Day 8: 1.1k of a fic I didn't mean to start writing (but have been idly contemplating anyway), and some notes-to-self about the fic I'm not allowed to start actively editing again yet. xD
YAY for unconnected WIPs and failed drabbling and all of the words you made. I'm of the firm opinion that everything I write has value, even when it's crap. If nothing else, it clears the way for other, hopefully better/clearer things. Anyway, I applaud your productivity! YAY!
xD I set a Rule and then enforce it by allowing myself to go around the edges and do things that are related but not the same. Which for this fic thus far includes both "you may not touch the body of this fic (but you can spend all that energy on coming up with a more fitting title)" and "no actual editing (but notes about things that you've realised you need to review are fine)".
Day 8: typed up yesterday's work and realized I am probably at the point where I have to grab all the bits in this section and make them all work together. (Basically all of the notes left on my to do list are "fix opening to x scene" "fix ending to y scene" "rename Character Z to something more period-approriate") I could conceivably make up more intervening stuff but I don't have information that needs to be conveyed to the reader at this time so probably best I just leave most of the intervening time out and come back to it in a later edit if I need to. I did a rough pass of one of the bits but what I need to do is print stuff out so I can go over it with a pen and that is production I need to know in advance that I am doing. So, printing tomorrow. whee.
Days 7 and 8 involved clearing tabs and writing more on a couple projects. Still haven't quite found my way in on the assignment, but I don't think it will be an issue when the right words present themselves.
I went to bed early, before this post was up, so now I'm WAY late!
May 8th - 702 words. Doesn't sound like much, but I wasn't idle. A 500 word challenge ficlet, then I decided since I had all afternoon I'd tackle one of my longest un-posted fics, over 5k. It needed editing and a few bits re-working to make them clearer, then it had to be split in two for posting, because LJ has such a measly character limit and I post there as well as here, and three other places... Anyway, it's done except for a final read through to check for typos before posting. Yay!
I'm so happy every time I see you reporting your tally, no matter with what - so good to see after the long dry spells you had! ♥ Go you, and congrats to the great word count! *\O/*

Day 8: 200-ish words of fake married, finishing off the whist training montage.
