"There is something delicious about writing the first words of a story.
You never quite know where they'll take you." (Beatrix Potter)

We're doing the occasional writing quote again this month. Today's quote was chosen by sylvanwitch on an image by ysilme.

Tally:
Welcome post

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: 566 works for the new drawer draft. I hadn't been able to properly focus on creative writing for several months due to circumstances outside my control, surviving on alibi sentences and random snippets. While it's been interesting to see where my writing mind went with the daily randomness it was and still is a bit of a struggle to get back into continous work at one project at a time. The first step had been alibi sentence but for the same WIP every day, followed by small snippets of the same. As a next step I've tackled revamping a larger drawer fic I wasn't happy with any longer and also wanted to convey into an English version, and am now completely rewriting it as a draft while getting rid of an embarrassing amount of bad plotting, characterisation and writing. *lol*

sylvanwitch here: 508 words on "Dixon and the Detective" for me today.

Revamping and improving old fics can be fun.

March 2nd - 1988 words. Two ficathon fills, my four Monday double drabbles, and some editing / expansion of a ficlet that is now posted.

YAY for slowly working back up to longer bits of one project! That's excellent progress, my friend! Go, you! :-)

Oh, that's awesome!! *cheers you on*

sylvanwitch: I'm so happy to see Dixon is still going strong, yayay!! :D

2nd & 3rd: finished the first draft of a fic I started for Yuletide. Now I need to read it through and see if it makes any sense at all. *eyes the printout with trepidation* ;-)
