Write Every Day: Day 3

[luzula]

Unrelatedly, I read this blog post arguing that in fact Persephone was in the Underworld during the summer! Interesting, that had never occurred to me as a possibility.

Anyway, I have decided to put my own progress in the next day's post. I have started on a Yuletide treat which is likely to be a bit of a challenge for me, since it's not just dashing off a thousand words for a canon I know well. But I have reviewed canon, and yesterday I wrote 500 words that flowed well, so I am optimistic that I can probably do it. How is your writing going?

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

Day 2: china_shop, ysilme, yhlee, sylvanwitch, regshoe, badly_knitted, shadaras, alexseanchai, miss_ingno, muccamukk, cornerofmadness, china_shop, yasaman

Day 3: china_shop

Comments

[yhlee]

Yay for words flowing!

Day 3: so far, alibi paragraph in linguistics sci fantasy. As usual, hoping to get actual writing done later in the day.

[yhlee]

Day 3: Wound up with 1,000 words and called it quits for the day. XD

[luzula]

Yay, that sounds like a good day's work!

[ysilme]

Good luck with the Yuletide treat and the not-so-familiar canon!
Day 2: 1,3k, but most of it was nonfic and meta, with mere 11 words for the current WIP. *g*
Day 3: 1,3k, with about 700 words for the Nostalgia project, the rest is nonfic including some reviews.

Question: is it better for you to add another tally comment if commenting twice on one entry, or is it ok to edit the exisiting one if you haven't yet commented to it, like I'm doing here?

[luzula]

Thanks! : )

Re: the wordcount, I thought you were going to take a rest. : P

It's better to edit the existing comment!

[ysilme]

Re: the wordcount, I thought you were going to take a rest. :
And I do! It's just what happens at random writing moments throughout the day; the words seem to multiply by themselves. OTOH something is eating up hours of my time without me noticing... I'm wondering if there's a correlation. XD

[chestnut_pod]

Day 2: 800 words of qualifying exam, and done!

[luzula]

Woohooo! \o/

[sanguinity]

Dec 2: A nice chunk of words!

[luzula]

Go you! \o/

[regshoe]

Ooh, that sounds like a fun challenge—I hope the treat-writing goes well :D

Day 3: Finished my draft! It needs a little more polishing, but I do now have a complete Thing.

[luzula]

Yes, sometimes it's good to venture a little outside of your comfort zone.

Yay, finished draft, wahey! (As you would say. : ) )

[regshoe]

Yay, finished draft, wahey! (As you would say. : ) )

:D (Thank you!)

[badly_knitted]

Good luck!

Dec 3rd - 900 words. 2 double drabbles and a 500-word ficlet.

[luzula]

Thanks! And good wordcount as usual. : )

[badly_knitted]

Thank you!

[sylvanwitch]

Good luck with the treat! :-)

On Day 3, I added 339 words to the novel.

[luzula]

Thank you! And good progress there. : )

[shadaras]

Day 3: ~400 words on Yuletide :)

[luzula]

Good job! : )

[china_shop]

4th: 1273 words of a flashfic that I'm not sure works, but I made lots of words anyway. :-)

[luzula]

I hope it works on reread! And if not, at least you made words. : )

[silveradept]

Going well, checking in for Days 2 and 3, progress in daily posting materials and in trying to wrap my head around my remaining uncompleted assignment.

[luzula]

Good luck with the assigment! : )

[chanter1944]

Eeeeks, I'm late! Tagging in for days 1, 2, and 3.

A handful of sentences for day 1 was all I had, but not zero.

102 words for day 2.

And another handful of sentences, plus some editing, for day 3.

[luzula]

No worries, and good work writing! *writes you into tally*

[sanguinity]

Dec 3: Another nice chunk of words!

[luzula]

A chunk, the proper unit for words!

[sanguinity]

Particularly when one wishes to be vague!

[scribe]

Day three: another sentence or two on the D&D project, and some feedback owed to a friend!

[luzula]

Good for you making words! : )

[muccamukk]

Day 3: Did a bunch of research, wrote the start of an outline for my HBO War exchange fic.

Glad to hear your Yuletide fic is progressing!

[luzula]

Thanks! Sounds like you're also making progress. : )

[cornerofmadness]

Day 3 it's all about the editing today

[luzula]

A most necessary task! Good for you.

[lferion]

Huh, I forgot to check in yesterday.

2 December -- a drabble for fan flashworks that needs to sit for a bit to see if I am actually happy with it.

3 December -- another drabble for the Tea thing.

[luzula]

No worries! Good job drabbling. : )

[yasaman]

Day 3: 447 words on one WIP and 339 on the other today!

[luzula]

Good work! : )

[carenejeans]

Checking in for Days 2 and 3. Some editing and some new words for each day, including two drabbles. 8-)

[luzula]

Well done! : )
