Hello folks, welcome to the twelfth (12th) writing club update. Just to pick a random book off of my shelf, chapter 12 of Foucault’s Pendumul Umberto Eco begins with
Sub umbra alarum taurum
Which apropos of the topic of that book, is the Rosicrucian motto. Something about being under the protection of God’s wings–anyway, among other things, they were like a religious puzzle group that loved leaving little hints for fellow obsessives to follow.
Speaking of obsessed brainiacs…!
As always, all are welcome to participate in the writing club, but these are our current roster of regular participants. Those who do battle against the great enemy indolence, by their pens, pencils, or keyboards. I look forward to hearing your updates!
I’ve been still kind of lost on a temporary tech adventure as well as had a ton of unusual and unexpected in person events to attend and some paperwork nonsense. But I’m posting here anyway so I feel bad about the writing break and get back into it sooner than later 😆 my current time table is to finish drafting a book that is 25% written by about the end of the year, so while I’m still on time I have to get started with that soon so there’s a realistic chance of that working out.
rofl, this is a very valid use for a writing club. I’ve definitely been motivated in this way to write (negative reinforcement).
Also timetable you say 👀 Do you have a hard deadline for finishing your draft? You don’t have to say exactly, but I have heard time and time again that having a specific deadline can have a motivating effect.
It’s a soft deadline, but yes I want to wrap the draft before the end of 2025.
