Summary:

All Michael Burnham wants is to be an explorer and to pay back the debt she seems to think she owes the Universe.

All Christopher Pike wants is to be a good man and to serve others.

Enter the Seven Signals, a murder mystery, galaxy-ending peril, and each other.

Surprise !

Every time something took me away from it, I felt guilty, even if it was worthwhile pursuits like my family, my child, my mental health. Even for things like my job, things that kept me too busy and kept me from writing, or being able to properly form words and paragraphs, made me feel guilty.

I decided to use NaNoWriMo as a model, hoping it would help spur me on and get me back riding. I was never thrilled that I was only posting a chapter once a month or every six weeks.

Using NaNoWriMo as a guide, I'm thrilled to share that I have written 20,000 words since the beginning of this month. I have not been able to write on weekends, but that's okay. I have found other times to write, and other tools. On drives by myself into the city for work, I have been using voice to text. I have been narrating an audiobook of my own work, and counting it as writing.

To be honest, that is how much of chapters 10 and 11 of "Sun" have been written.

And throughout it all @no-c-riously has been a constant source strength and support and encouragement.

Maybe I'm turning over a new leaf, maybe I'll be able to get back to cranking out work the way I did in Part One of the Doubtverse. But even if I can't, I want to try and hold on to this feeling of pride, of satisfaction, of accomplishment.
