September Round-Up

[k_a_webb]

September was a good month for posting, as I did manage to post almost every day, although I didn’t post as many stories as I was hoping to. That’s something I aim to remedy in October, because there are plenty of stories I want to write. I was just focusing on the world building posts, as there was a lot to work on, and it’s still not complete. It wasn’t as good personally, but I think things are looking a little better now. I’m going to have to wait and see.

I downloaded a couple of new plugins that I’m playing with, so there may be some changes happening (and then unhappening, depending on what works and what doesn’t). Hopefully I won’t be updating the site again for a while, apart from normal admin work, but we shall see. There are too many cool plugins to play with and I want my site to be as easy to navigate as possible.

World building posts this month: the World Walkers; Athare; the World Walkers Web, part 2, part 3; Allies and Enemies within the Thirteen Families; World Creators; The Fae and Magic, part 2 (spoilers); The Nox Gadael, part 2; The Alati Felis; Siaral; Aerith; Kniroch; Beshaki; Kankirin; Raenarin; Janoch; Saethera; Gaelom; Labyrinth; Pendragon; Edge; Oracle; Sterling; the Stormkin; Athare Calendar; Witches; Sorceresses; Sorcerers; Life Clay; the Breeders; the Lumen; the Umbra; the Arctus; the Dragons; the Unicorns; the Pegasi; the Phoenixes; the Elemental Birds; Linda; Magics of the Web; and Quiar (written by Elizabeth Barrette). Some are still works in progress, but I’m happy with the work I did.

Stories this month: Riordan: Making Worlds?, part 2; Mira: Leaving Raenarin, part 2; Astrid: Arriving in Little Hill, part 2, part 3; Elodie: Recording Souls; Panthea: Back on Kniroch; Liadan: No Choices; Zoe: Meeting the Nox Gadael (part 2), part 3; Vanessa: Travelling Back in Time?; Jason: Wish Magic; and the Deities World/World Walkers crossover: Watching Mab with Hecate.

Other posts this month: Being the Author: Feelings; Character Profiling; Thinking about World Building; Livejournal; Character Profiles; Credit Count Posted; the World Walkers collection and rambling; the World Walkers Collection Listing; Plans; October; Stories to Write; and Site Update.

This months prompt session was both extremely successful and extremely unsuccessful. I got a donation of £10, which is the most I’ve made during a session, so I’ll be having a poll to work out what I should do with it, but I’m getting less prompters with every session. If anyone has any input as to why I’m getting less prompters it would be really useful, because I thought this one would be more successful due to my new linking policy. I’ll be having another session at the end of this month, with the same policy, and I’m happy to take early prompts from people via email or PM.

The surprise draw has very few entrants this month, so if you commented on my work this month or linked then send me an email. I shall have a surprise present for everyone and it will be a little more personal than other draws.

Plans for October: post once a day for the Donor House month; send off more outstanding stories (didn’t do too well at that in September); post more World Walkers world building and stories; and post more stories in general.

Goals for October: write at least 50,000 words (I have no idea how many words I wrote in September, but I think I must have hit the goal) and get £50, at least, in donations.
