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: some 300 new words during some editing for me today, plus a short passage in longhand, scribbled during choir rehearsal. *coughs*

sylvanwitch here: We had student writers' club today, and I participated, as usual, in the writing exercise, on which I managed 505 words of gleeful, Monty-Python-esque nonsense. I'm almost positive it will never become anything, but, unfinished though it is, it made me happy to write it, and that's all that matters. Back to the fraught gender-and-identity, fuck-or-die politics fanfic tomorrow. ;-)

Comments

[sanguinity]

Two and a half longhand pages, which brought me up to the beginning of a section that I was working on last week. I think to move on, I'm going to need to type up what I have and take stock -- that, or skip ahead to another section of the story again. Anyway, instead of writing on my lunch hour, I spent it doing canon research and trying to put together a timeline -- a pursuit for fools, given the mess that is canon, but it needs to be done.

[sylvanwitch]

I'm so glad you're finding ways to write and research during the commute and lunch and whatnot. That's really awesome! I'm also really happy for you that you're finding your way through the story; it sounds like you're enjoying seeing where it takes you. :-)

[mergatrude]

scribbled during choir rehearsal

You have to get the words down when inspiration strikes! :)

Day 30 - edited and posted my ficlet for the "spy" challenge at fan_flashworks.

[sylvanwitch]

Yay for editing and posting, the workhorses of the writing process! You rock! :-)

[nafs]

Alibi sentence.

Also yay for Monty-Python-esque nonsense and scribbling longhand when people are looking the other way :D

[sylvanwitch]

*grins* Thank you! And YAY for keeping on keeping on! Alibi sentences are where it's at sometimes! :-)

[china_shop]

Hee! Yay for furtive scribbling and Pythonesque nonsense! :-D

30th: 1069 words on TLFTTF (The Last F**king Time Travel Fic), as I've begun to call it. I really need to get a handle on characterisation, or the rewriting is going to be horrible.

[sylvanwitch]

I love your 'working title' for the TT story--that's awesome! (I mean, the title is awesome. The experience is not. ;-). I hope you find what you need so that you can make swift and smooth progress on it. *sends you writing fairy-dust*

[china_shop]

*appreciates very much* ♥

[the_siobhan]

Another 600 words.

I seem to be hitting a pretty good groove right now, and I'm pretty happy about it.

[sylvanwitch]

YAY! I love to hear that! I hope the groove continues! :-)

[umadoshi]

Alibi sentence, but hey, it's the first thing I've written in over a week.

[sylvanwitch]

Then that's an AWESOME alibi sentence! Seriously, YAY for getting back on the horse. I hope it inspires you to keep riding. :-)

[lferion]

Day 29 - Managed to find something of a groove this evening, and produced 450ish words on the Caprice SWG piece that may be bringing this part to the end-stretch.

[sylvanwitch]

Yay for grooviness! I hope it continues for you!

[cornerofmadness]

I miss that sort of writing club.

I'm shocked I did as well as I did since I didn't start until 1130 (I spent the evening writing letter of recommendation and lectures) so I got 1061 words on a Prodigal Son story for a friend.

[sylvanwitch]

Moderating it has been a great experience. It was student-founded in 2003, when a group came to me to ask if I'd moderate it, and it has changed in form but not really in function over the years. I so enjoy hearing what they come up with, and honestly, it's motivating to me as well.

Wow! That's fantastic progress for getting such a late start!

(Also, I don't know about you, but recommendation writing for me is usually a fairly creative endeavor. I've threatened over the years to come up with a translation glossary for the terms I use, eg. "Passionate participant in class discussion" = "Hyperactive lack of focus leads to exciting practice in classroom management," to name but one.)

[cornerofmadness]

That is really cool. I can imagine it's motivating.

Oh well when I have two characters laying on the snark, things flow easy. Who knew two men could be this ridiculous while trapped in a mausoleum?

Yes it does help me. Prompts help me lots too

[yasaman]

Day 29: 1,217 words on the WIP today, and now it is bedtime for me!

[sylvanwitch]

WOW! That's awesome! GOOOOOOOO, you! *\o/*

[badly_knitted]

Day 29 - 1264 words. 1064 on the WiP, and two drabbles, FAKE and Buffy. The WiP is now over 8.7k and still on the first draft with no end currently in sight.

Not sure what's on the agenda today; it'll depend on what the new prompts are... I'll either work on one of them or try to push forward with the WiP.

[sylvanwitch]

You are SO productive! Look at you go! Woooo-hoooo! *\o/*

[badly_knitted]

Thanks! I'm thrilled with how well I'm doing, it will give me a buffer when I have less time to write later in the year.

[silveradept]

I took a long time writing out my Snowflake entry, and then did some revision to a draft of a prompt project.

[sylvanwitch]

You've been so great with the Snowflake entries! I hope you're getting a lot out of it. :-) Yay!

[auroracloud]

I've missed a few check-ins, things got rather intense/exhausting so I was taking it easy for a few days. I've been writing, though - not an awful lot, but I did write on each of the days from 27 to 29, as well as today ie. the 30th. Today's writing was probably the biggest chunk, I got my Chocolate Box fic going again and added almost 500 words. Otherwise this week I've just been noodling a bit with my plans for original writing projects and gently poking at femslash ficlets.

[ysilme]

I'm sorry to hear that things got so intense and exhausting for you, but your approach and dealing with it sounds very sensible! It's good to hear you've been writing, too! :o)

[sylvanwitch]

Taking it easy is sometimes the best way--no sense hurting yourself by pushing too hard, right? And you know we're always here, one way or another, to offer support and virtual tea and whatever else you need. *hugs* to you, my friend!
