zwei_hexen | Write every day! - March 2022

sylvanwitch here: 417 words on "Magic School." Almost there! I didn't have the right mindset to stick the landing, so I put it off until tomorrow evening. Meanwhile, I got my first rejection of the five stories I sent out a couple of weeks ago. Ah, well. That's the way it goes. ;-)

From:

March 7th - 1034 words - 4 double drabbles, and some work on two fics for posting.

sylvanwitch

That's fantastic work, and even more so given that you've been struggling lately. You're doing great! Keep it up! :-)

Thank you! I have so many older fics I'm trying to get tidied up, expanded, whatever, and posted. I'm making great progress, but I need to start posting the things that AREN'T in my two main fandoms... There are a lot.

Yay for WIP words and notes! :D

I hope you're also continuing forth, sylvanwitch! :)

Day 7: I finished exchange fic 1! Now to continue on to exchange fic 2 and zine stuff. xD

Thank you, my friend. One day at a time (or, often, one hour at a time) around here these days. ;-)

YAY for finishing a fic! *does the finished fic dance* You're awesome! Good luck with #2 and the zine!

Mar 7: Spent a couple of hours in a medical waiting room today, and got in two pages of longhand while I waited. Prolly 400-ish words? We'll see when I transcribe.

Oh, no! I mean, YAY for words! But I hope everything is alright. (I'm not prying, however, just expressing support. No pressure to share. :-)

Thank you! Could be something; could be nothing. We'll know more later in the week.

200-ish words on one project today. If we're counting the DW comment full of fake spoilers for three of my canons (the op asked for fake spoilers, and I was glad to roll with it), more like 400 to 500 words.

Fake spoilers definitely count (and sound like a lot of fun, too)! YAY for so many words and, especially, for having fun writing them!

Fake spoilers are a blast... and rather cathartic, if that makes sense. Dang canons... :(

Makes absolute sense! It's in the same vein as fix-it fic, for sure! :-)

cornerofmadness

580 words to finish one of the original short stories (55 words over the limit go me)

975 words on two fanfics, Digging up Bones and a Star Trek/LoTR fusion insanity

Woo-hooo! That's fantastic on the word counts, though BOO! for going over the limit. (I can relate.)

ysilme: cheers for words and advancing!
sylvanwitch: I’m sorry about the rejection; good luck on the other ones.

March 7: finished the triple drabble!

Thank you! :-)

YAY for finishing! *does the happy finishing dance*

You're both making such good progress! *pompoms*

8th (already!): alibi sentence. Much distraction and scatteredness. But I made banana and walnut muffins for my partner, so that's something.

Thank you so much, hon. You're awesome! Banana-walnut muffins are an act of divine creation, IMO, so I say they should totally count! YAY for an alibi sentence, too--words are words!

yasaman

Day 7: reviewed and responded to more beta comments on WIP 1, and wrote 721 words on WIP 2!

Excellent progress on both fronts! YAY!

Days 6 and 7 have some words put in as I start feeling out a new project. I've got blobs of possible thoughts and nothing that feels like flow yet, so it's time to mine the blobs and see if a coherent story comes into existence from it.

I hope those blobs do, in fact, come together for you into something coherent and malleable. :-)

Day 6: Busy day. Alibi sentence.

Day 7: Notes and a couple of pages of zero draft stuff on 'revisionist' westerns -- I have to take a short break from this soon, there are too many cowboys in my head. ;-)

Ysilme: Slow but sure progress is good!

Sylvanwitch: Condolences on the rejection. 8-( The editor is obviously an idiot. ;-) Yay for an almost-done story!

Thank you for the kind words--they're much appreciated! :-)

Words are words, and you're making them (and developing the platform for making more of them)!

("Too Many Cowboys" sounds like a fantastic band name, btw.)

Wordcount for the 7th is 500 words, as usual, and I finished the next-to-last scene! Now there's only the final one to go, which is a sort of epilogue. Total wordcount: 25,700.
