Well, I'm five days deep into the 50k in 50 day challenge (so far I'm at 5174 words). I've also been blogging a lot more regularly, and I submitted a story for publication. My Associated Content articles are generating pretty steady (if low) numbers every day. I'm starting to feel like an actual writer!
My current problem:
I finished my first chapter pretty quickly. It was a lot of fun to write (although it made me realize I won't be able to let all my family read it
This week's question:
How do you balance exposition and description with action?

Keep up the good work! It's great you are keeping up with the challenge. Have a great week!
Ooh good luck with your submission!
I tend not to describe things very much. I describe when there's been a lot of dialogue and I want to break it up a bit, or I throw in tiny bits of description at one time. A book's good to have low spots, a place for the reader to rest, and I find description helps with that.
@J.L. Thanks! You, too!
@Amanda My fingers are crossed! I'm glad I'm not the only one. I like the idea of having low spots. I'll try to think of it that way.
Congrats on all that writing you are doing! And I think you can always add in more setting in the next draft. Just get down what you can now and keep the momentum going.
Momentum is such an important part of the process! I had no idea until I started this challenge.
