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: I've been mostly editing today, but also got 71 new words for the fannish WIP (plus painted another bit of the facade and am just making home-made "soup cube" preserves (I've no idea what this is called in English, you use a table-spoon of it with half a litre of water to make vegetable broth) as well as vegetable stock.)

sylvanwitch here: I added 449 mostly creepy words to the story that is actually being written, thank you very much. It's Stargate: Atlantis, Rodney's POV, and continues to be an immensely surprising TOTAL JOY to write. These kind of surprises I could get used to. (I won't. I know better. But I could. ;-)

Comments

[alexseanchai]

I got to the end of firelight ch 5 yesterday, which is a few hundred words shy of 30K altogether. I'm now rereading from the top to make sure I haven't contradicted myself anywhere on accident (there are places I'm doing it on purpose) and trying to sort out the order of the ch 6 plot points. (One of which is going to have to be the instant replay of the planned ch 5 plot point that got skipped because I had him head upstairs immediately instead of watching the plot point happen in real time.)

[sylvanwitch]

Excellent overall word count! Wooo-hooo! *\o/*

Good luck in the ongoing plot-wrangling. You seem to be enjoying it, at any rate. :-)

[alexseanchai]

fsvo "enjoying" but yeah it's going well

except rumor is now the episode I want this DONE before isn't airing Nov 17 or even (as I heard yesterday) Nov 15

try Nov 3

[yasaman]

Day 24: 632 words for a completed scene today! just two-ish scenes left to go and then I'll be done!

[sylvanwitch]

Yay! Woo-hooo! Good luck on the final push!

[nafs]

With the laptop back today was mostly just typing up a few longhand bits and moving things from the phone or tablet to the Libre Office docs on the laptop.

[sylvanwitch]

Yay, you got the laptop back! That's awesome! Yay!

[lferion]

Day 24 - 250ish words on Lamps/Hostages, still Elrond POV. Definitely still Elrond yay! Maybe tomorrow I'll take thought for the SWG challenge piece, and the Amnesty for fan flashworks.

[sylvanwitch]

Hey, you do whatever works for you. I'm just glad you're here. :-)

[cornerofmadness]

Ysilme, I think you mean bouillon cubes (after I read that as SOAP three times and wondering why you were putting it in broth). Sylvan, glad you're enjoying your story.

I got 370 words on Spook_me. And on yet another Prodigal Son comment Fic I shouldn't be writing I got 1286 words. Brain you're a jerk (and also Malcolm Bright can stop making me his bitch any time now)

[sylvanwitch]

Lol! Ah, characters who insist. They're the best, aren't they? Except when they interfere with your regularly scheduled (actually necessary) writing. ;-)

[cornerofmadness]

Malcolm, Connor and Spike apparently never about to let me have peace. They are the best. At least today it IS Connor's regularly schedule time to talk and he's doing it

[ysilme]

Ah, bouillon cubes, thank you! (LOL about the soap). We made the first taste test yesterday, and it tastes totally awesome, so well worth the effort.

[cornerofmadness]

No problem (and OMG my dyslexic brain was reading another friends post the opposite it way, she was talking soap but I kept seeing soup). Glad it worked out for you

[bookherd]

Still squeezing some words into a busy schedule!

It feels surprisingly good to be taking this project seriously enough to work on it even when I don't really have time to.

[sylvanwitch]

Yay! That's so exciting to hear! Yay!

[china_shop]

Day 25: I spent most of the day revising my time travel fic, added 423 net words, and I think it's ready for beta now. Phew! (The rest of my to-do list is glaring at me, but oh well. *shrug*)

[sylvanwitch]

How exciting that you can send it out for beta-reading! That's awesome! Yay!

[mergatrude]

Day 24 - spent my allotted time beta-ing a fic. It was good to look at someone else's writing style, and to think about the writing process.

[sylvanwitch]

That is a great perspective-developer, for sure. I'm glad it was productive for you!

[auroracloud]

The time management skills improved in that I wasn't yet horribly tired when I started writing, even if it was too late for a long writing session. I remembered having signed up for the historium bingo and had an idea for one of my bingo squares, so I managed to start a fic for that. Not an awful lot of it yet, but still! And in the spirit of writing at least something, I also added a few sentences to my novel.

ysilme, I'm not sure what that's called in English either, but it might be bouillon? Though that's French. :-D Sounds like you're getting many home things done!

Glad you're enjoying your story that actually is being written, who knew!, sylvanwitch.

[sylvanwitch]

Lol! Thank you so much! And GO you for making progress and not being so debilitatingly tired. That's good! I hope you feel even better today. :-)

[ysilme]

Thank you! Cornerofmadness also said bouillon cubes, so that sounds right. The result is super tasty, too, so well worth the effort to make it (the veggies need to be cleaned very carefully so it'll keep for a while, and then ground into a pulp which took a while as I had far too many of them to begin with. *g* )

[sakana17]

Day 24: 1118 words on side story, posted.

[sylvanwitch]

Woo-hooo! Awesome! *\o/*

[silveradept]

Put in some more words on Grief, where it continues to be "plot in a couple sentences, commentary on these paragraphs here and there that worldbuild in terrible ways." It's still nice having a plot that doesn't cause large amounts of WTFery on its own, and then have to do the worldbuilding WTF on top of that.

[sylvanwitch]

That is nice; it must feel like an actual break, given the other slogging you've been doing. Yay!

[carenejeans]

Checking in for the past three days, sorry. So for the 22nd, 23rd and 24th, I worked (hard!) on the nonfiction project, and have been continuing the experiment of writing by hand, which has been soothing, probably because I'm on the computer all day with the other project. I've averaged about 700 words a day, in several sessions each.

[sylvanwitch]

That's excellent progress, and I like both that you're giving yourself a break from the computer and that you sort of parse it out throughout the day as a break from the project. Congrats! :-)

[ysilme]

Congrats to the successfull writing! And don't worry, it's no problem to edit you in!

[ysilme]

"Mostly creepy" *giggles* It sounds so lovely that you have this going on! I really hope this kind of surprise is going to be a frequent occurence for you. ♥
I finished the day yesterday with 140 more words on my WIP, plus over an hour editing for the Christmas story project.

[sylvanwitch]

That's great progress on your projects! Yay! Go, you! *\o/* I'm so glad you're finding the time and energy; I know time has been at a particularly high premium for you lately.

And thank you for the support and joy on my behalf. It's been such a good trip that I'm loath to see it end, but, alas, I think the finale is fast approaching. *sighs wistfully*
