a new for me technique of publishing at the Library and FanFiction.Net a day apart; not sure if I like it yet. You have your choice of reading platforms.

Tin Man: Pirates of the Nonestic at FF.net
Tin Man: Pirates of the Nonestic at the BookWorm's Library

Though if you want to keep reading at the Library, the easiest way to do that is to sign up at the Circulation Desk for the newsletter and then you can access the forums as well and leave reviews.

Also my poll could use some votes so I can figure out what to do about the music.

STEAMPUNK!

I will not talk myself out of this one: Steampunk Anthology Contest

So I've been blitzing the nets for inspiration in things steampunk.

A lot of these links fall under "things to read later." What I need is my cast of characters. I have a rough idea of what I want to do, really rough. More setting than plot at this point.
