"All artists, writers among them, have several stories

Day 3: wrote 3 dribbles and a couple of ficlets for a holiday fest

[shippen_stand]

Oops! wrote on days 2 and 3!

[sylvanwitch]

Thank you!

[sylvanwitch]

I am struggling to believe it's already holiday fest season. /o\ I mean, I know it intellectually, but I can't accept it in my heart. Lol!

Go, you, for writing words across several works! That's awesome!

[ysilme]

Yay for writing happening for you! :o)

[sanguinity]

Nov 3. Accepted beta edits on the next chapter of Langstroth.

[sylvanwitch]

Oh, excellent! Good luck with the editing!

[ysilme]

Yay for continued editing!

[brithistorian]

Reverse outlined chapters 20-22 of Madame Park's Academy 1. After finishing chapter 20, I thought it might be a candidate for elimination because it was just the students having a pleasant day off. I had forgotten what came up in chapters 21-22. Chapter 20 is necessary because it's just the students having a pleasant day off. Because chapter 21, starts with them in good spirits, getting cleaned up for dinner after the day's right, and then after dinner that same night, Jennie gets sent out on a mission. When Jennie comes back at the end of chapter 21, she's distraught. In chapter 22, it's revealed that Jennie had assassinated a man as part of her mission, then only later in that chapter is it revealed that the man she killed was an expert chemist who was about to go to work for the army developing poison gas. At the end of chapter 22, Jennie is somewhat more reconciled to what she had done, but worried that since she had been successful in this case, they'll consider her for training as an assassin now. And I think all the drama of chapters 21 and 22 was even more impactful when it came after the altogether pleasant day of chapter 20.

[sylvanwitch]

YAY for so much thinky revising work! That's excellent progress!

Day 3 WED

[dswdiane]

Love the quote.

Congrats ysilme on close to 2000 words.

I worked all day and wore myself out, but still wrote about 500 words. Then got caught up in exciting and wonderful election news. My state just elected our first ever female black governor. My district for state house of representatives elected first nonbinary, trans legislator. And I'm blown away by Texas and South Carolina. And happy. And can't write any more. I have to crash.

I'll keep my happy Methos icon.

Re: Day 3 WED

[sylvanwitch]

Oh, excellent progress for a long, tiring day! (And YES! YES! YES! on the election results! It has been so exhilarating!)

Re: Day 3 WED

[ysilme]

Thank you! It's November, and while I'm not doing a NaNo-type project this year I've done it for enough years so 2k a day feels pretty natural; this has been my personal daily goal for the last few years while NaNo still existed. *g*
Go you for a great word count yourself!

Re: Day 3 WED

Good quote!

[sylvanwitch]

In the case of writing, all progress is good progress, in my book (pun totally intended). Go, you!

[ysilme]

Definitely progress, go you! As always, it's not only words that make the writing.

Nice progress, both of you!
