Day 6:

~ ~ ~

ysilme here: it actually worked; I added 365 words to my WIP, and to the main storyline. Not a large word count; forcing myself back into the main storytelling is the major achievement of the day.

sylvanwitch here: 276 words and a lot of editing of earlier parts of the "Magic School" story. Not quite done but done with what I wanted to get through today.

March 6th - 692 words. A double drabble, a 350 word ficlet, and edits on two fics.

[shadaras]

Yay for getting into the story, ysilme! :D And nicely done on editing, sylvanwitch! <3

Day 6: More work plotting/structuring my minibang fic. :)

[china_shop]

Great work, both of you! <333

6th: one long meta comment, one mod post, and a tiny amount of fic work (including canon review).
7th: a little bit of fic work on three different fics: tiny pre-posting edits on one; typing up some notes on another (I have a bit more canon review to do on that one); and I've started looking at the first chapter of the auction fic, which I'm going to try to tidy up (for the umpteenth billion time) today as well.

[sanguinity]

Mar 6: 1800 words! Now to quick and do chores to get ready for the workweek!

[chanter1944]

At least a couple hundred words for the day, but I haven't been keeping track.

[ljm]

Day 6: Alibi edits to scene 4, one alibi sentence.

[cornerofmadness]

editing a major project I've been putting off got about 670 words down

[bluedreaming]

ysilme: that's a big achievement! (getting bck into the main storyline)

sylvanwitch: cheers for getting through what you wanted to get done today!

March 6: wrote and posted a drabble.

[phoenixfalls]

Day 6: 5 whole words! They were the hardest ones yet, as I've reached the end of what I planned to write going into this month. Now I need another idea!

On the plus (-ish?) side, I now have a fic assignment that I can work on if I'm stuck on this project when I sit down to write tomorrow. And my assignment has definite possibilities!

[yasaman]

Day 6: 340 words on WIP 2, along with some restructuring and moving scenes around. Not sure I'm satisfied with the structure yet tbh.

[luzula]

Wow! *impressed*

[luzula]

ysilme, I'm so glad it worked! \o/ And sylvanwitch, good for you meeting your goal.

As for me, I wrote my 500 words, total wordcount 25,300. Over 25K, always nice to get past those milestones...

[ysilme]

Yay for words happening! *\O/* You don't need to keep track of the count, it's completely up to you to report a specific word count. Most of us do it as a kind of validation, I believe, as many or most of us are using word count as a measuring unit for our writing. Personally I'm also counting time when I'm doing editing or research, as the validation of that helps me keeping motivated, and am sometimes also not counting written words because I can't be bothered; but for WED I'm only reporting written words I actually counted, without any specific reason.

[sylvanwitch]

Excellent work! You are always so productive--it's impressive! :-)

[sylvanwitch]

Thank you! :-)

Excellent progress on the preliminary work! I find that taking the time when I have it to do this kind of thing makes the writing easier. I hope the same is true for you.

[sylvanwitch]

Thank you kindly! :-)

I always admire anyone who can work on various projects at the same time as that is uncomfortable for me to do. Go, you, for having all these plates spinning AND keeping them in the air! :-)

[sylvanwitch]

WOW! That's fantastic! Woooo-hooooo! *\o/*

[sylvanwitch]

Words are words, and you're making them, and that is AWESOME! I echo what ysilme says here--you don't need to provide us with specific word counts unless that helps you with the process. :-)

[sylvanwitch]

YAY for edits and alibi sentences! You're making words!

[sylvanwitch]

Good for you for sitting down to that kind of work. Well I know the reluctance that comes with having to approach and finish that kind of work.

[sylvanwitch]

Thank you!

YAY for drabbles! :-)

[sylvanwitch]

YAY, indeed! Sometimes those are the HARDEST words. Good on you for writing them down! Good luck with your new assignment!

[sylvanwitch]

Excellent progress! Good luck on finding your way with the structure. :-)

[sylvanwitch]

Thank you! :-)

Excellent! Woooo-hoooo! *does the happy goal-reaching dance*

[regshoe]

Day 6: 550 words, which finished the first draft of the ghost fic at 16,500 words total! It is a bit messy, and the ending in particular will need some more work, but I'm pleased with it for a first draft. :)

[sylvanwitch]

Wooo-hoooo! *\o/*

*Does the finished draft happy dance*

CONGRATULATIONS! GO, YOU!

[badly_knitted]

Thanks! It's a bit of a struggle at present, but I'm making myself knuckle down every day and get some writing done.

[cornerofmadness]

thanks

[ysilme]

Go you for persisting! *\O/* ♥

[ysilme]

Thank you! And yay for yourself as well! :o)

[ysilme]

Oh wow, how amazing is that? Go you! ***\O/***

[ysilme]

Yay for words happening! :o)

[ysilme]

Thanks! Yay for writing and posting yourself! :o)

[ysilme]

Thanks! :o) And yay for your own words, too, and for getting over that milestone in particular!

[badly_knitted]

Thank you!
