Write Every Day: Day 25

[luzula]

In Sweden, the main Christmas celebration is on the 24th, so I'm afraid I didn't get any writing in (unless I want to count the WED post and WED comments). We had a huge extended family celebration this year (19 people!!) which was fun and quite exhausting. Lots of good food, lots of talking to people I don't meet often (or, in the case of the cousin's girlfriend's parents, or the other cousin's kids, have never met).

Did you write?

Day 24, checking in late: got in an alibi paragraph. :)

I'm hoping to get in another alibi paragraph on Christmas too. :) It sounds like y'all had a good celebration though!

[yhlee]

Day 25, alibi paragraph. XD Have been spending time with my family.

[yhlee]

Day 25, uh, I decided I was allowed to enjoy myself on Christmas and ended up doing 1,000 words of game design stuff. XD

[luzula]

Sounds like a nice gift to yourself, and good job with the alibi paragraphs as well! : )

[china_shop]

Happy Christmas!

25th: 458 words before we went off to Christmas lunch.

(Jsyk, I'm out of town for the next few days, so I don't know if I'll be writing/checking in. :-)

[luzula]

Thanks, and same to you! : ) Good job getting those words in even on Christmas.

[shadaras]

Day 24: Final edits on yuletide and qzgs secret santa gifts!

Day 25: SO MANY COMMENTS! :D There's feast of fics to read and enjoy! <3

[luzula]

Go you, commenting is an important and worthy kind of writing! I have only had time for my own gifts so far, but I'm looking forward to diving in.

[chestnut_pod]

Neither did I! My partner's parents celebrate Christmas, and we were over at their house all day. 19 people is a huge celebration! I hope you had lots of fun.

But today I slipped some in. Day 25: 409 words.

[luzula]

No writing on family holidays is completely reasonable! But congrats on your words on the 25th.

[regshoe]

Day 25: Comments on Yuletide fic ♥

(You see I have taken your advice! :D )

[luzula]

Me too! <3

(He carries it with such aplomb! : D )

[badly_knitted]

Happy Christmas, hope you enjoyed your main celebration and everything that has followed.

Dec 25th - 930 words. A triple drabble, 3 double drabbles, and minor edits to a fic for posting.

[luzula]

I have, thank you! : D And excellent writing on your part.

[badly_knitted]

Glad to hear it!

Thank you!

[sylvanwitch]

Merry Christmas! I hope your Christmas Eve celebrations were joyous! :-)

On Day 25, I added 414 words to the novel.

[luzula]

They were, thank you! And well done with the writing. : )

[ysilme]

19 sounds like quite a lot indeed! But as long as it's the good kind of loudness and intensity it's all good, I think, even if understandably exhausting. We're usually about 12 with the core family, sometimes 14, but that's already quite a lot in my book. As you doubtlessly know the main Christmas celebration is the same in Germany, also it's more traditional to just be the core family on Christmas Eve, sometimes with grandparents, but the bigger family get-togethers mostly happen on the 1st or 2nd Christmas day with a big(er) dinner. Siljan and I were on our own yesterday, but met half of the family living locally later in Church, and had our family meeting today. It's been really nice but also exhausting, too.
Day 23: 1,5k, some nonfic and a decent bunch of fic for the Nostalgia project - it's amazing what you can achieve when you're procrastinating urgent tasks! LOL (It rather was the need to frequently rest after shorts bit of cooking or cleaning, but at least I could put those breaks to good use)
Day 24: same here, but I managed to get in 21 words of fic
Day 25: a few senteces of fic so far, although I'll settle down with some quiet music for a bit more in a bit, if just to wind down.

[luzula]

It was good! No family conflict, which I wasn't really expecting in this case, but I know for some people it's a trial. We're usually not at all this many people, it was kind of a special event. Glad you're having a good time, too!

And good job getting some writing in while taking a break. : )

[cornerofmadness]

more of the family was here today. I edited the majority of the horror story though

[luzula]

Congratulations on getting the editing in!

[cornerofmadness]

thanks. I submitted it (and you were right, I'm the one who read that math horror thing wrong, they did include mathmaticians going nuts as okay. eye roll)

[luzula]

Ah well, it's a common trope!

[cornerofmadness]

sadly yes

[sanguinity]

Dec 25: Busy day with family! But I did write two (2) alibi sentences before bed, thus beginning a new story, and maybe I'll make more of them someday.

[luzula]

Good job sowing the seed of a story! : )

[yasaman]

Hope you had a good holiday!

Day 23: 277 words on one WIP, and 122 on the other.
Day 24: 1,537 words, and 807 words on the other
Day 25: 1,616 words, just 28 words on the other WIP.

[luzula]

I did, thank you! : ) And you're getting your usual excellent wordcounts, I see.
