Let us know if we missed you or if you didn't check in for a while, so we can add you. Of course joining the fun is possible at any point.

[personal profile] ysilme here: RL continues to be really stressful for me, and for the last few weeks, I didn't manage to focus on creative/fic writing, not even my usual go-to means of delving into drawer fic. I did write every day but other things, but my goal for August is to get the creative words back. Today was a decent start to that; I've been sorting through age-old fanfic snippets of my very first fandom, mainly to see what of those I want to keep for sentimental reasons as it was my very first writing and what to graciously get lost; and I actually was inspired to write a new drawerfic based on these snippets, and started with plotting and some character sheets. It'll remain drawer fic as I can't be bothered to do the necessary research and re-read the sources for a proper fanfic, but it's just the kind of fun I've been missing for some time.

[personal profile] sylvanwitch here: 356 words brought me to the end of Chapter 17 today and left our boys on a cliffhanger that I will resolve from Jake's POV in the next chapter.

Glad you found some fandom fun, even if it never sees the light of day. It's always good to discover unexpected inspiration.

Aug 2nd - Been having a crappy day, but I managed 500 words, a double and a triple drabble.

***Big HUGs back*** Thank you, dear! ♥ I find that WED is actually also helping me with this, as I find it so much easier to actually do something to get back into my writing habits/to my writing favourites with the slight positive pressure of having something to report in here every day. ^^

I don't have a check-in for you for the 2nd, so I wanted to verify the day for your check-in.
And thank you! ♥ It turns out it's also quite comforting to revisit my teenage fandom heros, I find. *g*

Ysmilme - Sorting through old fanfic snippets is always such an experience! I'm delighted that your younger self's ideas have sparked a new concept for you, and that you're taking joy in it! ^_^

Sylvanwitch - Nice! :D A satisfying cliffhanger is always a delight!

Go, you, for editing and beta-reading, both of which serve such vital roles in the process and in fandom!

[personal profile] ysilme: Oh, I'm pleased you're working on something fun again. Drawer fic is excellent for that.

[personal profile] sylvanwitch: I love ending chapters on a cliffhanger! I hope you get a kick out of it, too.


Aug 2: 1700 words! Which is an excellent wordcount on any day, and phenomenal for a workday. Still bushwhacking, but feeling more encouraged about my ability to find an end than I was yesterday.

Checking in for days 1 and 2.

Managed a few sentences across a couple projects for day 1, but I wasn't tracking word count. Whoops on me.

258 words for day 2.

And now, ZZZZZ, I think.

From: [personal profile] silveradept
Good that there's fun coming back for words. I'm checking in for Days 1 and 2, doing a lot of writing, but also grousing that this extra scene has decided to insert itself even though the work is coming due within a few days. I know what it's doing there, it's giving some other character the opportunity to do something very plot-important, but seriously, you had to intrude at this specific point?
