Welcome to the first day of Worderlands' 700 to 7k challenge!

We'll be doing the same thing as November 2024 - daily check-ins - as everyone aims to write either 100 words or 1k words a day for the next 7 days.

Feel free to join in for as much or as little as you'd like. :)

Add me to the 100 words/day goal! Though I got 427 today! Yay! I usually don't write on Wednesdays or weekends, but I am going on a writing trip with my writer's group this weekend so as long as I get 100 words in on Wednesday I should be pretty sweet.

I'm working on book 3 in my series of novella-length retellings. This one is Alice in Wonderland. I was working on it for most of last year and somehow got absolutely nowhere, but I've made some changes and revamped the outline and I'm hoping I'll get to the end this time around.

I write mostly to entertain myself and others. Sometimes I approach slightly darker topics in my short fiction, but longer works tend to be pretty light-hearted.

Nice! *cheers on with the words and the novella-ing*

Writing trip with writer's group sounds like fun. Kind of like a retreat?

Can you remind me what the first in that series is? Was it the one I have a hard copy of? I'm not entirely awake and am blanking on the title, but I can picture the images on it...lots of purple and black and such?

That's really interesting that your short fiction tends to have more darker themes than the long.

Yeah, essentially a writer's retreat. We were doing them annually for a bit but this is our first one since covid.

Operation: Sugarplum is the first one in this series, followed by Enchanted Sleep. The one you won the copy of is A More Complicated Fairytale. XD

That's really cool. What kind of place do you go to for that? Like...mountains, beachside, something else?

Right...I remember that now! XD
