Tinker Tuesday for April 28th, 2026

This thread is for anyone working on personal projects to share their progress, and hold themselves somewhat accountable to a group of peers.

Post your project, your progress from last week, and what you hope to accomplish this week.

If you want to be pinged with a reminder asking about your project, let me know, and I'll harass you each week until you cancel the service.

32725 words, and I am getting close to the end of the first draft. Writing has been consuming almost all of my free time since I broke through that one scene that was blocking me.

I have already jotted down the outlines for two smaller sequels and a completely different story, but I need to fully finish this one first. Unfinished works don't count!

Unfinished works don't count!

What matters is the journey, not the destination. Among non-professionally-published literary works, I think it's very possible that I've enjoyed more incomplete ones than complete ones.

I didn't think about serialized works when I wrote this. I meant unfinished as in something you don't think is ready to be published.

When it's a draft in your desk drawer, you can always tell yourself you can make it better. When it's out there and at least one other unrelated person has read it, you know how good or bad it is.
