ysilme here: I've been busy as a bee today with work for my voluntary job and did't really find time to write yet. I'm also finding it hard to concentrate on my oldest and main WIP, The Valley, which I worked on for NaNo and which I intended to mainly work on this month. So instead I took out some old ideas, went through them, fiddled a bit around here and there producing the odd alibi sentence and trying to find out what will work well to be written right now.

sylvanwitch here: It has been a very long day of grading, and I have a lot more to slog through, but I did manage to drag 745 words out of me, and though that's a little under my personal daily quota (800 words), I'll take it.

[cassini]

[had an unfocused day - got distracted by weather, work, kitchen cupboard doors dropping like flies, so only 200 words on day 4 but its a satisfactory 200 ]

[eta also very good snacks offered tyty ]

[sylvanwitch]

Kitchen cupboard doors? Oh, no! I hope tomorrow brings far fewer of these kinds of unfortunate distractions (especially cupboard door disasters!).

200 satisfactory words sound like an outstanding outcome on ANY day but especially on the day you've described.

[shadaras]

I definitely meant to write more today, but I forgot the amount of time that doing a ttrpg one-shot takes. But that was a good time; lots of laughter, a truly bright spot in the day. :)

Today I wrote:
A couple hundred words of exchange fic due tomorrow, and a flash-fic written on the spot for people who were talking about a particular ship on discord. Plus I actually settled on a title for my MDZS big bang fic!

[sylvanwitch]

Laughter for the win! Lately, I've been *noticing* when I laugh, which tells me things have, indeed, gotten less funny around here because I'm typically a big laugher, so to notice that I'm doing it? *shakes head* Anyway, YAY for laughter!

Also, yay for words and for titles! Titles are HARD, yo! Go, you! Yay!

[ysilme]

Yay for laughter and brigth spots in the day! ♥

[alexcat]

I started my Allbingo with 603 words.

Today was busy with a mammogram and some shopping then home and more stuff to do. Finally got to sit down to a few words at 10 pm.

[sylvanwitch]

Yay for that word count, especially in the face of such a busy day!

[thevetia]

Dec 3: the day got away from me, not even an alibi sentence
Dec 4: about 100 words, and more reorganization and re-editing.

[sylvanwitch]

Ugh, sometimes days do that, don't they? Well, anyway, yay for words on Day 4!

[sanguinity]

ysilme: Ah, finding the story that wants to be worked on right now! I understand that very well.

sylvanwitch: Huzzah, 745 words! I emphatically agree that you should count that as a win.


Check-in: A longhand page on the new story at lunch. Did not have the brain to work on incorporating beta feedback, but I've got all day tomorrow for that.

[sylvanwitch]

Thank you for your enthusiasm, truly. It makes me smile. :-)

I'm glad you have the time to work today on the beta feedback because I can definitely relate to having jelly brain.

[lferion]

Dec 4 - just shy of 250 words, mostly on a post. Some meta though.

Did not get the poem posted, because it was that kind of day. Tomorrow, I hope.

The other poem I am working on, the prompt is wreath/candle, but the idea of writing one in a shape is interesting. I may have to try that.

[sylvanwitch]

I hope you found the energy you needed to post your poem today and that you find your inspiration for the wreath/candle poem, as well, whether or not you shape it like one! :-)

[yasaman]

Day 4: 354 words for me tonight, and inching closer to completion!

[sylvanwitch]

Excellent! You're making progress!

[sakana17]

Day 4: 629 words.

[sylvanwitch]

Very solid word count! Go, you!

[luzula]

Wordcount for 4th of December: 700
Total wordcount on poly fic: 50,000

Woohoo, 50K! \o/

Also I read through my Yuletide draft and it is basically fine, whew. I just need a title and to round off the end.

[sylvanwitch]

Congrats on making the 50K milestone! That's amazing! Go, you! Woooooo-hoooo! *\o/*

[ysilme]

Congrats to the word count and 50k on the fic, that's terrific! ***\O/***

[marvelouscity]

Jumping back into WED! It's been a strange several weeks, lol

Day 4 - 1 page. Still working on the same pilot script that I've been working on since August. *sigh*

[sylvanwitch]

Hey, you've come back to that languishing script, and that's what counts. You're awesome! I hope inspiration strikes for you. :-)

[marvelouscity]

Thanks!

[ysilme]

Everything has been strange about this year. Great you got back to WED, welcome to this round at zwei_hexen!
For what it's worth, I'm currently procrastinating form taking up again the WIP I worked at during NaNo, which I begun in 2013... XD

[badly_knitted]

Dec 4th - 951 words.

Almost finished a pair of arm warmers, they just need sewing up.

[sylvanwitch]

Excellent word count! Also, arm warmers for the win!

[badly_knitted]

I finished that pair, so now I have two long pairs and one shorter.
