sylvanwitch here with 541 gloriously angsty words between our heroes as they figure their sh*t out and then neck like teenagers in the front seat of a car.

Poking my head above water to check in for days 3-7, and I finally got the thing that's due soon done! After having to scrap that entire extra scene because it didn't work within the constraints I had. On to the next thing!

[sylvanwitch]

CONGRATS on finishing the thing! That's fantastic! (Maybe you can repurpose the cut scene elsewhere?) YAY for finishing!

[badly_knitted]

Well done ysilme!

Aug 7th - A very stressful and exhausting day, but somehow I still managed 851 words, my usual 4 Monday double drabbles and some editing on a fic for posting.

[sylvanwitch]

That's excellent progress in any case but is especially impressive given the awful day. I hope things improve for you and that you're able to get some rest and recovery from the stress and exhaustion!

[badly_knitted]

Thanks. Fingers crossed that I can. I'm exhausted.

[sylvanwitch]

*crosses fingers and toes*

[badly_knitted]

Appreciated =)

[luzula]

Day 7: 100 words of werewolf fic; total wordcount 15,200. I'll get home tomorrow evening, after which, hopefully quicker progress.

[sylvanwitch]

I’m super impressed with your regularity during this vacation because you honestly had good reasons to be distracted and/or out of sorts. Go, you!

[luzula]

Thanks! Yes, it has been a challenge.

Your writing yesterday sounds like great fun! : D

[shadaras]

Day 7: Comments and a blog post and a fic rec for my friends. <3

[sylvanwitch]

Those are all such lovely community-building and -sustaining activities, and I LOVE it! :-)

Day 7 check-in

[the_siobhan]

Two alibi sentences. It's been a long day. Now off to bed.

Re: Day 7 check-in

[sylvanwitch]

Ugh, I'm sorry it's been a long one. I hope today is better. And YAY for alibi sentences! :-)

[chanter1944]

Tagging in for days 6 and 7.

A few sentences for each day, word count not tracked exactly, but definitely not zero for either. :)

[sylvanwitch]

Excellent! YAY! NOT ZERO is #goals! :-)

[lferion]

7 Aug — did some editing on the poem. It needs at least one more verse, I think.

[sylvanwitch]

I'm sending you inspiration for the next verse! :-)

[yhlee]

1 page/100 words (longhand, I'm estimating) on linguistics space opera, was on the road today for a visit to friends :p

[sylvanwitch]

YAY for visiting friends! And YAY for longhand words on linguistics space operas! *is intrigued*

[nafs]

Day 7: (I swear yesterday was Day 5, once again Time is Not Real) about 3/4 of a page

[sylvanwitch]

Can confirm. Time is not real. YAY for that 3/4 page! YAY!

[cornerofmadness]

It was an odd day (also how is a week gone already in August?) I got 500 words between two fandomgiftbasket and one posted. And another 500 on an original ghost story that I might not make the deadline for.

[sylvanwitch]

Ugh, I know, it's going like smoke in the wind. SO. MUCH. PREP. WORK. *sighs*

YAY for words sprinkled between two gifts and for POSTING! YAY!

Also, YAY for original ghost stories! Goodluck with the deadline wrangling. :-)

[cornerofmadness]

My prep work has literally had me in tears the last 3 days (read my bookstore screwed up, blamed me and several other profs, told the provost that and now we're trying to fix it with less than 3 weeks to go. Whee)

Thanks

[sylvanwitch]

Oh, no! Oh, that sucks! Ugh, I hope you’re all able to get it fixed, not that it should be your responsibility to do so.

[sanguinity]

I really super hope your protags enjoyed necking like teenagers. :-D

Aug 7: A few words here, a few words there... Words!

[sylvanwitch]

I'm enjoying it, anyway. Lol! (Thank you!)

And YAY for words scattered about here and there!

[regshoe]

Day 7: Began redrafting chapter 20.

[sylvanwitch]

YAY! YAY! YAY! Progress is being made! You're awesome!

[yasaman]

Day 7: busy at work today, so only managed a net of 84 words' worth of editing this morning.

[sylvanwitch]

Ugh, work. WHY must we be gainfully employed??? Go, you, for those 84 words of editing! You rock!

[carenejeans]

Day 7: 384 words, mostly expanding and rearranging the bullet points from yesterday. Progress was made. 8-)

[sylvanwitch]

YAY for progress and rearranging and bullet points and a new idea spreading its tentacles out!

[ysilme]

I'm so happy to read your words are giving you so much enjoyment! :o) ♥

[sylvanwitch]

Thank you, my dear, and I hope you're continuing to enjoy looking through your older work and finding inspiration writing things that give you comfort and joy. *hugs*
