I mentioned in an earlier post how I was considering mirroring my workflow and writing plans to the seasons. If I were following that now, I would be planning and writing in the fall and winter.

I still love that idea and expect to return to it—but not just yet. First, I need to bring The AI Anomaly into the world.

I was trying to take my time with the writing, but this story wants out and it wants out now. I guess birthing stories is like birthing babies in that respect. When the gestation is done, the baby is coming. No point in resisting it, eh?

So, I’ve shifted my focus into making this happen sooner rather than later. I’m not trying to burn myself out in the process. My goal is to write 2–3 chapters a day (on weekdays) until I have a solid draft. Once that’s complete, I’ll be able to confidently announce a release date. That way, I’ll have plenty of time for editing and feedback from beta readers.

I’m looking forward to it—and I hope you are too. This “kid” is special to me.
