Write every day! - December 2020 - Day 1

[zwei_hexen]

Welcome everybody to another round of WED! I hope you've all survived this crazy year as well as possible until now, and also not done too badly writing-wise. To all those who tackled NaNoWriMo and similar writing challenges, congratulations for participating, keeping strong, fighting the empty pages and of course winning!

Please don't hesitate to ask sylvanwitch or ysilme any questions you have.

Tally for January 2020:
Welcome Post

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: Please excuse me for sticking to the technical barebones so far; I've had an extremely draining family situation yesterday, a horrible night, and resolving but even more draining events today. I'll write about my writing goals and plans in a day or so, but today I'll leave the field for sylvanwitch. I'm looking forward to host again and talk to you, after having made myself so rare these last months.


sylvanwitch here: Welcome one and all! I'm so glad we're sharing this month with you, and I'm very much looking forward to hearing about your writing projects.  My plan for December is to finish the novel I've been working on for months.    I'm at 106.5K words on it now, and I'm hoping to finish the first draft by the end of 2020.  Generally, I shoot for 500 words/day, but to make it to the end before the year's done, I'll need to do at least 800 words/day, so that's my goal.

*waves* Good to see you both again!

I'm battling on as best I can and so far haven't missed a day. Keeping my fingers crossed for the final month of the year.

Dec 1st - Had to go out today so only managed 700 words, a triple drabble and four drabbles.

Hey, 700 words is a great word count, especially for a busy day! We'll do our best to help you feel at home here and encourage you to make your annual goal. I know you've got it in you because I've seen before how amazingly productive you can be.

May the Muse be kind and all the words good ones!

Thank you! Trying to get used to a new mini laptop is causing me problems. I really hate the new Windows and MS Office, but since my laptop only works occasionally, a replacement was unavoidable and this was the only thing available.

I've actually exceeded my annual goal, so I changed it to a higher one 😉

Good to see you again, too, welcome back! Congrats to managing every day so far, and best of luck with keeping it up in December, and for your writing goals!

Thanks, I'm doing my best to despite RL problems.
