Getting Back To My Roots

Written by Kodi Wolf at 9:06 AM

I've decided to add a new category to my Progress Reports page, called Other Stories. I had originally intended to keep my fan fiction separate from my original stories, and they'll still be hosted on their respective sites, but since I'm tracking my writing on this site, I realized I do need to acknowledge when I'm working on any stories not listed on this site. I also have other original stories not listed here that I work on every now and then, so those will get lumped under that heading, as well.

I'm actually really excited to be working on my fan fiction again, particularly Xena: Warrior Slave. I'm sure most people gave me up for dead, that I'd abandoned that story, since it's been over 13 years since the last update, but I've never let it go. I was just stuck, but since I've been working on my writing skills, I was able to use those skills to figure out where I was going wrong and get past the block, which has been awesome. Since I got back to working on X:WS on the 15th, I've added over 8,000 words of new scenes (an average of about 1,450 words per day), which is about 17 pages. And according to my wife, I haven't lost my touch. :)

I'm really glad I decided to take the month off from goals (other than to write every day) and just play. I'm quite enjoying my vacation. :)
