Welcome to the eighth writing club update!
Happy mid-February. I hope folks are keeping safe and comfortable. I managed to experience some crunchy snow finally, so that’s nice. Crnch crnch crnch, snow underfoot. In my list of sonic experiences this rates as high tier, maybe even higher than crunchy leaves.
If I had one piece of unsolicited advice it would be to take a long walk with only a notebook for company.
Okay that’s enough musing. On to the stars of our show - the Writers:
Please see last month’s post if you need to refresh your memory on what your goals were.
I can’t wait to hear your updates!
Well, seeing as today’s the last day of February, I should update you all on what I’ve done and what I’d like to do. I’ve progressed on my thesis. I’ve also started writing a story. I don’t know how long it will be, though.
It’s about a stable boy who dreams of becoming a knight. He falls in love with the Count’s daughter.
I’m tackling themes of persistence despite the certainty of failure. I believe the theme somewhat resonates with Solarpunk. Indeed, as we all know, recent efforts tackling the climate crisis are more about harm reduction than preventing harm outright.
Persistence is certainly what we need from our stories right now. I’m really curious about your choice of a kind of romantic medieval (?) setting to explore your themes.
Glad to hear things are progressing with your thesis. :)
