ysilme here: 207 words on the WIP and 100ish on a story idea for B2MeM for me today.

sylvanwitch here: This evening, I read through all of "Magic School" so far and deepened the characterization of the narrator to strengthen the emotional weight of the conflict, and though I still haven't finished the story, I feel far more confident about the ending now and should be able to write it tomorrow.

March 9th - 973 words. 8 Doctor Who drabbles! Plus some work on a fic that needs dividing into chapters.

[sylvanwitch]

Wow! That's awesome work, as usual! Go, you! :-)

[badly_knitted]

Thanks! Only another 61 to go, although by the time I write for all those, more prompts will have been posted...

[shadaras]

Yay for words! :D And for editing!

Day 9: Canon review, mostly! And meta in conversation with that. xD

[ljm]

Day 9: Editing

[chanter1944]

114 words on a project that's slowly coming together. Now I'm going the heck to bed! :)

[cornerofmadness]

Got my first rejection of the year and managed 670 words on two prodigal son stories

[phoenixfalls]

20 word sentence today. Gonna have to start getting more than a sentence a day soon to make the deadline for this fic, but I'm still feeling good at forward progress.

Good luck on writing the ending tomorrow sylvanwitch!

[sanguinity]

Mar 9: I spent most of the evening writing up research for one of my fandoms, but I did get a couple sentences in on Lost Honour first.

ysilme: oh nice! Good luck with the new story idea!

sylvanwitch, yay! I find reviewing the story and clarifying the themes/conflict can do a lot to fix in my mind what the necessary shape of the ending must be.

[bluedreaming]

ysilme: cheers for words and story ideas!

sylvanwitch: good luck for the ending!

March 9: a few more sentences on the flash fic.

[yasaman]

Day 9: 1,286 words on WIP 2! Also actually replied to some comments, long overdue.

[lferion]

9 March -- 220 words on a story I am calling Balloons.

6 March -- Day 6 -- edits on the heraldry piece, finishing it. Lots of discussion, brainstorming and alpha-reading on a shared universe thing. (I inadvertently posted this on day 5 instead of 6)

[luzula]

*waves limply*
Alibi sentence.

[sylvanwitch]

Thank you! YAY for canon review and meta--both important process steps! :-)

[sylvanwitch]

Good for you! (I dislike editing, so I always think we deserve MORE kudos for doing it!) :-)

[sylvanwitch]

YAY for words and for getting good rest! :-)

[sylvanwitch]

Ah, sorry about the rejection--I feel your pain. YAY for good words, though! YAY!

[sylvanwitch]

Thank you so much! And YAY for words and good luck on finding the momentum to bring the story to where you need it to be. :-)

[sylvanwitch]

YAY for research and for sentences. Words are awesome! :-)

Thank you so much! I have these stupid productivity cues in my head from when I was in school, with just pushing through, etc., and sometimes I feel like I'm "cheating" on writing if instead of pushing through when something is giving me resistance I spend time doing review and edits on what I've already written. Tl;dr, I'm neurotic. Lol!

[sylvanwitch]

Thank you so much!

Go, you, for more sentences! You rock!

[sylvanwitch]

Excellent progress both on the story and on writing comments! You're awesome!

[sylvanwitch]

YAY! Balloons! Love it! :-)

And we will make sure the change for Days 5/6 is reflected in the tally. :-)

[sylvanwitch]

Ugh, I hope work eases up for you soon! YAY for keeping your hand in despite the exhaustion and stress! You're awesome!

[regshoe]

Day 9: 500 words.

[carenejeans]

Day 8: Alibi sentence.
Day 9: Since my essay on weird westerns has turned into a trilogy (argh!), I spent some time organizing the bits hacked off the first essay, adding new notes & thoughts, etc. Hooray for Scrivener! 8-)

Ysilme: Your steady progress on the WIP is inspiring. \o/

Sylvanwitch: Good work on "Magic School." Sounds like you're on the home stretch!

[sanguinity]

I get that. If it helps at all, you can tell your head that you have sanguinity's permission to drop into low gear with a story that's giving you trouble. Sometimes you just need that extra power and traction of taking it real slow. ;-)

[ysilme]

I feel far more confident about the ending now and should be able to write it tomorrow.
♥ and crossed fingers!

[sylvanwitch]

I am! Thank you so much!

And GO YOU for organizing and adding notes and doing the fiddly bits that need attending to before you can continue the writing. Good luck with your expanding essay! :-)

[sylvanwitch]

Thank you so much, hon! I think I landed it, mostly, and it feels really amazing to have some confidence in my abilities again. It may not last, but I'll take it while I can! :-)

[cornerofmadness]

thanks. Yeah it's a thing we have to deal with at least it was a speedy rejection

[sylvanwitch]

Wooo-hooo! Outstanding! *\o/*

[sylvanwitch]

Thank you very much; I appreciate the perspective and the kindness. You're awesome!
