Write every day! - December 2020 - Day 2

[zwei_hexen]

Last night it snowed for the first time, so we're having a white winter at least for a bit - snow isn't uncommon in our parts (South west Germany) but rare in December. It's very comfy inside right now, with the fire going, candles burning, humans having chai and spiced apple bread and the felines dozing in their preferred spaces. What is your preferred way of getting cozy when it's cold or the weather is bad? Do you find it easier to write like this, or harder, or doesn't it make a difference?

Tally:
Welcome Post

ysilme here: the aforementioned family situation got mostly resovled already yesterday, which I hadn't expected or dared to hope for, and also better than hoped. Which is a good thing something entirely new and health-related came up today with my partner's mother which is stirring things up a bit. So for day 1 all I can report is an alibi sentence (although I spend most of the day writing comments and mails about the family situation, and today I got an alibi sentence in so far, but might not do much more. I definitely wouldn't mind a less "interesting" next year. ;op

sylvanwitch here: It was a long day of trying to prep lessons for online learning and coming up against repeated, work-related interruptions. *sighs* Still, not only did I add 920 words to my novel today, but I also started a new original short story as part of a virtual meeting of the student writers club I moderate. Yay for writing exercises bearing fruit!

[im a guy who can be found holding a hot water bottle in his jumper throughout the winter. rn i really want one on my left shoulder cos the work-n-computer time is surely giving me some sort of nerve injury. lmeow, & nbd ]

[310 words for day 2, which is cool with me ]

Now you've got me thinking of muff warmers (which always, ALWAYS sounds dirty to me, no matter how Victorian the context) and foot heaters in carriages, etc., and all the ways we humans have used over time to try to keep from shivering. I hope your shoulder pain eases post haste and that you keep yourself warm and cozy as you can!

Also, 310 words is a rockin' word count! No number shaming around here. No words are bad words when you're drafting. :-)
