ysilme here: 340 words, first draft for a prompft fill for Scribbles & Drabbles 2023. Yesterday, I added 510 words to my tally.

sylvanwitch here: Today was a hiking and picnic supper day, so I crammed in some words before we left. I'm planning for my next project to be a themed short story collection, so I brainstormed some story ideas around the theme, and those bullet points came to 273 words.

Yay, words! What is this Scribbles and Drabbles thing?

Aug 25th - 1447 words. I wrote 3 more amnesty fills, a triple drabble and two 250-word pieces, and that was supposed to be it, but then my brain came up with an unexpected bonus ficlet while I was doing the dishes. I had to keep stopping and jot things down.

[sylvanwitch]

WOW! That's a TON of good stuff put out into the world! GO, you! :-) *\o/*

[badly_knitted]

Thank you! I'm most happy with the accidental ficlet, it's cracky but fun.

[ysilme]

Go you, that's a terrific word count! And yay for the bonus ficlet! *\O/* It's fun how these come up when doing menial things, isn't it? ^^

Scribbles & Drabbles is a Tolkien art & fic event mostly in the usual fashion: first artists create prompts, then writers claim these and provide stories for the art. The main difference is that it's very low key, as the title implies; as the art really only needs to be a scribble and the writing can be as short as 100 words and can be unfinished. I'm participating for the second time and joined both as artist and author; like last year I made a few moodboards. You then can claim up to three arts, but claim more once you finished your minimum goal for the claimed arts and so on.

[badly_knitted]

Thank you! I'm really pleased with my silly ficlet.

That sounds fun! Not sure I dare try to write in the Tolkien fandom though, it's been too long since I read the books / saw the movies. Might sneak in to read some of the fills though.

[yhlee]

Yay words!

Day 25: Only two pages (about 200 words) on the linguistics space opera, but I'm trying to complete training phase 1 for slush reading for a zine. :) I've slushed before (I enjoy it), but of course the procedures are different everywhere. :)

I'm actually hoping to do some backstory work for the comic script thing later tonight, but first things first.

[sylvanwitch]

OOOOh! The slush work sounds like it might be fun!

YAY for linguistics space opera words and good luck with the comic script too!

[cornerofmadness]

Day 25 I have no power so I'm in my office. 2324 words (hey no distractions)

[sylvanwitch]

Wow! That's HUGE! GO, you! YAY!

(Though I do hope you get power sometime soon!)

[cornerofmadness]

If I was locked away somewhere with no internet distractions I could probably write 4 novels a year

[ysilme]

I'm glad the power is back by now, but go you for such a great word count! No distraction for the win indeed. ;op

[cornerofmadness]

thanks

[shadaras]

sylvanwitch, that sounds like a splendid day! Congrats on making some words happen alongside the other fun things!

ysilme, that sounds like lovely fun words! :D

Day 25: nearly 2k because I forgot an exchange assignment was due tonight and not tomorrow and I thus had to scramble to complete a decent draft. xD; I succeeded!

[ysilme]

Thank you! What a great word count for yourself, congrats to succeeding and reaching the deadline! ;o)

[sylvanwitch]

Thank you so much! *grins*

WOW! That's fantastic! Go, you, for getting it done under pressure! Hooo-ray! :-)

[the_siobhan]

I got a burst of inspiration for a story I've had sitting on the back burner for a while. I dug it out and added 650 new words tonight!

[ysilme]

Yay for unexpected and frutiful inspiration! *\o/*

[sylvanwitch]

Wow, excellent wordcount! YAY for inspiration coming upon you like a summer storm and raining words into your life! :-)

[china_shop]

26th: some meta, and a small paragraph added to my fic.

[ysilme]

Yay for words wording! It's awesome that you're getting anything done right now (and much relieved ***hugs*** to you! ♥♥♥ )

[sylvanwitch]

YAY for paragraphs and meta, particularly given current circumstances. Big, big *HUGS*!

[chanter1944]

Tagging in for days 18, 24, and 25.

I definitely wrote for at least two projects on day 18, I checked. Sneaking in late, better late than never. :P

100-ish words for day 24.

Aaaand a handful of sentences for day 25.

[ysilme]

Yay for writing happening for you on those days! *\O/*

[sylvanwitch]

I'm so glad you're getting words in and are checking in with us now and again. Big ups for the words and for being a part of this wild ride we call WED! :-)

[yasaman]

Day 25: 338 words for me today!

[sylvanwitch]

Great progress! GO, YOU! :-)

[lferion]

25 Aug -- finished the scribbles and drabbles image upload. Got a proper paragraph on the pinch hit. I even got a title for it! Found myself sucked into file organization.

[sylvanwitch]

YAY for finishing the upload, for the paragraph, and especially for coming up with a title, a Herculean task sometimes! YAY!

[luzula]

Day 25: Did last edits to wolfbrothers story; now I just need to finalize the title and write a summary, and then I can POST!

[ysilme]

Oooh, that's awesome, congrats! *\O/*

[sanguinity]

Woo-hoo!

[sylvanwitch]

YAY! YAY! YAY! Yay for final edits and for getting the title and summary done, so you can dance the dance of the happily posted story! :-)

[ysilme]

Hiking and picnic supper sounds great! Go you for wording words in-between. :o)

[sylvanwitch]

Thank you! It was a lovely day, with a bonus park thrown in for good measure, as the place we were hiking was too buggy to stay for supper.

[regshoe]

Day 25: A little bit more redrafting.

[sylvanwitch]

Slow and steady is finishing this fic! YAY! :-)

[sanguinity]

Aug 25: Some words on one project, some editing on another.

[sylvanwitch]

Words cast about like raindrops, making progress wherever they fall! YAY!

[sanguinity]

That's a lovely image. :-)

[carenejeans]

Day 25: Am frowning at the Thing and thinking maybe I'll start over from scratch. Hee! Oh well.

Sylvanwitch: Yay for brainstorming! And for bullet points!

Ysilme: Scribbles and Drabbles sounds like a fun, low-key challenge!

[sylvanwitch]

Well, in that case, I wish you very inspiring frowning! 😁. But seriously, I hope the Thing starts behaving for you pronto!

[ysilme]

I second the inspired frowning! ^^ And yes, the challenge is exactly that!
