ysilme here for day 6: 2,7k for a blog entry.

sylvanwitch here: On Day 6, I cut all of the words I'd added to the story yesterday (and saved them to a separate file--you never know when they might come in handy) and wrote 247 new words in an entirely different direction. I think I like this kinder, gentler version of the story better, but we'll see how I feel about these words tomorrow. ;-)

[shadaras]

it's battleshipex season, which means I am going to be writing many things very fast xD

Day 7: 1.9k

[sylvanwitch]

Wow! Look at that word count! You aren’t kidding!

Days 5, 6, & 7 check-ins

[the_siobhan]

Fooling around with an old story that seems to have popped up out of nowhere and grabbed my interest again. My muse is a fickle one.

Re: Days 5, 6, & 7 check-ins

[sylvanwitch]

SO fickle! But hey, if They brings us words, who are we to complain, right? Enjoy the fooling around! :-)

[chanter1944]

Tagging in for days 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 (sorry for the slow).

At least a few sentences for days 3 and 4, 300+ words for day 5, 100+ words for days 6 and 7.

[sylvanwitch]

You are making steady progress! Go, you! YAY!

[sanguinity]

ysilme: A nice meaty entry, hurrah!

sylvanwitch: Good luck with the new direction -- and if it's not the right direction, may it help you figure out what is.

Jul 7: A lot of brainstorming and research for our Pod-Together project -- workskins, multi-voice recording, directions to take the story, etc. Plus an alibi sentence, because even though I know all that counts, I never feel quite easy until I've written a sentence, too.

[sylvanwitch]

Thank you!

I am like you, re: alibi sentences. No matter how much writing-related work I do, I feel like I must have at least one fiction-centric sentence for it to count. Brains are weird.

YAY for doing all that work!

[cornerofmadness]

day 7 made it to ohio, wrote 1280 words on the wip big bang

[sylvanwitch]

Congrats on the safe arrival and YAY for So Many Words on a driving day!

[cornerofmadness]

thanks

[edwardianspinsteraunt]

Day 7: A couple of paragraphs on the RPE fic!

[sylvanwitch]

YAY for paragraphs! :-)

[luzula]

Day 7: Deleted 200 words, added 600 words. Total wordcount: 31,000.

[sylvanwitch]

Go, you! You are working so steadily! It's impressive progress!

[badly_knitted]

ysilme So many words!

sylvanwitch Good luck with the new direction. It's always a good idea to save the bits you cut out. They might spawn a whole new story!

July 7th - 610 words. A double drabble, and edits on 4 fics. Yes, I cave in to my weird brain and did more editing late last night. Now I just need to convince my brain that 400 words in a day is totally okay...

[sylvanwitch]

Thank you! I'm not a "kinder, gentler" ending sort of person, so it surprised me when this story wanted to go in that direction. Maybe I *can* use the horrific part somewhere else. One hopes!

400 words a day is MORE THAN totally okay! But I can relate to your feeling otherwise because 500 per day is my personal quota, and even though I've both finished a novel AND already crossed my annual total word count goal, my brain is still insisting that anything less than that is unacceptable. ;-)

Brains are weird.

GO YOU for all that writing and editing! YAY!

[badly_knitted]

Fluff and humor are my usual style, so occasional angst takes me by surprise.

Ditto (aside from the novel writing - so impressed with your novel writing). I passed my GYWO goal last month, so everything I write is a bonus, but my brain still wants me to get past 500 words a day. =/
