Feb 23rd - 700 words. 2 double drabbles and a triple drabble.

Nice work! : )

Thanks! Doing some drabble restocking for various fandoms.

This is not my Day 23 check-in -- this is to say that yesterday I again opted for reading over writing. (I started the first Murderbot book on a rec from several fen.)

I'll be back here later tonight if I get some writing done today.

Well, those books are very readable, so I don't blame you! : )

Day 23: 650 words. Total word count of the ghost fic is now over 10,000 :D

Oooh, congratulations on the milestone! \o/

My word count only increased by 200 words, but I also finished chapter four and edited it, adding and deleting some words in the process. Then I sent it off to beta! \o/ Total word count: 19,200.

Now I'm tired, must go to bed.

Hooray! There's nothing like getting a story in good enough shape that it can go to beta.

Yes, it's very satisfying! : )

Congrats! It's been a productive month for you.

Honestly this is about the pace I've been keeping during the whole pandemic!

There is something about post-pandemic productivity, isn't there? I'm not as consistent as you but I've definitely written a lot more since that spring.

For me, it was partly coincidence, since I happened to get into a new fandom in the beginning of 2020. But also, I guess it's a matter of turning to things one can do, when other things become impossible...

On Day 23, I slashed the hell out of an older story (circa 2008, I think) and beat it into shape for a market I researched today. Tomorrow, I'll give it a final read-through and submit it.

That sounds ruthless! *g* Good luck with it.

Work today, so not MANY words, but I did get in a few.

Well done! : )

Day 23: editing! :D

Go you with the editing! \o/

Feb 23: Wrote!

Yay! \o/

I only managed a couple sentences and a lot of editing yesterday (a document of mine fell victim to a thumb drive wiggle weirdness and partially corrupted, grrr, so I had to fix the darn thing), but 205 words today.

Oh no, that sounds frustrating! But well done.

I wrote today!

Day 23: Almost forgot to write today, but got in an alibi sentence and some notes

Ooops! Well done for getting some writing in under the wire.

Day 23: writing happened!

Cheers for getting the story to beta! I’m guessing that the research hopefully also went well.

Feb 23: started writing another drabble, but it might end up needing to be a double drabble or triple drabble.

Thanks! Yes, the research did go well, since I had access to some books at home that I didn't in the mountain cabin. : )

Good luck with the drabble, or former drabble anyway. Sometimes that format is too restrictive!

Day 23 made up for yesterday. 300 words on the novel, 1300 words on a couple Prodigal Son stories

Yay, that's a great word count! \o/

thanks

Day 23: just 204 words on WIP 1 today!

That's still good work! : )

I wrote a drabble this evening! :)

Go you! : )

Day 23. I wrote a 569-word postal letter to a fan-friend who I used to see once or twice a year at cons, but haven't seen since the cons went virtual due to the pandemic.

Oh, that's nice! Now I'm wondering if you wrote it by hand and then counted all the words. : )

No, this time I wrote it in a Word Doc and took the word-count from there. Usually I literally use a PEN for writing to a pen-pal, but I was printing out some of my fic to send to this friend so I was already on the computer (keyboard-pal?) and just continued that way.

23: Working on my query letter

Best of luck, I hope you find some new angle on it!

22 February -- 222 words on a poem celebrating the two-ness of the day, which I managed to post to Fan Flashworks while it was still 22-02-2022 somewhere in the world.

23 February -- 110 words on a piece I was brainstorming the other day.

Hee, that's great! \o/
