ysilme here: 664 words on day 14 for the NP.

sylvanwitch here: 173 words on the latest short story from the folklore oracle deck. I also wrote another letter of recommendation (four down, eleven to go), but it isn’t fiction, mostly. ;-)

[china_shop]

14th and 15th: edits on the story, which I've just sent off to beta!! \o/ Now... what's next? :-)

[sylvanwitch]

Yay! *does happy off-to-beta dance with you*

[ysilme]

Wohoo, congrats for finished edits and stories going to eta! *\O/*

[badly_knitted]

Fair enough, but what's the secret to getting finished? I've got a bit bogged down with my fic...

July 14th - 643 words, a double drabble and some work on my fic. Hoping I can find an ending for it tomorrow...

[sylvanwitch]

Lol! That’s a good question!

Good word count, too. :-)

I’m sending you ending-finding vibes for tomorrow’s writing!

[badly_knitted]

Thank you for the vibes! Hopefully they will have the desired effect!

[ysilme]

*narrator's voice* "And that, dear readers, is a question for another day ..."
LOL Let's hope we'll get an answer to that eventually, I certainly want to know it, too! Good luck in finding one for your fic!

[badly_knitted]

Thank you! Endings can be elusive little critters!

[shadaras]

Day 14: Back into the battleship groove; 1.5k :)

[sylvanwitch]

Wooooooooooooo! Seriously, you are racking up the excellent word counts! I hope you’re enjoying the hell out of it. :-)

[ysilme]

Oh wow, terrific word count, go you! :o)

[sylvanwitch]

That image is so evocative! “The road goes ever on and on, down to the door where it began…”

[ysilme]

I had this in mind when I took the photo! :o) I took it last year on a hike around half of that tiny Danish island we did that day-trip to, Strynø. I was lucky to get the trees without the leaves, as I'm sure it's looking much more intense this way.
Go you for writing fic and working on that exercise, and for another of those letters off your pile! *symapthises* ♥

[sanguinity]

Jul 14: Transcribed yesterday's words and wrote more words, for a total of about 800 words for yesterday and today.

[ysilme]

Congrats, that's a neat word count! :o)

[sylvanwitch]

You're making good progress! YAY! Go, you! :-)

[yasaman]

Day 14: 375 words for me today! My bout with Covid remains pretty mild and my sore throat has improved immensely today, thankfully, but I'm always totally scatter-brained and fuzzy-headed when I have sinus pressure, so I'm taking it easy on the writing.

[ysilme]

It's awesome you're managing to write even so - I can totally relate to being fuzzy-headed with sinus pressure! I hope everything remains mild and you can get the rest and recuperation you need. *hugs*

[sylvanwitch]

I'm so glad it's not worse for you and that you're being gentle with yourself while you go through the symptoms you do have. I hope you feel better soon! :-)

[chanter1944]

Checking in for days 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14. I'm sorry for the slow; I'm awful at checking in lately! Writing happened on all these days, to varying lengths. Among other things, my fandomtrumpshate fic is finished! :D

[ysilme]

In my book, the important thing is writing is happening for you! Editing you into the tally isn't a big deal for me as I'm doing it in a txt doc with copy&paste, and it's no difference if I'm hitting ctrl+v one, three or five times. ^^ Congrats to finishing your fic, that's cool! :o)

[sylvanwitch]

Congratulations on finishing your fic! YAY! *\o/*

[cornerofmadness]

again love the quote and pic. Day 14 3360 words on the same fandomgiftbasket

[ysilme]

Thank you! ♥ And look at you with that terrific word count, you totally rock! ***\O/***

[sylvanwitch]

Wooooo-hoooooo! *\o/* Another day on fire with words!

[cornerofmadness]

thanks

[edwardianspinsteraunt]

Day 14: Finished the RPE fic! Now to ponder which projects to work on next...

[ysilme]

Congratulations! ***\O/*** And good luck with deciding on the next one!

[sylvanwitch]

YAY for finished fics and the freedom they bring to look for another project! :-)

[luzula]

Oh, lovely picture. Day 14: Only 200 words--I got stuck on trying to find an insult for one character to deliver to another... Total wordcount: 33,900.

[sylvanwitch]

That is an EXcellent reason to be stuck, in my opinion! I love that! YAY for words! :-)
