Write every day! - March 2024 - Day 1

[zwei_hexen]

Welcome back, friends of old and friends-to-be!

I'm excited to be joining you for another month of writing wackiness and hope that each of you gets what you most need from your participation in this traveling circus we call Write Every Day. I always enjoy the interactions we share, whether those are a comment thread or a simple "Yay!" I look forward to sharing this adventure with you. [Sylvanwitch]

Tally:
Welcome post

Day 1:

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.

Thank you both so much for hosting this month! I've been offline a lot lately and my writing is a bit lackadaisical, but I'm going to try to get back into it and finish some things.

1st: I worked on a few things here and there today: slight edits on a flashfic to send to beta, and some additional words on a WIP that (like many of its peers) will not tell me where it's going. *glares at it* ;-)

[sylvanwitch]

I hope the WsIP get with the program and start telling you stuff! *hugs* Welcome back!

[ysilme]

Welcome back! ♥ Here's to getting back into the writing and other habits - I hear you so much on this; it's been the same for me after I was so sick at the end of last year, just that for me it's interacting with people which has become surprisingly hard. /o\ Best of luck with finishing things, too - you're off to a good start in any case! :o)

[trobadora]

Checking in for the 1st.

[sylvanwitch]

YAY! Welcome back! :-)

[ysilme]

Welcome back, and happy writing! ♥

[badly_knitted]

Hello again, and thanks so much for hosting! I'm off to a good start this month, although I expect to ease back on the writing as spring approaches.

Mar 1st - 1139 words, a ficlet for comment_fic, and I finished a fic I started a few days ago for a challenge.

[sylvanwitch]

That is a fantastic (and characteristic) word count! YAY!

Also, I hope the reason for the easing off is gardening (?). I think we've talked about it before. I know I love to hear of your adventures in the yard! :-)

[badly_knitted]

Thank you!

That's the general idea, but it will depend on whether it ever stops raining. My lawn has been flooded so much this winter it's like a quagmire *sigh* I also want more time for crafting, I need to stitch a card for my sister's 65th... So much I want to do and so little time!

[ysilme]

Welcome back for another round at our joint place! Congrats to having such a good start, I hope things continue in this way for you!

[badly_knitted]

Thank you, it's lovely to be back!

Not sure how I'll get on today, but we'll see!

[vendettadays]

Day 1: around 100 words for something new, not sure what but it words :) did a lot of edits too

Great work on words to your novel!

[sylvanwitch]

Yay for mystery words! Those can be the best kind, eventually! :-)

[ysilme]

Yay for words and new things, and for editing - not always fun but always necessary!

[cornerofmadness]

Day 1 2767 words on a the owl house story

[sylvanwitch]

Wow! That's a fantastic word count! Go, you! *\o/*

[cornerofmadness]

thanks

[ysilme]

Welcome back, and congrats to such a terrific start into the new month. Go you!

[luzula]

sylvanwitch: glad to see your novel is going well! : )

Goals for the month: I'm trying Get Your Words Out this year, which after two months I think I can say is good for my writing. I was afraid it would feel stressful, but it's more of a nudge/reminder to get enough writing time. So to keep up there, I should do 12,700 words this month. I also hope to 1) finish my werewolf story which I'm posting chapterized every week (which will definitely happen since the story is already finished), 2) revise and post my Temeraire fusion with Flight of the Heron, 3) hopefully finish the draft of another Flight of the Heron story I'm working on, 4) sign up for the unsent_letters_exchange and get started on my assignment there.

Day 1: 600 words on WIP, total word count 5,800.

[sylvanwitch]

Thank you! I am enjoying the hell out of it. :-)

Those goals all sound both impressive and doable, particularly given your focus and work ethic. YAY for your day's words and good luck on your month's goals!

[ysilme]

Yay for having found a tool/group helping you reaching your goals and your writing, good luck with it continuing to work out for you! ♥ You've got quite a lot of plans, best of luck for all of these as well! :o)
It's always fascinating how differently things work for each of us - I've tried GYWO twice, utterly failing both times as all it did was putting additional pressure on me which in turn rather blocked than encouraged me. ;op

[yasaman]

Hello again! :D

Day 1: I had a marathon writing session to finish this fic, and wrote 4,700 words today. Some of it was after midnight, but I'm still counting it for the 1st!

[sylvanwitch]

Welcome back! YAY! It's so good to see you here. :-)

And WOW-WOW-WOW! That word count is HUGE! WOoooooo-HOoooooo! *\o/* Go, you!

[ysilme]

Welcome back, and wow, witch such a terrific word count, congratulations! ***\O/*** I keep my fingers crossed that your writing streak continues well!
I'm never using midnight as the counting cut (can you say that?) myself; I'm a terminal night own and at times will only start writing after midnight, and also want to count for myself what I managed in a day according to my own reckoning - so between getting up and going to bed.

[ysilme]

That's a neat number of words on a neat chapter number! ^^ I hope the overall progress of the novel is to your satisfaction. ♥

[sylvanwitch]

My friend, I am loving the characters and words and world building so, so much! *hugs*
