Storytime with Rachel F Hundred

When life gives you lemons…make lemonade to drink while writing

Normally I do a review of 2023, but quite honestly, last year was pants. 

Of my writing projects, I only managed to get 7 new stories posted (10 if I’m generous and include the 3 stories in A Future in Motion series which were posted for a combined International Fandom/Evil Author offering), my original fiction went nowhere and my work has been beset with difficulties. The root cause for all of it all is my health. I have chronic conditions which have been made worse by age and infections creeping into the mix. 

The result is that going forward in 2024, I am making some life changes including completely changing up the work side of the equation. Part of the preparation for that has been to create this website as a home for all my writing. I’m planning on making good use of it over the coming months.

To briefly look back, the highlight for me this year has been that I have managed to post something for each Big Moxie challenge I’ve taken part in: The Gift, The Case of the Missing Werewolf, The Best Deal, The Only Choice and A Different Path. 

Looking forward though, I will be focused on the following:

Fanfiction:

• My A Step to the Right series. I’ve begun rewriting the second part and hope to have a sneak peek available for subscribers for International Fandom/Evil Author’s Day.
• My Aftershocks series. I’m determined that 2024 will be the year I complete Season 8.
• Continuing to take part in the Big Moxie challenges over on Writing and Junk.
• Seeing where my muse takes me…

Original Fiction:

• Rewriting a novel I wrote a few years ago to freshen it up and getting it published on Kindle.
• Aiming to do a short story per quarter.

Reviews & Articles:

• I’m definitely planning to review Marvel’s Echo series this month (edit: done!), the new series of Doctor Who in May, and Deadpool 3 in July. I’d like to review something every month, but I’m not going to force myself to watch or read something just for the sake of it.
• Opinion articles on topics that come up in the news.

I also have a couple of professional writing projects slated for 2024 so lots of writing in my future which makes me happy.
