Write Every Day - Day 12

[luzula]

I had a busy day but fully intended to write in the evening. Then I started drooling over this amazing German plant nursery and seed store instead. OMG. Just to pick one category among many, look at all their aubergine varieties! Even through bad machine translation it's stunning. Ahem. Did you procrastinate write today?

Wow, that is an incredible range of aubergines!! So cool!

12th: 667 words on a new Yuletide treat. Not sure it's going to work yet. *fingers crossed*
13th: 765 words on the new treat, and cautious optimism. :-)

[vendettadays]

Oh, wow, I definitely spent too long looking through all the different varieties of fruit and veg! I was intrigued by "Katzenlieblinge" (Cat favourites) for, what I assume, is plants cats enjoy :D

Day 12: spent time writing in long hand towards my exchange assignment.

[sylvanwitch]

Lol! I can relate! There's a nature preserve here that has an annual native plants sale in February, and I absolutely spend SO much time scrolling my choices before picking what I want to plant. So much daydreaming about gardens of the future!

On Day 12, I had another snow day (yay!), and I added 305 words to the story that began as a writing exercise yesterday. The working title is "Maisie and the Snow Day," and it's about a 12-year-old girl who encounters her bullies at the park on the titular snow day. Maisie has only just gotten to the park, so I left it there for now, percolating what I want to have happen in the encounter and how I want it to resolve. I think Maisie is going to win the day, but I haven't decided how that will happen.

Seed and plant catalogues are great fun.

Dec 12th - 797 words, two double drabbles and work on two other fics, the one I WAS going to post before I decided it needed too much work, and the one I DID post, which only needed a few minor tweaks.

[trobadora]

Checking in for the 12th.

[shadaras]

Day 12: 333 words on yuletide at the end of the day

[sanguinity]

Ninety varieties of eggplant! And one of them looks just like a pumpkin!

Dec. 12: Alibi sentence!

[brithistorian]

Day 11: Didn't write.

Day 12: 88 words. Probably would have been more, but I went down a rabbit hole on techniques of painting, printmaking, and gilding and ran out of time.

[cornerofmadness]

Oh no, seed catalogues, my Kryptonite (it's not even helpful that I don't know German)

Day 12 - 2100 words, not bad.

[yasaman]

Day 12: 1,134 words on the Yuletide fic, plus 195 words added to an old WIP that I'm idly trying to whip back into shape and a whole lot more words removed.

[luzula]

I know, right??

And those are some great wordcounts!

[luzula]

Yes! Such an inspiring site.

And well done! : )

[luzula]

The daydreaming is an important part of the fun. : ) And good work on the new story!

[luzula]

They really are! Congratulations on posting the one fic, anyway. : )

[luzula]

Got it! : )

[luzula]

Yay Yuletide! \o/

[luzula]

I had no idea they could look so different before I got into gardening!

And good work. : )

[luzula]

Ooh, gilding. I do bookbinding, and would love to stamp titles on the covers, but have not prioritized learning that so far.

[luzula]

Hee! They are certainly absorbing.

That is certainly not bad!

[luzula]

Glad your Yuletide fic is going so well!

[badly_knitted]

Thanks!

I miss browsing seed catalogues, but I don't have the time or money to be growing things these days.

[hyarrowen]

The pictures are fabulous and I always think of the line I read once - "It's the customers, not the plants, that are being bedded"!

It's so long since I grew veggies. That was in the first year of the pandemic and I had so many I had to put some in a box on my front hedge for passers-by. It was always nice when they disappeared.

[cornerofmadness]

thanks
