ysilme here: 392 words for the NP on day 9. My arm is back to full working order after an osteopathy treatment today, and now I've got so much to catch up with... /o\ *side-eyes Mount Washmore*

sylvanwitch here: Day 9 turned out to be full of things, many of them obligatory rather than fun, but I did get in a long dusk ramble, so there's that. At any rate, I wrote two letters of recommendation today, but I won't count them in my total. Instead, I spent a little time reading through the draft of the story I finished yesterday and subtracted 46 words. The ending still needs a wee bit, and there needs to be more tension to make the climax more interesting, but that is tomorrow's work. I'm afraid I spent most of my creativity on those letters, finding new ways to say, "He's unmotivated, but when he bothered to try, he was pretty good."

Day 9: 1.5k! :) Maybe more as the evening progresses, but I don't feel a need to push it.

[sylvanwitch]

That is definitely a fine laurel to rest on! :-)

[badly_knitted]

Glad to hear your arm is all recovered. Sorry you have so much to catch up with though.

July 9th - 714 words ion a new challenge ficlet.

[sylvanwitch]

YAY for a new challenge ficlet! :-) You always have a variety of things going. It's inspiring!

[badly_knitted]

Thank you! I belong to a lot of challenge communities, and I run a few myself, so I'm seldom short of inspiration. It all helps.

Days 8 & 9 check-ins

[the_siobhan]

Yay arm! Boo laundry. :-D

I wrote a whole chapter yesterday and I'm about to dive into it again. Ride that inspiration when it comes!

Re: Days 8 & 9 check-ins

[sylvanwitch]

Yeeee-haw! That's wonderful to hear! Go, you! May that wave continue to carry you onward!

[china_shop]

So glad your arm is better, ysilme! And sylvanwitch, yay for long dusk rambles -- how lovely!

[sylvanwitch]

It really was lovely! :-)

WOW! Look at all those words! Woooo-hooooo! Go, you! YAY! *\o/*

Glad the arm is better

Excellent progress! I wish you an ending hoving into sight soon!

[cornerofmadness]

[sanguinity]

Jul 9: Alibi sentence!

[sylvanwitch]

YAY for words made to stave off entropy! :-)

[yasaman]

Day 9: back in the writing saddle after my trip out of town (the wedding was lovely, and it was so great to see far-flung family!), and I replied to some comments, and wrote 1,800 words!

[sylvanwitch]

That's an OUTstanding comeback! YAY! Go, you! WOoooooo!

[luzula]

Day 9: Train journey, so I wrote 700 words! Total wordcount: 32,400.

[sylvanwitch]

Oh, excellent word count! Yay for train journeys and writing time! :-)

[carenejeans]

(I forgot to check in. Did I make it on time?)

[sylvanwitch]

You're in there for Day 9 on today's tally, so yes, you did! YAY! And EXCELLENT word count, too! YAY!

[ofmonstrouswords]

July 5: 1 new word + some revisions
July 6: 60
July 7: 754
July 8: 1,837
July 9: 1,756 and I finally finished the epilogue for Nebula's Heart

Now that draft can sit and wait a bit before I open it back up and re-read it to see if it truly is the hot mess I think it is or if it's better than I expect. XD

[sylvanwitch]

YAY for words on all those days, but an especially big YAY to you for those last two word counts! WOW! Go, you! Wooooo-hooooo! And YAY for being able to check something off your month's goals list. *\o/*
