ysilme here: nothing for me yet today, I'll add it later.

sylvanwitch here: I edited the story I finished yesterday, adding and subtracting--mostly tightening. I'm going to let it sit for a day or two and then send it in. The deadline for submissions fast approaches!

Posting this in the right place this time...

June 3rd - 1051 words. Less than yesterday, but across fewer projects. A triple drabble for a challenge, then I dug out and expanded an old ficlet I was never entirely happy with, so now the new improved version has been posted. Also finished a longer fic that's been languishing on my hard drive for a few months. Hopefully I can get that one posted soon.

[shadaras]

Day 3: A number of words! :D I wrote out a list of all the drafts I had that I'd been ignoring because of fandom 5k, and looking at that made me go "oh I really want to finish that one", so I think I've successfully broken that hyperfocus. (Which is good—the fandom 5k fic is complete, and at this point it needs to sit for at least a week before I can do anything meaningful.)

[mtassarin]

I keep plotting. Today was more about untangling a knot than about moving forward with plotting or worldbuilding, but some progress was still made, even if it's hard to measure in words.
Also, I had a random dream about a couple of characters from an entirely different story and they sort of haunted me all morning. So to get them/the dream out of my head and to go back to plotting the new project, I wrote a brief flash fic about them, just 320 words or so.

[china_shop]

4th: 1070 words on WIP #2. I'm not very happy with them, but I've pushed past my stuck place, and that's the main thing -- or at least, that's what I'm telling myself. :-)

[nafs]

Day 3: Typed up yesterday's work again but the new writing was very start-and-stop. I think I got one useable paragraph out of it but it counts.

[sanguinity]

sylvanwitch: I don't know about you, but I find the process of tightening a story so satisfying, even exciting.


Jun 3: Added a couple of hundred words to fake marrieds, then did research for a new story, because of course I did.

[cornerofmadness]

595 words on the unconventional ship thing

[yasaman]

Day 3: a net of 134 words of editing, plus 429 words on the other fic.

[marvelouscity]

Day 3 - one alibi sentence of fic, plus I edited a couple of old work samples and wrote a cover letter to apply to a freelance job.

June continues to be ... not ideal. I'm apartment hunting in a big city, and today I had a showing scheduled that got canceled less than 15 minutes before I was supposed to be there because it was already leased. Which was the second time today that an apartment was leased before I could get to a showing. And the SIXTH time this week. Things are wild out here.

[luzula]

3rd of June:
I have edited chapter 10 of my poly fic, and added 300 words to the short fic. I am giving each chapter a title, which I think is a good idea, but ack, it's so hard!

Sylvanwitch, good job with editing, and Ysilme, I hope you get some writing in!

[silveradept]

Days 2 and 3 have mostly been writing myself out of the corner I was putting myself in and working on my new installment of the Suck Fairy's Greatest Hits. It's nice to have a good set of words happen each day.

[lferion]

3 June -- chat and brainstorming for non-TRSB fic, 100+ words of notes/ideas

[the_siobhan]

I did it! I swear it's been months since I put any words down. But I've been thinking about an old project and tonight I opened it up and slapped down another 550 words. It felt good!

[alexcat]

For day 3, I wrote 1578 on a Steve Rogers Bingo fic.

[carenejeans]

Day 3: More noodling on the silly essay on the E.E. Doc Smith book. I was so tired after a long day that nothing seemed very funny! But I went through and highlighted some bits in the book that I'm sure I'll find hilarious later 8-) and made some more notes.

[tehomet]

Day 3 - 256 words. :)

[ysilme]

I hope you're well satisfied in time, and of course that it'll be accepted! *hugs*
715 words for me for yesterday; about half of this for the WIP, the rest is meta. I'm not yet back to how I want to write, focus-wise, but it's much better than a few days ago.
