I wrote, and I posted a story. I'm still waiting to hear back from the beta reader for the story I wrote in January. I may need to poke them to make sure they've actually got the story and can open the file.

My main strategy for improving as a writer is to keep writing. Practice is the only way to improve. Sometimes I'll try writing something new, something that stretches me in a particular way, but mostly, I just write.

Waiting on a beta for my les mis fic, wrote and posted a HP shortfic, still looking for one more idea.

Aaand I don't really have any strategies.

I wrote 1.5K.

My strategy is keep writing and editing my fic. I hope practice makes perfect.

I did some planning and had a rewatch to make some notes for the fic I'm almost ready to start, still a bit hesitant about writing one of the two characters I've not written before but hopefully I'll get his voice and he'll come across as less of an idiot in the fic than he was in canon (not someone I cared for.)
Today I'm getting my recently finished fic and the notes printed off (at 57 pages the woman in the library is gonna love me), and possibly do a bit more planning done. Tomorrow I'm going to down Glagsow again for the day and while I'm down there I can make a bit of time to double check the few mistakes I have in the fic with my geography. Looking at a map did not help me at all.

The only strategy I have is to keep writing, and editing as best as I can. Doing both regularly also help me to understand my dyslexia and the 'typical dyslexic' mistakes a lot better.
