This week I have been working on a few projects. A few, very important, Writing Projects.
First and, I daresay, the most important is ‘The Shapeshifters’ #1. This is a third draft and has brought me a lot of challenges in itself. But you can read all about it on the article Hello NaNoWriMo and lots of ‘Shapeshifters’
thI have been writing for it during this year’s NaNoWriMo and I had already passed the 50K mark. YAY!!! Good for me!
It just seemed wrong for me to share my last achievement in all of my other social platforms and not here. After all this is my ‘Let’s talk about writing’ special place!
So this is the short video I made of the moment when I managed to write the 50K words.
It has been a source of great joy, even if it’s been quietly celebrated.
But I am aiming at 100k for this project, so that I have lots of wiggle room to edit later 😃
Blog Writing
Another of my writing projects are my two blogs. The present one and my Portuguese counterpart.
I have been writing about writing, about books, about productivity and about writer’s resources over there, and it has been fifteen years of research and content creation, that have helped me a lot on my writing efforts.
I still believe a blog is a wonderful way to share our writing. After all, we want to write and this is a mean that demands for it.
Here, on this virtual space, I have narrowed the scope a bit more. The resources I want to bring you are:
- help you define and achieve your writing goals;
- Inspire you to focus on your writing projects;
- creating the space to talk about writing;
- and sharing my writing journey.
Vídeo Scripts Writing
Launching VLook, my YouTube channel, has been transformative for me in so many ways.
And I just got my channel’s handle, @vlooksarafarinha and I am happy to put my name on it.
But back to the transformative parts of having my own YouTube channel…
First, I get to write for it, and compose what I want to say. Second, I am able to practice my English in a more inventive way. Third, it had worked wonders on my introversion and general shyness (call it traumas! It was what they were!). Four, I have been learning so much about filming, and editing, and writing for it, that it has blown my mind.
Even if I’m trying to discover what I enjoy doing, and how to do it, this process is helping me grow in so many ways it astonishes me.
So, these have been my major writing projects for this week and I did enjoy working on all of them.
But, tell me…
