Few weeks back I visited Comic Con Prague. As you can imagine I spend most of my time in the Book line interacting with authors and listening to their talks. Over the past five years I have drifted away from writing the more I became focused on coding Literary Universe. One of the key takeaways from Comic Con for me is that one should write for at least a year to grow the necessary habits, but most of all to write yourself out to get enough experience and find ones style.

Given all the stuff on my plate it is going to be a challenge, but it will be absolutely necessary. Not just for Literary Universe, but for myself. One of the main reasons why I build Literary Universe to facilitate my writing. Another is that I love to build my sci-fi universe and it is in many ways relaxing and cathartic.

I plan to start today, the 1st May, so that I have a nice starting date from which to measure my progress from. It means that I need to temper my mind and habits. Most of which is to build a schedule and keep to it. Up till now it has often been spurs of imagination and writing energy. That needs to be tempered into a fine sword it I'm to succeed in this endeavor.

Part of this year long exercise will be also building everything else around the writing. Utilizing all the stuff in Literary Universe that I build over the years and that we are going to build in the coming year to get people to my stories and universes and improve in everything else.

The plan right now is to primarily write in my Struggle for Balance universe and a new one Isekai/fantasy universe that I'm building as a relaxing fun side project. I hope to put together few different stories in this coming year, all for free since they are experiments. There probably won't be anything published for a month or two as I prepare enough content to have regular releases.

As I go along I will also be writing guides and help articles for Literary Universe how to get the most out of the system. Hopefully with feedback and input from other writers and users.

Wish me luck and if I can persevere then in a year let's have a debrief!
