Thank you so much for your upvote and support @dreemsteem, it means a lot to me.
Yes, I have been tracking my progress for quite a while. My journal is there for me to keep record of my daily doings and daily steps that I have taken to get there.
I have short term goals and most weeks I will reach three or four of them, because they are not set super high. Everyone wants 100,000SP, but what is much more important to new users is what steps we took to get there.
For me that means posting regularly. The Journal post usually contains some other bit about philosophy or life event of mine so it is not a soulless creation. :D
And then of course I have my fantasy fiction that I have quite a few readers of.
Congratulations on unlocking the slider. I so look forward to that!
I also write fantasy fiction!!! :) I tend to NOT read the work of others while I'm writing a story - because I can get so influenced by their story! It doesn't register in my head until I'm 8 chapters in and then I say... ummmmm this sounds a little bit like..... hahahahaha
so even though now i'm SO intrigued to read yours.... I'll wait for a bit. but when I get further... (maybe 2/3 finished...) we can trade stories??? hehehehe
Posting regularly is so key for a writer! and it's not even a chore... right??? It's such a joy to write! (well the writing part. not necessarily the formatting and all that haahaaha)
And i agree with you :) the big goal is crucial - but if we dont' have the little goals along the way - how do we know when we've veered off track???
Good job! Excellent :) and.... ughhhh i so want to peek at your work - but i'm NOT going to .... YET!!!
hehehehe

The fiction that I am writing has been carrying on for many years and will carry on indefinitely. Even if I had to write full time. Which makes me sad because I could be writing so much more if I could.
Need to begin doing this full time...
I think I constantly get influenced but I have a good memory so my influence is colored in by an kaleidoscope of previous works read.

Ok - that makes me happy to hear that you get influenced too! hahahaha I always toss anything that starts to sound like "something else" even though I know that there's nothing new under the sun! I'm certain that what I'm writing right now probably will remind someone of another story somewhere... lol but the concept actually came from when I was a child. So.... even if it does resemble other things... I feel confident of where I'm drawing the influence. (does that even make sense??? lol)
so you're going to be writing your story as a story with no ending??? Is that what you mean?

No. It's not that my story (stories) do not have an ending. I am a world builder. Like... really...
I am talking abouy 50% publishable and 50% background in abouy 1,000,000 words currently.
World of Kedra has 6 main projects of which Steemit has seen only Raiders of the Middle Sea. Raiders is a pulp fiction action set over 1000km away from where the big books happen. It was just meant as a marketing thing for Smashwords and DeviantArt. But then I have had way more success on Steemit so i took off the two eps on Smashwords and reworked them. Still... it is the cheap and cheerful version compared to some of the others.
World of Kedra has no less than 70 characters that have been worked out in detail, from childhood to romantic interests, from fears and phobias to hopes and dreams. Then there are at least 350 other named characters... so far.
My new CampNaNo project will probably add around 5 to the former and 30-50 to the latter.
Its only plagiarism if it comes from one source. If it comes from multiple sources it is called research! (Paraphrasing Martin here)

hahahaha i love that!!! I will definitely remember that!!! :) Mine undoubtedly come from multiple sources ! I'll try to hang onto them a little longer before I trash them in the future hehehe
and yes - I've said that always... that I create worlds (and then even live in them for a while hehhe)
but YOUR creating words is sooooooooo extensive!!!
You sound like you're creating a symphony of novels! (It always amazed me that someone could write so many separate parts for a symphony and have it come together in such beauty!!!) I think that's what you're attemtpting! a symphony of novels! wow Impressive!!! :)

I agree with your analogy! Haha! It's very good!
Yeah I have content oozing out all the sides with Kedra.
Like the Towers of Magic. Thousands of Magi, but only around 12 High Mages and about 26 Master Mages. Each one is positively story-worthy!

Wow!!! Again. Mind blown hahahaha
Sometimes I'm struggling just to wade through a chapter... So much info- how to condense.... That sort of thing! I don't know how you can keep your worlds suspended in your mind for that long without forgetting things.
Well... You DID say you have a great memory!!! Lolol

True. Though at the same time it is entirely possible to write something and come back to it years later. There is no need to recreate it. It is existing background and just work from there.
