    Oooh this is neat! I’ve been writing a solarpunk/cli-fi sci-fi novel lately, as well as a serial romance that will hopefully help fund my sci-fi. My goal right now is just to keep writing weekly, and so far I’m on a 7 week streak of writing at least once a week, which is massive for me. There’s even a 23-day streak hidden in those 7 weeks that was only thwarted because I came down with a stomach bug.

    I guess my other goal is for my romance to be accepted by the serial publisher that I want to work with. But I’ve submitted my sample, and now it’s just up to them to deem if I’ll meet that goal or not, heh.

    I would also love to figure out what I’m actually doing with the cli-fi. I have vague theme and plot concepts kicking around, but I usually discover most of the story as I write it.

      Kudos on keeping up such a great writing streak! I hope the publisher gets back to you quickly with good news :) serialized romance is such a good way to pull in money from writing. Romance readers are particularly voracious lol

      & good luck with the cli-fi sci-fi, I’d never heard of that subgenre before but I love the name :p

      7 weeks wow, I’m jealous! Also I like your idea of tracking streaks by week rather than day, because as you demonstrated it’s way too easy to miss a day because of something out of your control.

      That’s a lot of goals! I’d be happy to even finish have of one of those. I’ll look forward to hearing how the weeks proceed for you as October continues. Hope they’re great!!

      PS my apologies for the late reply
