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: 254 words on the WIP; finished editing this chapter and will send it tomorrow to the beta. Hopefully this will help to finally also get to the end of the next and last chapter1 /o\

sylvanwitch here: I overdid it in the full sun while weeding in the garden today, and now I'm completely exhausted and feeling somewhat wobbly, so I only took down 87 words in notes on how to fix the problem with the dark portal story, re: having cut out some important bits. Hopefully, I'll be well enough tomorrow to get that all done. We'll see!

I almost never know the ending when I start writing. Or the middle. Sometimes I don't even know the start, I find it all out as I write =/

July 9th - 849 words of challenge ficlet.

[sylvanwitch]

Endings are the bane of my writing life. *sighs*

Excellent word count! Wooo-hooo! :-)

[badly_knitted]

Endings are hard. Sometimes it's hard just finding a place to end a story, and then getting the right words...

Thank you!

[sanguinity]

Some things (casefic!) I have to know the ending. Others, I work it out as I go.

Jul 9: Sent Ch8 to beta, and spent a little while working on Ch9.

[sylvanwitch]

Yay for progress being made! Also YAY for sometimes knowing the ending! I rarely do, and it's often the worst part of the process for me.

[shadaras]

Day 9: Finished up an exchange ficlet. (Then spent the rest of the day with friends. <3)

[sylvanwitch]

Excellent on both counts! Yay!

[ljm]

Day 9: Continued my reading about personalities and got in a couple alibi edits

[sylvanwitch]

Yay! Progress! :-)

[cornerofmadness]

day 9 740 on Digging Up Bones and a lot of angst about missing my deadline

[sylvanwitch]

Ugh, yeah, I'm SO sorry about that. I hope you do eventually find a different home for it. I think I've noticed an uptick in interest in horror-humor, so maybe there will be other anthos? Anyway, good work getting so many words written when you were feeling not great!

[cornerofmadness]

thanks. The length is going to work against it

[ysilme]

Seconding that! (I'm SO far behind with reacting to any WED comments... /o\

[silveradept]

Checking in for Days 6-9, progress mostly on assignments and weekly posting challenges. And in finishing up that Director's Cut. I've got only a few more to go, but they take so much time to do.

[sylvanwitch]

Good luck with the time-consuming Dir. Cut project! It sounds worthwhile but, well, time-consuming!

[china_shop]

ysilme: congrats on finishing the chapter, yay! <3 <3 <3
sylvanwitch: oh no! I hope you feel better tomorrow (and good luck with your dark portal story problem!). <3 <3 <3

10th: 283 words on my fic, updated another mod post, and cleared nearly everything out of my downstairs in preparation for carpet guy tomorrow.

[sylvanwitch]

Thank you so much! I think I solved most of my problem, but I'm stuck for an ending. That's tomorrow's problem, anyway.

YAY for so much productivity of ALL sorts! Go, you!

[yasaman]

Day 9: 300 words on WIP 1, and just 26 words on WIP 2, plus a ton of comment replies.

[sylvanwitch]

Hey, those are STILL solid word counts, and commenting is awesome! Go, you!

[regshoe]

sylvanwitch, oh dear, the sun is a bit much at the moment, isn't it? I hope you do feel better soon!

Day 9: A bit of a mixed day! I returned to the WIP I put away a few days ago and scribbled some outlining notes, because the story is still taking up space in my head; I haven't quite worked out the solution yet, but I have got a better-defined idea of what the problem is, which is progress. And then 300 words on the White Cockades fic, which is proceeding to its dramatic climax.

[sylvanwitch]

Thank you! Today, I avoided it altogether and am feeling much better.

I'm so glad you're making progress figuring out the WIP, and YAY for the other fic approaching its climax! YAY!

[marvelouscity]

Day 9 - a few more sentences. :)

[sylvanwitch]

Good on you! You're keeping on! YAY!

[lferion]

9 July -- Amnesty sentence. I got a number of things done today, but not much in the way of writing.

[sylvanwitch]

Some days are like that, right? Good for you for keeping up the habit w/ an alibi sentence!

[luzula]

ysilme, looks like you got a lot done, and sylvanwitch, good job getting those few words when you were so exhausted!

I wrote 400 words on the longfic, total wordcount 53,200.

[sylvanwitch]

Thank you!

Go, you! That's excellent, steady progress for you! YAY!

[chanter1944]

50-something words for day 9, and a seasonsofdrabbles sign-up! :D

[sylvanwitch]

YAY! Good luck on the drabble challenge too!
