Write every day! October 2019 - Day 2

[zwei_hexen]

Lovely to see so many joining us again, and welcoeme to all the new (at least to me ;o) ) faces!
I've also a question for you, as I've just experienced this again myself: do you find your ability to write or your writing creativity in any way influenced or compromised when reading a lot of fic, and particularly well-written, long, intense or so fic?
I find I do. I've observed that the intensity and output of my writing is inversely proportional to the amount of transformative fic I'm reading, and vice versa. I don't read much and mostly only slowly when I'm on a good writing streak, and more so when working towards a deadline; and when I find myself immersed in some intense or just really good fic my writing creativity and output is singificantly less. I know this happens to others as well, but I'm wondering if we're the exceptions or if this is more common.

Tally:

ysilme here: no tally yet for me again; this is going to be another late writing night.

sylvanwitch here: One of the many perks of moderating a student writing club at my school is the opportunity to write while at work. We typically do a writing exercise at each meeting, and sometimes I get something cool out of it. Today's is just the beginning of a story, 293 words, and it may not go anywhere, but I like what I have so far, so I think I'll file it for the next time I'm stuck on something else.

Oh, I do love it when the words decide to write themselves because a character suddenly pops in to poke me! Yay for words!
