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: 336 new words for me, which are all fic! Ok, a drawer fic, and not very inspired words, but finally no nonfic work. In the end I just picked one of my drawer fic WIPs and decided to work at it, no matter what.

sylvanwitch here: We had a long day of errands and shopping to do, so I made sure to get to the writing first, and I surprised myself with 1150 new words on the MPI V fic. I'm very near the end, and I'm looking forward to writing that tomorrow.

1800 words on a story that has no due date, incidentally finishing it and sending it to beta.

Then, because I felt guilty about not working on the story I should be working on, 300 words on that. (Half of which was transcription from earlier in the week.) Not great words, but what the hell, they exist, and I'll make them better tomorrow.

[sylvanwitch]

Wow! Congrats on getting a whole story out to beta--that's awesome! And YAY for guilt-induced words, great or not, because, as you say, they exist! Yay! :-)

[china_shop]

26th: I'm totally failing my no-internet on Sunday afternoons roll, but never mind. I spent the morning fixing a flashfic, with help from my awesome beta, and just snuck online to post it. \o/ First thing I've posted this year.

[sylvanwitch]

YAY! YAY! YAY! YAY for posting! YAY! *\o/**\o/**\o/**\o/**\o/*

[alexcat]

[sylvanwitch]

Wow! Congrats on keeping on keeping on! You rock! Yay! *\o/*

[cornerofmadness]

I sat for 40 minutes in a coffee shop trying to get things done. Ended up with 1961 words on a Prodigal Son story for a friend

[sylvanwitch]

Holy crap! That's awesome! WOOOOO-HOOOOO!

[cornerofmadness]

2K of pure snark. go me! Thanks

[lferion]

Day 25 - 150ish words on a piece for the current Fan Flashworks challenge, that also goes with the Richie Ryan appreciation thing. Hopefully it will be a double drabble, but it might end up a triple. I don't quite have the brain to finish it tonight. Perhaps tomorrow,

[sylvanwitch]

Sending you brains for today's work! (Um...that sounds creepy, but it's meant with kindness. ;-) Yay for words!

[the_siobhan]

Another 800 words! Can I get a wahoo.

I found out there's a Shut Up and Write Group that meets up every Saturday literally 800 metres from my house. I'm thinking about joining them next weekend.



Tonight's writing soundtrack: The Quarters

[ysilme]

You're even getting three, that's terrific! ***\O/*** Go, you!
A writing friend started going to such a group since a few months and said it totally changed her writing life to the better; she's even doing it on every week day, though. I'd say give it a go! Doing it nearly daily like my friend sounds horrible to me, as in, possibly needing to talking to people so often, halp! /O\ *ggg* But once a week sounds cool. I've no chance of finding something like this in my area, far too rural, but I might even to it just by myself.

[the_siobhan]

Yeah I don't think I cold do it every day either, not unless writing was my full-time job. That's like, a lot of people-ing.

[sylvanwitch]

I'll see your wahoo and raise you a WOOOOO-HOOOOO! That's awesome!

And go, you, for considering joining an in-person group! I wish you the best of luck! :-)

[yasaman]

Day 25: finished editing the last chapter of this draft, adding 797 words, and it is DONE. \o/

[sylvanwitch]

Wooo-hooo! Yay for done! Yay! *\o/*

[badly_knitted]

Day 25 - 1608 words! I managed to write and post fics for two separate challenges, so I'm very happy with that.

Now I have one more of this week's challenges to write for, and I have the beginnings of an idea I think might work, so that's what I'll be focusing on next.

[sylvanwitch]

Wow! That's an awesome word count! And YAY for posting not one but TWO fics! You are awesome! Yay!

[badly_knitted]

Thank you! I didn't expect to get both done, thought I might have to skip a challenge this week, but I started typing and it came together pretty fast. I didn't have any interruptions yesterday, which helped.

Now I'm ready for the next round of challenges... I hope!

[ysilme]

What a great word count, congrats! :o) I ended up with a really good run myself yesterday, too: nearly 1k of fic, including about 200 words on the exchange WIP. I'm going to delete these today as they don't make sense, but they helped getting me of the writing paralysis with this thing which started to haunt me: I don't really have a prompt for the assignment, just a general setting to go with, and although I've come up with a rough idea about what to write, it still rather is like shouting into a void without any echo coming back. But just "writing something, period" helped.

[sylvanwitch]

Wow! That's an awesome word count, even if you don't keep many of them after all and ESPECIALLY if they helped you break out of your paralysis. I can understand how an indistinct prompt can leave you floundering and uncertain, and I hope you find your plot thread soon, my friend. Big *hugs* to you!

[silveradept]

I wrote a work about fans for snowflake, and then wrote a fanwork from an outline that had been discarded (Also as a Snowflake sort of thing.)

[sylvanwitch]

Yay! So much fannish goodness to share! Yay! :-)

[auroracloud]

This weekend I had a writing mini-course on both Saturday and Sunday, so there was a lot of writing exercises, including some stuff I wrote on my novel after having been away from it for weeks. So checking in already for both the 25th and the 26th. On the 25th I also did some other writing in the evening, on the ambush project and my Chocolate Box assignment as well.

[sylvanwitch]

A writing course? How cool! Was it awesome? Did you learn stuff? (Don't feel like you have to answer my importunate questions--I'm just excited on your behalf. :-)

YAY for words from writing exercises and work on your novel and the ambush project AND your chocolate box assmt. You are AWESOMELY PRODUCTIVE! *grins*

[the_siobhan]

I've been thinking about doing some kind of a course because I've been feeling like I've hit a wall on improving my writing on my own. How did it go for you, do you think it was worth it?
