Day 10: china_shop

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: I only had very little time today, but managed 70 words of a revised draft for my WIP, written on my phone while waiting for something to get finished... I've been really grateful for that delay for once! ^^ Also, established that my middle niece who will be 12 next week is not only already a fan of my own main fandom (Tolkienverse), but already firmly on her way to nerddom. I unlocked a new awesome auntie level! *\O/* (her words)

sylvanwitch here: We spent most of the day hiking in a nearish by state park, but before we went out for our hike and picnic adventures, I took a bunch of words out of the flash fic and added 236. I almost have the ending (?). I think it will largely rely on the title, which I've only just come up with. Hopefully, I'll have a complete, rough first draft tomorrow.

Comments

[shadaras]

Phone words! So powerful. <3 Also, ysilme, having a fannish niece sounds so delightful; I'm happy for you both. :)

(sylvanwitch, I hope things are going well for you too!)

Day 10: 1.2k of fic for the exchange due furthest from now but which had a ship/prompt I was very excited by (it's not done yet, but it'll get there).

[sylvanwitch]

YAY! I'm a firm believer in doing the one that is coming in the strongest at the time (unless there is a looming deadline, in which case, sometimes I have to eat my desires and do what I'm 'supposed' to instead). I'm glad you put down so many words on it! :-)

And thank you! It did go well today.

[sylvanwitch]

I already knew you were the Nerd Queen, my friend, but to be leveled up by your niece? That's a whole 'nother level of awesomeness. YAY for awesome aunties! :-)

[ysilme]

Thank you! LOL Although she's not the first one; her elder sister (15) took to nerddom two years ago or so, too, is writing fanfic herself by now, and is sharing my former main fandom (Potterverse), including my favourite characters (before she knew how much I loved them). But with her, it was kind of organic, there never was this clear moment of realisation, so the levelling-up-feeling really happened only now.
Go you for almost having the ending, I hope it's all coming together well today! *hugs*

[mtassarin]

More planning. I focused on my two leads' joint backstory on day 10 and wrote about 1.5K of something that may turn into a prequel short story one day.

[sylvanwitch]

I love all the variety of prep work you're doing for this project! YAY!

[sanguinity]

ysilme: Congrats on impressing the nieceling, and congrats, too, on snatching 70 words out of the jaws of a busy day!

sylvanwitch: Ooh, hiking! What a delightful way to begin your summer break! And it sounds like the flash fic is coming together. Titles are a VERY VALUABLE word-count-free space for a flash fic!


Me, I've got 350-ish words of fake married working-themselves-up-to-cuddling.

[sylvanwitch]

It was absolutely glorious to get out there under the sky and sun! And the park had expanded a great deal since the last time we'd been there, years ago, so it was an afternoon of many delightful surprises! :-)

YAY for pre-cuddling hijinks!

[china_shop]

11th: 424 words on the WIP, plus some pondering. I keep meaning to/trying to outline, but my brain is refusing to produce useful thoughts on the matter, so I guess I'll just keep adding words for now?

[sylvanwitch]

Ugh, I feel you. I'm still stuck on the ending. I think I almost have it, but it still doesn't feel right. More pondering, as you say! YAY for words and thinky thoughts!

[china_shop]

Good luck with it! <3

[nafs]

Day 10: more moving things into the main document, adding new sentences here and there to make it all join up better. Discovered a scene I wrote in stops and starts (and started something like 4-6 different versions) that I'd thought I'd finished, I had not, so finishing that is on the docket for this weekend along with the other fixes on the list.
Polled the cheerleaders, two will go with whatever I want and the third just wants me to give her something to read yesterday if remotely possible, so the aim is to keep fixing things until Monday and then send them as much as I have done, as long as it doesn't stop on a total cliffhanger. (It's been 14 months since I last sent them anything, and I don't want them to have to wait another year in suspense, that would be mean.)

[sylvanwitch]

That *would* be mean, and it's good that you're being kind instead. I often find that I'm more likely to get something checked off my to-do list if not doing so means inconveniencing someone else. If it's just *me* waiting for it? Well, that's a recipe for disaster. ;-) Anyway, you're making great strides. YAY!

[marvelouscity]

I made a spreadsheet of all of the projects I'm working on/planning on working on! And wrote loglines for a couple of them that are still at the idea stage.

[marvelouscity]

Not counting fic ideas - I already have a long list of those that I will probably never get to.

[sylvanwitch]

You're admirably well-organized! My "spreadsheet" consists of scrolling through titles on a "stories in progress" file. Lol! Go, you!

[cornerofmadness]

yay for hiking. I got 2071 words on 4 projects two of which got published including intoabar

[sylvanwitch]

Hiking is awesome, and I hope you get to do it again as soon as it's possible for you to do so. I know you find great comfort in nature just as I do.

Amazing word count! CONGRATS on publishing those stories! YAY!

[cornerofmadness]

yes I do thanks.

[satoyan]

Day 10: a few sentences.

[sylvanwitch]

Words are still being difficult for you, huh? Well, I'm sending you lots of happy word-making energy. :-)

[luzula]

Aww, how lovely with the fannish niece!

On the 10th, I finished editing chapter 16.

[sylvanwitch]

YAY for editing! You're sailing along!

[badly_knitted]

June 10th - 1041 words, a 1k challenge fic (which was one of those things where I got the idea as soon as I saw the prompt and it practically wrote itself), and a smidge of editing, some on the first half of the old fic I sorted out a few days ago, the rest on the other old fic I've been working on since then.

[sylvanwitch]

Oh, I do love when that sort of storyifying happens, when the words just flow from the prompt onto the page. YAY!

[badly_knitted]

Me too, it made a pleasant change after all the wrestling I've done lately with older fics and new prompts.

[lferion]

10 June - Amnesty sentence on the new fan flashworks prompt, posted the previous prompt fic to AO3, more brainstorming chat.

[sylvanwitch]

Progress in several vectors? YAY!

[trobadora]

Alibi sentence again for the 10th.

[sylvanwitch]

But you're here with us, and that's what matters! Also, I hope you're able to find more time for writing in the near future. :-)

[ljm]

Hi!

I'm trying to get back into the habit of writing, so I'm joining now. I wrote a few sentences of original fiction yesterday (June 10th).

[sylvanwitch]

Welcome to WED! It's good to have you with us.

YAY for words! That's a good start to re-establishing your habit! :-)

[ysilme]

A very belated welcome to the challenge also from me! It's lovely to have you joining us, and I hope the challenge and the community can help you with your goal! :o)

[yasaman]

Day 10: 188 words on the plotty WIP for me yesterday!

[sylvanwitch]

Excellent progress! Go, you! :-)

Day 11

[ljm]

Today I wrote 422 words of a humorous prompt (and read up on regency dancing, though I've yet to implement my research)

Re: Day 11

[sylvanwitch]

Excellent word count and YAY for research (especially of the Regency variety--yum!). :-)
