Progress is happening! I'm 5 scenes behind where I should be to stay on track with my two-scenes-per-day goal, but I had a huge writing session today and knocked out a ton. I finally passed the midpoint in my WIP, and things are going WAY faster now. I love the feeling of getting involved in my own book, and I'm starting to taste that feeling again after MONTHS of feeling like I'm swimming through mud with this edit. Onward we go, with a cute tracker keeping me motivated 😂

So excited to be reunited with StoryCon folks online! My name's Ayana, and I'm a full-time author in the SFF space! One of my favorite parts of my job (and the life I've built through being a full-time creative), is that I'm always learning! Glad to be here, and as excited to share knowledge as I am to learn from all of you! Happy Spring!

You’ve made it to StoryClub. Quickly, I need your help. In order for you to get the most out of StoryClub, we have left a message for you in the "Classroom" tab of the group. Head over there and “get started” then come back here once you’re done and introduce yourself!

Hi friends! I'm JoAnne. I've been writing stories since I was six, I love ridiculously long walks, and home is wherever I happen to be at the moment. I've done a fair bit of travel and have experienced a lot of things, but I'll never live long enough to see all the places I want to see, meet all the people I want to meet, and learn all the things I want to learn. My current WIP is a teen-superhero-origin-story-meets-psychological-thriller (how's that for dashes?) and I'm feeling utterly overwhelmed by the revision process. First drafts are a piece of cake for me, but drafts two through a million make up a vast expanse of uncharted territory that's frankly terrifying. Excited to connect with and get inspiration from y'all!
