Did some research for the novel, which I'm pleased about, but still feeling too skittish to write it. Got 1100 words by freewriting from prompts again. I hope that I can use some of these for short stories in the future.

It's the weekend! Are you catching up on words or sleep or both or neither?

If I'd been organised, I'd have said I have written every day, but I'm not part of the 'write every day' thingy, because that would be way too stressful for me. However, I have managed at least a drabble every day and a couple of days I even wrote 600 words.

So I shall continue to cheer you on!

[talkingtothesky]

Well done for writing every day! Just so you know: Being part of the thingy doesn't have to mean checking in every day. You could check in once a week, and I could add you to the tally retrospectively, if you wanted.

Thanks for being here to cheer us on :)

[cassini]

[i'm just tallying my word count before work, i slept through most of my usual writing time after being real tired from yesterday, but i managed to hit the keyboard between 9-12 and the count for the day is 1.6k. most importantly, 1k of it was for that 15k thing i mentioned yesterday ]

[talkingtothesky]

This comment makes me happy! It's really great that you managed to go back to the project that stalled before. And how impressive is that wordcount alsdjalskdj. Did you write all that in 3 hours? :O

[cassini]

[i think so? and ty - about 700 happened on the phone, which i found out again today is am amazing medium for me. netween autocorrect and the touchscreen requiring no weight behind the taps, i can really make words happen quite quickly there ]

[yantantether]

1659 words today, plus I did a first pass at editing, and it's gone to beta. Hooray!

[talkingtothesky]

You are brilliant :D

[auroracloud]

I forgot to check in last night because I was sleeeeeeepy when I finally got my writing done, but I did write some new sentences of fanfic, possibly starting my Hurt/Comfort Exchange entry.

Today (6th) I've been even more tired (long day) but I finally managed to write more character notes for my short (I hope) story. :-)

[talkingtothesky]

More hurt/comfort fic in the world! I hope the exchange goes well for you.

Here's to stories hopefully behaving and staying at the length they're supposed to...

[falkner]

Reading about how much you're writing, and all your encouraging comments is helping a lot. Got 873 words written today! I've been stressing about my writing a lot lately, so these past two days I've been just free writing without editing anything, and it seems to be helping getting me past this block c:

[talkingtothesky]

Beautiful wordcount! Freewriting is the bestttt, isn't it? I'm sure you can banish that block. ♥

[sylvanwitch]

It was a busy (in a good way) day today, but I wrote another 202 on the long poem I've been playing with.

[talkingtothesky]

Your icon is so great. Yay for busy-happy days and still squeezing in writing!

[cornerofmadness]

So much to catch up on. Got 547 words today on Mischief Christmas

[talkingtothesky]

You're making steady progress :)

[cornerofmadness]

I just need to pick up the pace

[enemyofperfect]

Another paragraph on the current fic, and a bunch more canon review for the one that's simmering. And I want to second falkner about how encouraging your comments are! Thank you for everything you're doing!

[talkingtothesky]

*hugs* Thank you <333 It's really cool to see how much we're writing as a group.

I hope the canon review inspires you, and it's great that the fic is taking shape, one paragraph at a time :D

[alexseanchai]

worldbuilding. because original fic to work on is exactly what I need right now, or something.

[talkingtothesky]

Hee! I'm ducking the worldbuilding on mine. Kudos to you for getting it done, even when you'd rather be working on something else.

[carenejeans]

I sympathize with your feeling intimidated by writing a novel!

Since I'm trying to fit a lot of small pieces together into a coherent structure, Radio KFKD (as Anne Lamott calls it) is currently playing that greatest hit "too big too much too long too many wooooords!!" I'm dealing with it by zooming out to fit the bits together like puzzle pieces until I start to crack, then zoom in to revise and smooth over transitions until my eyes start to cross, at which point I stop for the day. 8-/

Anyway, I actually added some words today, though I'm not sure how many, since they were spread all over my Scrivener docs. And I only deleted a few no-longer-relevant brainstorming bits!

I also worked on it yesterday, but got distracted and forgot to check in.

[talkingtothesky]

Thanks for your sympathy <3 We are not alone in this!

though I'm not sure how many, since they were spread all over my Scrivener docs
Omg I relate to this so muchhh. If I remember, I keep a separate list of Scrivener docs I've written in during a session so I can go back to them and count up all the new words. There must be an easier way to do that. Probably with Collections?

[china_shop]

7th: I wrote about 1000 words of a flashfic and did a TON of modding. *falls over* :-)

[talkingtothesky]

Wow, you've been mega productive!!! *makes sure you fall on something soft*

[st_aurafina]

Yay for research, I hope it is coming together for you.

I got my thousand for the day, thanks to sprints mostly.

[talkingtothesky]

Sprints are awesome, and you've been acing them all week! I'm really excited for you that this fic is drawing to a close.

[silveradept]

I started trying to feel my way into the next scene of my WIP. Didn't get very far, because I don't actually know how I'm getting out of it, but there were words.

[talkingtothesky]

Sneak up on those scenes, don't spook them :D

[alexcat]

200 word drabble and late!!!

[talkingtothesky]

Yay, words! And no worries, will add you.
