ysilme here: I'm sorry I didn't manage to react to anything/ any of you in the last few days, but I'm literally only online to do the tally entry, and for a little bit of writing in the mornings, producing 279 words today. Writing buddy and I have spent most of the day with plotting and talkig fic, while also visting another historic museum mainly for the purposes of research and inspiration, which both also happened in spades. I hope I can catch up once I'm back home next week!

sylvanwitch here: 758 words for the day.

Days 22 and 23: alibi sentences

[lferion]

23 March -- wrote a triolet for Fan Flashworks. Want to write another one that will work for SWG.

[cornerofmadness]

216 words today.

[vendettadays]

Historic museum visits for research and inspiration sounds fantastic!

Day 23: lots of longhand writing into a journal

[sanguinity]

Mar 23: Alibi editing.

[carenejeans]

Day 23: A little over 600 words, expanding bullet-point notes. And a bit of free-writing that didn't go anywhere but was very soothing. ;-)

ysilme: It sounds like you are having a lot of fun with your writing buddy!

[garonne]

Oops, I completely forgot I was checking in this month blushes.

Fortunately I did write every day, at least a little bit. Planning to write at least 500 words a day for the rest of the month!

Check-in for Day 23: 980 words

Yay for writing buddies and museum visits!

[badly_knitted]

Hope your having fun visiting all these places!

March 23rd - a 1174 word challenge fic.

[luzula]

ysilme: I'm glad you're having fun with your writing buddy! I know that feeling. : )

Day 23: A little more on the exchange fic, and also I started on a new fic--we'll see if it takes off.

[sylvanwitch]

You're keeping your hand in with the workhorse of the WED world! You rock!

[sylvanwitch]

Excellent progress! YAY!

[sylvanwitch]

Go, you! Words have been made! Yay!

[sylvanwitch]

YAY for longhand words!

[sylvanwitch]

Good on you! (Seriously, editing is my bane.) :-)

[sylvanwitch]

Soothing free-writing for the win! (And 600 expanded bullet-point words--excellent!)

[sylvanwitch]

YAY for writing every day and for that fantastic wordcount! Go, you!

[sylvanwitch]

Excellent progress! YAY! Your word counts are always impressive to me. :-)

[sylvanwitch]

Here's hoping the new fic grows wings! YAY for words! :-)

[sanguinity]

I rather enjoy tightening up and focusing the language! Making it say what I meant to say -- or would have meant to say had I properly understood the story at the time! -- instead of whatever garble I grabbed in the heat of the moment. Especially since I don't make myself do One Heroic Editing Pass, but more fix things as they seem off, in little bits and bobs, when I happen to be looking at it.

Of course the danger is that I do endless fine-tuning instead of composing new words -- which is the problem I'm having now! But I haven't finished my canon review yet, so I'm a little stuck for new words to write!

...but did I spend yesterday on canon review? No, I did not. I spent the day re-reading a comfort read.

[badly_knitted]

Thank you. Right now they're impressing me too, No idea how I'm doing it. If I knew, I could market the secret and make a fortune.

[sylvanwitch]

Let me applaud you for comfort reading when you need it rather than pushing to do any other thing. I grew up being taught to feel guilty for anything perceived as "lazy" or "not useful," and I am still unlearning that response to taking pleasure in NOT doing a task, even though it's on my list, mental or otherwise. So, anyway, I am impressed by BOTH your editing savvy AND your comfort reading. :-)

[sanguinity]

You are so lovely and supportive. You are enormously kind and gentle with us (and encourage us to be so with ourselves!), and I appreciate that immensely. <3

[ysilme]

Yay for making words happen! :o)

[ysilme]

Yay for words happening on paper for you!
It's been a great visit, also in regards for inspiration. I love to write a lot of background and lore in my fics, and if possible flesh them out with details I'll learn about on such visits.

[ysilme]

Making it say what I meant to say -- or would have meant to say had I properly understood the story at the time! -- instead of whatever garble I grabbed in the heat of the moment.
I feel you so much on this! *g*

...but did I spend yesterday on canon review? No, I did not. I spent the day re-reading a comfort read.
I'm sure somebody well-versed about this could explain that perfectly away with the brain needing the break or the space or whatever - but I don't care, I honestly think doing exactly that is not only important and helpful for the writing process, but also what keeps us sane. ^^

[ysilme]

I grew up being taught to feel guilty for anything perceived as "lazy" or "not useful," and I am still unlearning that response to taking pleasure in NOT doing a task, even though it's on my list, mental or otherwise.
This is so true! I have the same problem, and every bit where I manage to just be and relax is hard-fought-for. I read a semi-scientific article the other day about just this, with the gist that our brain and psyche needs to relax and unwind doing these "lazy" or "not useful" things to stay healthy.

[ysilme]

I really had, it's been awesome - and exhausting, as we were talking and plotting so much! ;op
Go you for words wording for you in a comfortable way! :o)

[ysilme]

Don't worry, I'm happy to put you into the tally on every day you wrote! It'll be in tonight's tally; I was travelling for a week and had super slow Wifi, so editing the older parts was difficult.

[ysilme]

I had, thank you! Go you for so many lovely words! :o)

[ysilme]

Thank you! It's lovely to make this experience, isn't it? :o)
Yay for words and new fics happening to you!

[ysilme]

Yay, so many lovely words! ♥

[badly_knitted]

Glad to hear it!

Thank you =)

[sanguinity]

Aw, thank you. I'll try to remember to balance "keeping myself sane" stuff with "getting done what I need to get done" stuff, and not get too judgemental about one over the other.
