Day 24: china_shop

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: four pages longhand for "morning" pages (I'm writing them mostly in the afternoon/evening but the intent is that of the morning pages idea) plus some fiddling with my current WIPs. (I can't believe I still haven't written anything for my non-drawer WIPs and don't even manage to stick to drawer fic, my usually long-proven means to get over any blockades /o\ )

sylvanwitch here: I imported a small chunk from the outline but made major revisions and additions to it. I’m calling it about 400 words.

Comments

[badly_knitted]

You're getting words written though!

March 24th - 1000 words, a 1k challenge fic.

[sylvanwitch]

Yay! Another great writing day for you!

[badly_knitted]

Thanks. It was tough, I had zero ideas for the challenge, but I managed to produce a fic anyway. Not my best work, but not bad, sort of average.

[yhlee]

Good luck breaking the block!!

Day 24: 1,500 words on YA book, about 500 words of solo rpg.

[sylvanwitch]

Yay! I’m glad you got some non-book words in too. 🙂

[sylvanwitch]

I am sending you block-breaking vibes, hon! *hugs*

[ysilme]

Thank you so much, they worked really well! ^^ *hugs*

[china_shop]

For the record, that Writers' Hour marathon is in progress already (but definitely not too late to join in, if you want to). "Tomorrow" may have been unhelpfully vague when I wrote it. *g*

[sylvanwitch]

No worries! Time is *handwaves* like that! :-)

[shadaras]

Day 24: A couple hundred words of fic! :D

[sylvanwitch]

YAY for words in the service of making people happy, which your fic does. :-)

[cornerofmadness]

my little prodigal son story went insane and I wrote 1025 words today and now it's posted

[sylvanwitch]

Woooo-hoooo! I LOVE when that happens! *does happy posting dance* *\o/*

[cornerofmadness]

thanks

[sanguinity]

Mar 24: 600 words.

I was stuck on the kissing on this story FOREVER before I finally realized I'm writing the kiss at the other end of the relationship than I usually do. Not after they've been pining for mumble-thousand words and can't deny it any longer, but when they're only first getting an inkling of what they want and haven't really verbalized it to themselves yet. It's a very different dynamic. No wonder I was so stuck for so long!

[sylvanwitch]

Lol! I hear you. I am having a somewhat similar difficulty myself with the novel. In the outline I wrote "[handjobs? blowjobs?]" as a placeholder, and that is precisely where I'm stuck right now. Not usually a problem for me, but these two are being difficult and also, as you say, different relationship dynamic.

YAY for those 600 words! Good luck with the kissing scene!

[kate]

more alibi sentences

[sylvanwitch]

YAY for sentences! Yay for words of any number! YOU ROCK!

[china_shop]

25th: 1,327 words to give me a completed draft of my fic. (Yay! I went to two Writers' Hours, which really helped.) Also a draft meta post that still needs a lot of work, but still. Lots today!

[sylvanwitch]

WOooooo-hoooooo! *\o/* That is AWESOME, hon! *does happy completed draft dance*

[sakana17]

Day 24: 550 words on the WIP.

[sylvanwitch]

Excellent progress! Go, you! *\o/*

[carenejeans]

Day 23: Alibi sentence due to adulting.*

Day 24: More adulting -- but it all went smoothly, so I had some mental and emotional energy left over for writing. I made some new bullet points! ;-)

*After two months of teeth-grinding problems with weather, logistics and emo family drama we FINALLY got my 91-year-old mother to a needed check-up with her doctor. It went well.

[sylvanwitch]

Ugh, adulting! Why must we adult? *sighs*

YAY for it going smoothly, anyway, and YAY for the check-up for your mom. Also, GO YOU for alibi sentencing and bullet-pointing when you are otherwise busy with all that adulting!

[regshoe]

Day 24: Finished the second draft of chapter 13!

[sylvanwitch]

YAY for the second draft! YAY!

[lferion]

24 March - finished a stanza on one of the in-process B2MEM poems

[sylvanwitch]

YAY, progress! Wooo-hooo!

[ljm]

Day 24: alibi sentence

[sylvanwitch]

YAY for the humble alibi sentence that has given us so much over the years. *grins*

[amedia]

Did a bizarre but fun flash fic exercise at the con, and left one AO3 comments (on the second chapter of the same fic as yesterday).

[sylvanwitch]

Yay for bizarro stuff and yay for commenting and yay for con-ning! Have a LOVELY time!
