Write every day - Day 8

[zwei_hexen]

Do you have any writerly superstitions? Is there anything you MUST have or do, anyplace you must be, any song you must listen to, etc., in order to have a good day of words? Is there something you simply will NOT do because doing it jinxes the work?
For me, I don't like to talk about the plot of a work in progress because laying out the whole story verbally takes some of the urgency out of putting it down on paper, so I try to keep most of the story to myself, avoiding all but a two- or three-sentence blurb summary until it's done.

ysilme here: so far, only an alibi sentence for me today, and I'm not sure if it'll be more. It's choir rehearsal night, and I went on an unplanned spree of looking through and unpacking moving boxes which've been sitting around in the extra room since we moved in 14 years ago... *coughs* I feel totally accomplished and am proud that the pile is now less than half the size of before, but also rather exhausted. But I had an idea for a scene during rehearsal and noted down a few words of this, and will now write up some more details.

sylvanwitch here: I finished the first edits of the ambush project tonight! Yay! Next up, reading it end to end and doing an after-the-fact outline for each chapter and then figuring out what I need to add to the earlier chapters to make it more interesting. I also need to adjust the romance subplot because they get naked too fast and fall out for no obviously good reason. (I mean, there is a reason, but I don't think I make it clear enough when the actual "break-up" happens in the story. So...)

Er, forgot to check in on the 7th. I wrote about 400 words on a flash fiction story.

And today for the first time since I joined this group, I wrote NOTHING. Zero words, zilch, nada. Not even an alibi sentence! I was so tired yesterday that I just... didn't. (Have to pace myself better on working in Mom's yard, but there were weeds as tall as me out there. Where do they come from??).

Anyway. Onward and upward!

I like your attitude! You know, some days the words just aren't...wording. Or the energy isn't there or whatever. It's okay, as long as you get back on the horse or in front of the keyboard or something. ;-) I wish you good words tomorrow!
