This weekend I finished the (very) rough draft of my hobby sci-fi novel manuscript.

115k words, 45 chapters, front to back readable.

Written in two months, but thought about for years which made the writing come out faster. It needs a ton of revision work, especially since fiction writing isn't my expertise.

Most people have to edit/revise down their manuscript, but I envision this being filled a bit more to 120k+ words.

For reasons I can't say due to spoilers, the third act was the hardest for me. For most writers, the second act is the hardest, kind of that "meh" middle. My middle was tight and fun and easy to write. But due to a couple nontraditional story structure elements, as well as the most technical action sequence in the story, the third act was *really* hard. But I managed to figure it out and am quite satisfied with it.

Now I have to revise and optimize it all.

Good morning 🧡 Congratulations on reaching this milestone, especially in such a short time! 115k words in two months is impressive. I admire the courage to include unconventional structures in the third act; that should make the narrative truly unique!

The hardest thing I've ever seen a writer do is decide to actually say it's done and release it to the world. Too many times I see them get caught up in revisions. Good luck with the hardest part!

Would be an interesting model to measure global liquidity against bitcoin miner holdings. Marathon sold down to 17,000 bitcoin in the last bear (November 2022) and now holds 10,000 more (27,000) give or take. I think price predictions and market cycles can best be predicted by measuring new supply c...
