When you check in, please use the most recent post, and if you're checking in for a different day, say so. You can drop in or out at any time, and let me know if I missed anyone. Good luck with your writing today!

And today, I have a question for you: ljm is wondering how people find writing partners to read and give feedback on original work. So: 1) if you have general advice on places to find that, please comment on this post, or 2) if you want to check out what ljm is writing about, go to this comment thread. ljm is happy to reciprocate with feedback.

Checking in for day 17 and day 19!

[luzula]

Got it, and well done! : )

[shadaras]

whoops, forgot to post on yesterday's post xD

Day 19: Finished drafting a fic! Now I need to edit it.

I'll be back later with an update for today. :)

ETA: Day 20: Editing! aka rewriting, sometimes.

[luzula]

Congratulations on your finished draft! \o/

[naraht]

20: More book reviewing!

[luzula]

Go you! \o/

[tei]

500 words! And I am now at 49500 words, and really wanted to keep going to get to 50k today, but made myself stop so I am motivated tomorrow :P

[luzula]

Ha, yes, it's so satisfying to reach those milestones! *g*

[luzula]

For some reason today I could write in the car, on the second leg of the journey! \o/ I wrote 800 words, thus compensating for writing less on Friday and Saturday. Total wordcount: 18,500.

regshoe, I can see now that this will be closer to 25K than 20K--I'm sorry for making you wait...but I'm working at it steadily, anyway. : )

[regshoe]

Wahey, good progress! And no worries about the growth in word count—fics will do that, and I'm even more intrigued to see what all those words are about :)

[luzula]

Thanks! : ) And yes, I do tend to underestimate how long my stories will be...

[china_shop]

That's awesome! Go you!!

[luzula]

Thanks! : D

[regshoe]

Day 20: 600 words!

[luzula]

Such good steady progress! \o/

[sylvanwitch]

Day 20 brought yet more edits on the latest short story--I think it's as good as it's going to get. Tomorrow, I'll do one last run-through and then write the cover letter and submit it.

[luzula]

Good work keeping at the editing! \o/

[osprey_archer]

I wrote! Feeling cautiously optimistic about this iteration of Sleeping Beauty... but don't I always, this early in the game.

[luzula]

Well done, and I'm glad you're feeling good about it so far. : )

[badly_knitted]

Feb 20th - 737 words. A double drabble, and work on two fics.

[luzula]

Good work! : )

[badly_knitted]

Thanks!

[alexseanchai]

20: small progress on yesterday's story

[luzula]

*cheers you on*

[ljm]

Day 20: Alibi sentences and edits.

[luzula]

Good job! : )

[chanter1944]

680 words so far today. :)

[luzula]

*cheers you on*

[bluedreaming]

Cheers for 800 words and in the car too! Definitely a triumph.

Unfortunately, I don't have any suggestions for ljm, but I hope some leads come up.

Feb 20: wrote another drabble (again on the deadline date), and planned a different one. However, I'm more proud that I updated my fest/project airtable; feeling less swamped with everything laid out.

[luzula]

Thanks, it was good to get some progress! : ) Oh, and ljm found somebody.

Good work on the writing, and I'm glad you got your projects sorted out.

[cornerofmadness]

It's always hard to find a critique partner. I'm always looking for some.

448 words on the novel and 1064 on Prodigal Son fanfic

[luzula]

ljm Found someone! And good work, you're always so productive. \o/

[cornerofmadness]

glad to hear it

[china_shop]

21st: 321 words. :-)

[luzula]

*cheers you on*

[yasaman]

Day 20: just 115 words on WIP 1 today, on account of my agonies. Don't know what I did to my right shoulder/neck area, but it has vigorously protested doing much of anything on my laptop or phone today, hence, agonies.

[luzula]

Augh, no! I hope it passes soon. : ( Good work getting some words anyway.

[sanguinity]

Feb 20: Dad's birthday today, so busy and emotional day with family. I still got three sentences, though, so go me.

[luzula]

That does sound like something that would crowd out everything else! And yes, go you.

[chestnut_pod]

Day 20: much editing! I feel accomplished.

[luzula]

Go you with the editing! \o/
