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: a few lines for the WIP and some nonfic. I've been shoveling earth from a trailer into my new frame bed for about an hour today, and my hands and arms refused to do much more afterwards. ;op

sylvanwitch here: I added 245 words to the alibi story today while waiting for a device to update.

Comments

[badly_knitted]

Oof, that's hard work, ysilme!

Aug 25th - 1080 words. An expanded ficathon fill, 4 double drabbles, and tiny edits to ficlets that are now posted.

[sylvanwitch]

Another very good day for you, I see. YAY! :-)

[badly_knitted]

I did okay =)

Nearly didn't get the 4th drabble for this week's prompt done, and tbh, I don't think the last one I wrote is very good, but I was writing it late in the evening and I was tired.

[ysilme]

It is, but so rewarding, with now having a fifth vegetable bed again. It's replacing one made from recycled wood which disintegrated, and is now going to become the raspberry patch. ^^
Great word count for you, congrats!

[badly_knitted]

I hope your raspberries will be happy and productive!

Thank you!

[sanguinity]

ysilme: I misunderstood what kind of bed that was (not helped by originally reading "bed frame") and was VERY confused about why you were doing what you were doing. ;-) But yes, that will eat all one's energy! Good job getting a few lines in, too!

Aug 25. 500 words. Thought I was being very clever! But no, just anachronistic.

[sylvanwitch]

Now I'm imagining filling a bed frame with soil like some upscale, bougie Dracula, and it's making me smile.

Oh, no! I'm sorry to hear it! Well, I hope you find a way to salvage what you have. Good luck!

[sanguinity]

It was an easy fix, just deleting a sentence or two.

AND THE DEAREST CLEVEREST DARLING OF MY HEART. *sob*

[sylvanwitch]

We always kill our darlings, don't we?

[sanguinity]

We do! No one knows how we suffer!

[sylvanwitch]

I'm hearing this all in Victorian theatre tones, so even the folks in the back can understand just how heavy our burden is to bear. *grins*

[ysilme]

Now I'm smiling as well, that's a fun idea! ^^

[luzula]

Ha ha, yes, I had the same misunderstanding.

Oooh, 500 words, go you!

[sanguinity]

Thank you!

In the harsh light of morning I'm considering tossing a significant portion of them, but I think I will have coffee and breakfast and chocolate before making such an important decision.

[ysilme]

So sorry! ^^

[ysilme]

Oops, I'm so sorry! I suppose my mind was so focused on getting that job done as it was a bit complicated to organise it, I forgot the meaning could be disambigous. I'd definitely had been equally confused! LOL
But indeed, it's a garden bed with a wooden frame for vegetables, replacing the old one on the other side of the garden which disintegrated (we'd used salvaged wood).

Good job, making words wording for you, no matter in what direction they're leading! :o)

[sylvanwitch]

Seconding that what you accomplished was very hard work! :-)

[ysilme]

Go you for making good use of that waiting time! XD. I'm still flabbergasted at times how quickly most updates go this time, but there's still always some waiting time. ;op

Thank you! I'm looking forward to use it soon. It's meant to replace a veggie bed on the other side of the garden whose frame, made from salvaged wood, disintegrated, and was meant to be finished in time for this year's summer vegs. That fell through due to me being sick and then the abysmal heat, but we now got it finished just in time for winter greens, which I haven't managed for a few years as well. But hopefully we'll now have lamb's lettuce, asia leaf greens and spinach in the winter months.

[trobadora]

Checking in for the 25th.

[sylvanwitch]

Thank you, hon! :-)

[goddess47]

I wrote another no_true_pair ficlet... hopefully, I'll get another one done tonight before I have to get some sleep!

[sylvanwitch]

You are making excellent headway on this challenge! I hope you got the words in that you wanted before bedtime! :-)

[chanter1944]

I apologize in advance for this. Checking in for days 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, and 25!

... Whew!

[sylvanwitch]

Whew! indeed! Lol! Thank you for checking in! I'm glad you're still with us, even if you haven't had the chance to reach out. Go, you!

[ysilme]

Yay, how awesome you wrote very day! *\O/* Don't worry about the belated check-in; for me it's no difference if I edit in one, five, ten or more check-ins. I'm keeping the tally in a txt file and work with a very comfortable editor, so it's just copy&pasting.

[brithistorian]

Congrats to both of you on getting writing done even in the face of things that are trying to stop you.

Day 25: 522 words on my GYWO post for September on "Writing While Neurodiverse."

[sylvanwitch]

That sounds like an excellent topic and post! Go, you, for so many words! :-)

And thank you! The readjustment to teaching life curve is practically vertical. ;-)

[ysilme]

Thank you!
Go you for getting words out on your GYWO post! ^^

[cornerofmadness]

I barely count as alive today. alibi sentence only

[sylvanwitch]

Oof! I am living this comment right now. I hope today was a better one for you, hon!

[cornerofmadness]

thanks

[ysilme]

*hugs* Awesome you managed an alibi sentence even so! ♥

[cornerofmadness]

thanks

[luzula]

Sigh, nothing on the 24th, and 100 words on the 25th. But I will write today, damn it!

[sylvanwitch]

You are making such an effort, though, and I think that's excellent! Go, you, for the 25th and good luck for the 26th!

[ysilme]

*sympathies* And yay for the 25th!

[carenejeans]

Day 25: Today I read too much commentary on current news, so all I wrote is about 350 words of ranting. Tomorrow I need to do some *good* reading, and read the news only briefly, through my fingers. *Sigh*

[sylvanwitch]

Ugh, the news will definitely have a dampening effect on creativity, for sure. 350 words of ranting sound VERY cathartic! Go, you!

[yasaman]

Catching up on my check ins!

Day 19: 332 words
Day 20: 692 words
Day 21: alibi sentence
Day 22: 240 words
Day 23: 361 words
Day 24: 438 words
Day 25: 416 words

[sylvanwitch]

Wooooo! Look at all the words you've made! You're awesome! Thanks for catching up! :-)

[ysilme]

How awesome you wrote on all these days! :o)
