Write Every day: December 1

luzulaI have spent the last few days just waiting to get covid, since on Sunday I spent six hours in a car with someone who subsequently tested positive. : (( We were both masked, but still. Nothing yet, and it's been almost four days. Except that maybe I can feel something in my throat? But I don't know if it's my imagination? Augh. /o\
ANYWAY. In December, I am hosting Write Every Day. What is this, you ask?
What is the Write Every Day challenge?
Write Every Day is just what its name says: We challenge each other to write, every single day. Our goal is to encourage one another and provide the accountability and/or motivation that some of us find very useful in keeping the words flowing. However, there's no obligation and no pressure, and if writing didn't happen for you on any given day, there won't be any judgement, just support and sympathy!
Who can participate?
Everyone is welcome, regardless of whether you have participated before!
What do I have to do?
I’ll post each day and keep a running tally of participants. All you need to do is drop by the comments on the most recent tally entry to let us know how you’re doing. Please know that you are never obligated to check in. Also, if you'd like to comment on someone else's comment but aren't checking in for yourself, that's perfectly fine too. We're really easygoing 'round here, and conversation is absolutely encouraged.
Is there a word limit or quota?
Nope. Write as little as an “alibi” sentence (just what it sounds like—a sentence you write to say you’ve written, an alibi for the day, as it were) or as much as you’d like. All word counts are welcome!
Is there any restriction on the kind of writing I can do?
No! Fanfiction, original fiction, screenplays, DW posts, meta, academic writing, reviews, editing, letter-writing, nonsense poems: If you can write it, it counts!
Do I have to participate all the time?
No! You can come and go at your pleasure.
I will be posting in the morning European time. If you don't say otherwise, I will assume that you meant to check in for the same date as the post. If you want to check in for another date, please say so. And please always use the last post for checking in, even if it's for past dates.
Alright, go forth and write! And come check in afterwards. : )

Date: 2022-12-01 04:51 pm (UTC)Dec 1st (And how is it December already?) - 1500 words. Two 500-word ficlets, a double and a triple drabble, because my stupid brain has decided I have to reach 300k by the end of the year. I hate my brain sometimes.

Date: 2022-12-01 05:36 pm (UTC)Thanks, I'm pushing hard to get to a point when I need less than 900 words a day to achieve my goal.

Date: 2022-12-01 04:52 pm (UTC)On Day 1, I added 216 words to my Time Maven story. I've got tendonitis in my left wrist at the moment, so I'm limited in my ability to type, but I'm happy with that number anyway.

Date: 2022-12-01 05:19 pm (UTC)And ouch, I hope your tendonitis improves. Good job getting some words anyway!

Date: 2022-12-01 05:50 pm (UTC)Day 1: Alibi paragraph.
(no subject)
Date: 2022-12-01 06:50 pm (UTC)Good job with the alibi paragraph! I am about to start reading the chapters you sent me… and also considering re-reading Kidnapped, partly so that I can be a better beta reader, and partly because I listened to it the first time and it would be nice to read it on paper. I have bought a very nice second hand early 20th century edition, with a note in the beginning that it was awarded by the Selkirk county education committee to one Lillian Spiers in 1931.
