Write every day! May 2019 - Day 1

[zwei_hexen]

So let's start with another month of the Write Every Day Challenge! Good luck to you all with your writing goals this month; I hope our group gives you the support and encouragement you need to achieve them.

Welcome to any newcomers! Please don't hesitate to ask sylvanwitch or me any questions you have. To report your tally, please comment to the most recent tally entry, also if you missed some days. Just tell us the days you wrote on and we'll edit you in on the next tally.

Tally:
Welcome post

ysilme here: my main goal for this month is getting back into concentrated writing at my current WIPs after several weeks of other things taking necessary precedence. I have yet to put down words today, but as we have a holiday today, I spent a couple of blissfull hours earlier at reorganising my fanfic archive, revisiting old favourites, and re-reading parts of them, as well as revisiting some abandoned WIPs to see if I might take them out again. It was quite fun and nostalgic!

sylvanwitch here.   My goal for the month is to finish the first edits of the ambush project (and maybe while I'm at it find a better title ;-).  Of course, because I've made that my goal, I spent my words today, 509 of them, on a short story idea that came to me during a conversation with a friend at work.  So...when that's done, I'll return to the edits.  (I'm about halfway through the book at the moment.)

Just to say it out loud in case it's not clear: there's absolutely no need to give an exact word count or anything. The only requirement for a positive tally entry is to have written _anything_. What it is, how much of it, and what you count as writing is totally up to yourself! Most of us are motivated by those figures so we list them, but that's the only reason. ;o)
Also, it's no requirement to have a positive word count to report in - we're also here to hold hands, symapthise, listen and comfort if the words aren't coming or are fighting back.

I appreciate the explicit mention of those things. I generally do write every day, but it's good to know what if I had a zero words day, I could still check in.
