Write Every Day: Day 2

[luzula]

Off to a good start, everyone! I never know whether to put my own progress in a comment or in the post for the next day...for now it's in a comment, but that might change. Anyway, let me know how your writing is going today. : )

Day 1: sanguinity, regshoe, luzula, sylvanwitch, scribe, badly_knitted, shadaras, yasaman, china_shop, muccamukk, yhlee, cornerofmadness, silveradept, anavkour, lferion, carenejeans, ysilme

It's most likely only permanently-low-on-spoons, aspie me, but I'm always grateful when the hoster's tally is in the posts. More often than not I don't have the spoons to check out the others' comments, or to reply if I do, and then miss them. Not something I'm proud of, of course, but social interaction and I often don't combine well. /o\
Day 1: 247 words, rewriting chapter 2 of my most recent WIP, Catch of the day. Also lots of sorting around and organising: during NaNo/November, I'm doing all my writing in one Scrivener project called NaNo [year], even if I'm rebelling like this year and working at different projects / fandoms etc. Now everything needed to be sorted back into the separate Scrivener projects, which is generally also an occasion to dity up files and other stuff.

[luzula]

I think I'll put my progress in the next day's post--it also gives me something to talk about there besides just the bare question of how everyone's writing is going.

The organizing sounds satisfying! Getting a handle on how much you've actually been writing. : )

[yhlee]

Day 2: so far, a...paragraph on linguistics sci fantasy? (But also it's 5 a.m. and I haven't slept; I'm hoping to do actual writing later today after getting some actual sleep lol.)

[yhlee]

Okay, ended up writing 1,000 words on the linguistics sci fantasy. Good enough for me. XD

[luzula]

Wow, that is indeed good work! \o/

[trobadora]

Checking in for the 1st! Didn't get far, but I did write a bit.

[luzula]

You got words, yay!

[sylvanwitch]

We have a day of one obligation and then one fun thing ahead of us, so on Day 2, I got my writing done early, adding 821 words to the novel.

[luzula]

That was prudent of you, good work! I hope you enjoyed the fun thing. : )

[regshoe]

When I hosted I remember I liked the routine of doing my day's writing, then making the new post and including my progress in it—but of course that gets awkward if you want to put up the post earlier than you want to write.

Day 2: Pretty tired today, and did not quite get to the end of my draft. But I have made good progress towards improving the difficult final bit.

[luzula]

I like to get the post out of the way early, but I think I'll put my own writing report in the next day's post.

Considering the rest of your life right now, that is very good work! \o/

[chestnut_pod]

2208 words of qual yesterday, Day 1.

(I think our time zones are askew in such a way that I see these in the mornings, when I have not yet done much writing, so I hope the offset isn't too annoying.)

[luzula]

A very nice wordcount! What is qual? *curious*

(No worries!)

[chestnut_pod]

My second of two qualifying exams to advance to PhD candidacy!

[luzula]

Oooh, cool!

[badly_knitted]

Dec 2nd - 800 words, a double and two triple drabbles. That'll do for a Saturday!

[luzula]

I am always impressed by all your drabbles! It means you must have a lot of story ideas.

[badly_knitted]

Thanks! There are always lurking plot bunnies, but mostly I just look at a prompt and think, "What can I write that would fit?" Then I poke my characters and get them working on it. I've got them very well trained by now ;)

[shadaras]

Day 2: Some hand-written notes trying to formally define a story idea that's been bouncing around in my head for a while.

[luzula]

I hope the story is better pinned down now!

[alexseanchai]

2: not as much progress as I hoped for when I sat down to write, but I did figure out a few different things that won't work, and I deleted fewer than all of the words I added today

[luzula]

Even if you had only edited words out, that would still have counted! : )

[miss_ingno]

Checking in for Day 1 and Day 2 belatedly!

Cumulatively I've written 1k on my Yuletide assignment and 300 words on a treat :D

[luzula]

Oh, good job! : )

[muccamukk]

Day 2: Wrote about 700 words on Yuletide Treat #2, which may or may not be going anywhere, and laid in the research groundwork for HBO War exchange fic.

[luzula]

Good for you keeping going on the Yuletide treat even if you're not sure where it's going! I hope it gels into something more definite.

[cornerofmadness]

Day 2 only 171 words and still no end to the chapter.

[luzula]

You can do it! Perhaps the next day's writing will reach the end...

[cornerofmadness]

thanks, not tonight

[china_shop]

3rd: finished a picspam post (which included a small amount of writing), plus about three lines of notes for a flashfic in my notebook.

[luzula]

You worded words, good job! \o/

[yasaman]

Day 2: headache pretty much all day today (thanks, period >:( ) so just a couple sentences on one WIP, and 403 words on the other once I felt a bit better.

[luzula]

Aww, I'm sorry! But that's a respectable wordcount when having a headache.
