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.)

\o/ That's always so much fun!

I'm still living in the future, so here's my first two days:

1st: Made edits to and posted a ficlet, and wrote a Dreamwidth post.

2nd: Plugged some plotholes in my exchange fic. I'm taking a printout with me when I go out this afternoon, and hope to have time to read through and catch any flow-on issues, so I can send it to beta tomorrow.

It's not a good start for me, only an alibi sentence was written today. I don't have any particular goals right now, so I'll work on the WIPs I have lying around and see if I can't finish something.

I wrote today, yay! I put together a resume for the first time in 8 years. It was intimidating.

I also did some quick scene outlining for the gift fic.

Having posted a 23k fic yesterday, I tended to an ongoing project so that I could top up my queue of posts. I don't necessarily keep exact words counts on any given day, but I did finish a full post in that space, along with a few other prompts and bits, so plenty of writing, both professionally and personally, today.

954 words for me, which when I'd just written them (and deleted chunks, and rewritten them) I decided I hated, but I've just read them back and decided they're not that bad \o/

Thank you two for hosting this month again!

I wrote about 700 words of fanfic, mostly on a complete first draft of a fluff bingo ficlet. Fluff of the tooth-rotting variety, no doubt, but just what I needed. I'll have to see if I want to add a substantial bit to the beginning, or if I just mainly need to weed out needless repetitions, but we'll see. I feel like I stand a chance of getting at least one bingo line out of this - I've at least started on four of the five fics required for a bingo. :-)

Day 1: 500 words! My goal for May is 15k instead of 30k, so a little bit more relaxed XD

I'm doing the A Story A Day challenge again. A story a day for the month! I'm not sure I'll actually write one a day; I found I kind of burned out last time I did it. But we'll see.

Today's effort wasn't great, since I only had about half an hour to write today. Wednesdays are like that, sigh. I couldn't do anything with the prompt given, a sort of fill-in-the-blanks form, which just makes me clam up for some reason. So I used a prompt from my trusty copy of What If? by Anne Bernays and Pamela Painter (this is a plug -- it's a great book). I managed 231 words, not for the ages, but something! 8-)

Both of you seem to be off to a good start!

ysilme: Sifting through old WIPs is always fun.

sylvanwitch: Setting a goal to concentrate on one project seems to be the best way to get ideas for other stories!

Thank you for hosting this month!

I did a first pass edit on four chapters of an 80K fic that I finished for last month's write every day. And I wrote 600 words for a treat for the POI exchange due at the end of the month.
