Let us know if we missed you or if you didn't check in for a while, so we can add you. Of course joining the fun is possible at any point.

ysilme here: Today my writing time was eaten up by unexpected and complicated software maintenance and reinstall, but I managed to squeeze in an alibi sentence. At least the temperatures have dropped to much nicer temperatures again, and I'm looking forward to a good night's sleep. Which I need as I have a headache from the weather change.. ;op

sylvanwitch here: We arrived home a few minutes ago. Before we left the hotel for our respective adventures (I spent the afternoon at the Soldiers & Sailors museum), I wrote a 135-word travel journal entry about yesterday’s adventures.

ysilme - Well done getting an alibi sentence after dealing with all that!

Aug 16th - 679 words, an expanded ficathon fill and edits to two fics. It was a busy day because I was out for several hours enjoying the local summer fair. There were miniature donkeys for petting =)

[sylvanwitch]

Ooooh, donkeys! At the fair the other day, I got to pet a lovely old horse for the longest time. There is something so restorative about it, I think.

Go, you, for all those words on a busy day!

[badly_knitted]

Donkeys, horses, I'll pet anything of an equine nature! Love them.

Thank you!

[sylvanwitch]

Me, too! I did get to pet a cow at the zoo the other day, too, and she really enjoyed the experience, so I think gentle bovines may also do the trick.

[badly_knitted]

Cows can be friendly, I like them. Stroking anything furry can be soothing. I only have my stuffed toys to stroke now though.

Aug 16. Met up with Luzula on zoom and wrote 400 words with her!

Also, edited and uploaded one podfic for my partner's review -- then, on the basis of that review, started over and re-recorded that and another podfic. Edited and uploaded again, and we'll see where we are.

[sylvanwitch]

Writing with Luzula sounds like fantastic fun!

Good luck with the ongoing podfic project!

Day 16: Wrote a couple hundred words in a 9-1-1 fic I've been working on....

[sylvanwitch]

Excellent! Go, you!

[trobadora]

Checking in for the 16th.

[sylvanwitch]

Thank you! :-)

[cornerofmadness]

ugh to the computer issues.

glad you made it home safely


Day 16 - 1460 on the wipbigbang

[sylvanwitch]

Thank you! (And we made it to the hospital without going the wrong way down a one-way street. Given the construction, I'm rather proud of us!)

Oh, excellent progress! Woooo-hoooo! *\o/*

Days 15 & 16 Check-in

[the_siobhan]

My days are legit running together to the point where I have to check my comments to figure out what heckin' day it is and whether what I remember doing happened today or the day before.

So that's how my month is going.

So! I know yesterday (let's call it the 15th) I did a bunch of research and notes on main project
And today I finally figured out how I'm going to finish my not-really-a-fanfic-that-might-have-turned-into-an-actual-fanfic fanfic and I wrote 1400 words on it! (And stayed up way too late doing it.)

Re: Days 15 & 16 Check-in

[sylvanwitch]

I absolutely relate to your cognitive time-slippage as I, too, am experiencing it. *sighs*

YAY for research and notes and so many lovely words! Go, you!

[luzula]

Day 16: Had a nice fannish chat over Zoom, during which I wrote 200 words!

[sylvanwitch]

Yippee! That sounds like a lovely time was had by all!

[yasaman]

Had a brutally long week at work, so just barely hanging in there with my word counts:

Day 12: 168 words
Day 13: 320 words
Day 14: alibi sentence
Day 15: 204 words
Day 16: 400 words

[sylvanwitch]

Ugh, I'm so sorry to hear about work. I hope the coming week is a better one for you.

Go, you! for getting ANY words in when life was so stressful! You're a rock star!

[carenejeans]

Day 16: I did a LOT of research -- during which I found, by accident, a book by Bruce Joshua Miller called Curiosity's Cats: Writers on Research which looks like a lot of fun. 8-)

And wrote about 500 words, adding to a note-sy draft.

[sylvanwitch]

That title is intriguing!

Excellent work on both the research and the word-ing fronts! Go, you! Wooo-hooo!
