New Milestones Thread

Earlier today I completed and submitted my first real story (besides a 750-worder) for three and a half months.

That might not seem significant to people who only publish a few stories a year, and it might seem like a weird flex to people who publish every week, but for me it feels like turning a corner. It's like I've rediscovered something that I'd lost all that time.

It’s the little wins that matter in writing. I totally get where you’re coming from.

After publishing Peta/Sam last year and thinking I was one and done, I have just entered a stand alone story in that universe for the valentines day contest.

So there’s my milestone - I have written and submitted my second story to Lit. Hopefully published soon.

And that, like you, was leaving it for a bit to then write something new.

Well done!

Been there. Last year I published 170,000 words (8 stories) between Jan and July, then a single 12,000 word story in December. Between July 14th and December 12th I published zero stories. It really knocks your confidence - I hear you. Well done for getting back on the muse.

I second that. The muse comes and goes. I didn't publish a single story in 2025. It's a new year and I'm shrugging off the old and making plans for the new.
 
Talk about confusing the fuck out of someone. I open New Milestones from my Alerts, and see this.

A strange and disquieting tale. Three solid stars. Not quite four.

I just want to know, what's JPB NOT BOB mean?
