[yantantether]

What a great total! I've just started my exchange fic and wrote 564 words. My plan for the next week is just to write about that much every day and then see where I'm at.

[talkingtothesky]

Sounds like an excellent plan :D Hope it goes well <3

[falkner]

You're doing great! I wish I had that discipline.

Got about 1k down so far, and I'm going to write more and try to get this story done before the day is over.
eta: finished and edited, final word count for the day seems to be 1,783!

[talkingtothesky]

Whoaaaaa that wordcount is awesome!!! Congrats on finishing.

[auroracloud]

I did a bit of research reading again. For actual writing, I felt kind of stumped, but I was able to continue one of my fanfics a bit. I also brainstormed a bit for the prompts on my gen bingo card, so maybe I'll be able to write some of them eventually.

[talkingtothesky]

Well done on the reading and brainstorming :)

[cassini]

[what an afternoon - struggled to drag 400 words out of myself over the whole afternoon and just as i was about to call it a day something clicked and another 1200 happened. and i finished the chapter i was working on, which is quite frankly miraculous ]

[talkingtothesky]

:DDDD!!! You did so well! Congratulationssss

[sylvanwitch]

What an impressive word count! You're awesome! :-)

I wrote a 175-word poem of a personal nature today. It was cathartic. ;-)

[talkingtothesky]

Thank you.

Teehee, I'm glad for you!

[alexseanchai]

...more of the concept I'm not writing

[talkingtothesky]

Yay! Keep doing the thing, even if it's kind of writing you at this point. XD

[cornerofmadness]

You did well! I got 405 on my wipbigbang

[talkingtothesky]

Well done! And thanks.

[cornerofmadness]

thanks

[sierranovembr]

I wrote two sentences just before shutting down my computer so that I could check in. I think they actually helped move this nearly-plotless story along a little. \o/

[talkingtothesky]

This challenge is so great for motivation <333

[enemyofperfect]

I went to write an alibi sentence and ended up with a hundred words. \o/

[talkingtothesky]

The alibi sentence wins again! :D

[silveradept]

I linked in a new idea for the assignment fic, which hopefully gives it some new life and a lot more wordcount.

[talkingtothesky]

Ooooh, well done for solving that problem, you're fantastic.

[carenejeans]

I wrote 420 words on an essay.

Bravo for your word count! When I do Nanowrimo I have lots of days where I think I'm not going to be able to write a word... but just start anyway, and then go on to make my daily word count. The main hurdle is always just opening my laptop. This group is so helpful getting me past that hurdle!

[talkingtothesky]

Good work! And thanks, yeah, I agree with everything you say here.

[ysilme]

*sympathies* It's awesome that one can after all, though, isn't it, if we just force ourself to sit down and write? The most important thing I learned through this challenge is exactly this. And where I wrote 10 words max for bad and alibi sentence days, it's now at least 30 on _really_ bad days (of the kind when I simply don't have time), and about 300 when I don't feel like writing and just want to do one alibi sentence.

Sorry for not checking in for a couple of days; Easter was pretty busy and I wasn't online often. I wrote 600 words on the 19th, nearly 1k on the 20th, 30 alibi words on the 21st, 1,5k on the 22nd and 1,3k yesterday. A mix of drawer fic, blog entries, writing about writing, and I also did more of the fanfic organisation stuff - I discovered some neat features of Calibre where I'm organising my personal fanfic archive, that was awesome. The alibi sentence happened on Easter Sunday; we were busy with services and family events already, and then happened to witness a bad motorcycle accident which had me preoccupied for the rest of the day. Thankfully, we know by now that the motorcycle driver had no head or spine injuries and is expected to make a full recovery. He'd lost control of his bike riding up a curvy, steep, road at too much speed, and skidded into the car behind us.

[talkingtothesky]

Ack, sorry you had to witness such a scary thing. Huge relief that he'll recover.

Thanks for updating us on your wordly achievements, you've been busy in all the ways!

[st_aurafina]

That magical timer, I know it well.

I got 1169 and I'm chasing down the last chapter. It's happening.

[talkingtothesky]

Cheering you on so hard!!! Finish that ficcccc!

[alexcat]

Finished my Star Wars challenge - 1325.

[talkingtothesky]

You are tearing through your projects at lightning speed, well done!
