Glad you got some words in even with neice herding and spending the day out.
I got in 528 words, though mostly that's wrangling left over bits and bobs from draft 1 into the draft 2 document so it's all in one place in preparation for tomorrow starting a new document for draft 3.
Day 24: not nearly as productive as yesterday! Typed everything from yesterday up, with a few tweaks and at least one added sentence. Got one more sentence down longhand and that is literally all she wrote. :P
"Words are words" is our unofficial motto hereabouts, and I applaud both that longhand sentence AND your positive attitude about having penned it! Go, you! :-)
ysilme: 300 words in a busy day is good work, well done!
sylvanwitch: Hooray for the weird western! I'm glad you've been having such fun with it. And good luck with the stories tomorrow!
1K for me today, which joins up the last of the disconnected bits of the Fake Marrieds story. I'm now at 22K in two-and-a-bit chapters. I also spent a fair amount of time looking at maps today -- I think I'm going to revise some geographical things I've previously established, but it should be a quick enough set of edits.
Thank you! Ugh, I really hate this self-promotional stuff. Why can't I just be discovered in a cafe? (Probably because I'd have to go to a cafe in which to be discovered, and I don't really go to cafes--lol!)
Anyway, YAY for putting the bits together (that sounds dirty--I'm letting it stand). YAY for geographical adjustments and 1000 words and all the other good stuff coming from this delightful story you're working on!
25th: Pretty unfocused, but I wrote 948 words of meta on my journal, and added 654 words to my WIP. (It would be so good to finish this draft! I really want to! But I keep not starting writing until mid-afternoon... *frowns at self*)
I am def. having fun with it and absolutely refusing to think about where it's going (if anywhere).
That's a fantastic combined word count for something described as "unfocused"! That said, I'm sending you focusing energy, so you can get that draft finished as you'd like!
Right now I'm still unsure. Two better days in a row doesn't mean anything with whatever this is. I've had better days before and then gone downhill again, so I'm just keeping my fingers crossed...
Lots of work yesterday, too, but I read through and did slight editing on chapter one of the new longfic. Also wrote 200 words on it (total wordcount: 4,800).
Also when I couldn't sleep tonight I think I solved a plot problem!!
The heat is still here, but I seem to be adjusting to it a little. I poked a bit at that short story that doesn't know what it wants to be when it grows up, then wrote 540 words on a new one in the same setting. The new one feels more solid so far. I'll see how it continues.
Man, can I relate to stories that don't know what they want to be. I feel like that's all I'm managing these days. YAY for words on a story that feels more solid! I hope it goes where you want it to! :-)
Day 24 involved a small amount of words in projects, but that was because I was doing a lot of driving and physical moving of stuff on that day. I still got a little father in the literature project and on the primary big assignment.
