I've been #writing every day for 15 weeks, ~3 months! I thought it was only a month!? Sometimes I might only write a sentence or two in a day, sometimes it's five hours.I've passed 30'000 words now, ~120 pages in standard UK paperback size.
Over-arching plotting is by far the hardest part; actually putting out words -- describing things, capturing moments -- I don't find any difficulty with, but I've been going through a long chunk of what I call Disney-ride exposition: An on-rails section of stopping points to explain things. This bit has been slow going, but I may just have to write it and come back another time to change it. Those who like world-building won't be short for details!
Would anybody be interested in an #ebook / PDF of what I've written so far?
You can read large chunk of it here: oldbytes.space/@Kroc/115895172… but Mastodon scrolling is probably not a good reading experience.

Imagine an hourglass, except rather than measuring hours, it counts out aeons. Its circumference is 40'000 Km (~25'000 mi). The glass walls are 100 Km (~60 mi) thick. The sand within forms a desert almost 13'000 Km (~8'000 mi) wide edge to edge.
