Write every day: Day 2

[luzula]

How was your writing day? I wrote about 150 words on the epilogue of my longfic, and since my writing the last few months has not been very productive and today was a busy day, I am happy with that. More tomorrow, hopefully.

Tally:
Day 1: luzula, trobadora, badly_knitted, goddess47, sylvanwitch, sanguinity, cornerofmadness, cornerofmadness, carenejeans, chestnut_pod

Bonus farm news: I harvested my experimental oca plant yesterday. The yield was very small, and I had expected no better, as they really need a longer growing season. Perhaps next year we'll try it as one of the experimental ground crops under the high-growing tomatoes in our new polytunnel.

Day 2: Wrote 500+ words on one of those exchange fic! Yay!

[luzula]

Woohoo, that's great!

[garonne]

Day 2: Watched a film (The Old Guard 2) and wrote a 450-word fic for it

if ducks eat acorns, the yolks of their eggs will be greenish!

That is very cool.

[luzula]

Oh, go you! It's always satisfying to post something. : )

Re: yolks, it is cool, and it was some time before we figured out that must be it. Ducks eat all sorts of things you wouldn't expect.

Dec2nd - 1014 words. Work on two of my unfinished expanded ficathon fills, an expanded 1character sentence, a drabble, and two double drabbles.

[luzula]

Impressive wordcount! \o/

[badly_knitted]

Thank you! It was a a bitty sort of writing day, but the words mount up.

[sanguinity]

Dec 2. 1K words! The story has veered from plan, but I like the potential new ending that goes with this direction better than the old one.

[luzula]

Wow, you're productive today! It's always interesting when the story veers off in an unexpected direction.

[alightbuthappypen]

Tooo tired to write for day 1, but dragged out 203 words for day 2 :)

[luzula]

More than I managed! : )

[trobadora]

Checking in for the 2nd.

[luzula]

Got it!

[sylvanwitch]

Oh, that's a great number of words for a busy day, especially under the other circumstances you mentioned. Go, you! :-)

On Day 2, I added 415 to "Dixon and the Detective."

[luzula]

Look at your steady progress! \o/

[china_shop]

Days 1 to 3: work on my Yuletide. Slow going so far, but I'm hoping to pick up steam. *fingers crossed*

[luzula]

It's the first time since 2007 that I don't sign up for Yuletide, which is a little sad. But I think it was the right decision. While for you, it's a fairly new thing, I think? In any case, good luck with it!

[china_shop]

Yes, no point doing it if you're not feeling it. There's always next yet.

It's my second year. Last year I wrote tons of treats as well, so I feel like I set myself a high bar -- which I'm not sure I'm going to meet this time around.

Hi! Thanks for hosting us this month!

I had never heard of oca before — I had to look it up. It sounds interesting!

My goal for December is to finish my GYWO goal: At the end of November I was at 180,107, which meant I was behind schedule if I'm going to reach 200,000 by the end of the year (spoiler: I am).

Day 1: 713 words of "Madame Park's Academy II." Day 2: 1031 words of "Madame Park's Academy II" — I've reached the end of chapter 30, but I don't have the energy to come up with a title for this chapter and then post it, so I'll do that tomorrow.

[luzula]

You're welcome! : )

I can't say the small tubers we harvested were particularly tasteful, but then, neither are potatoes if you just boil them. Maybe if we cook them differently.

Wow, that's an impressive goal, and congratulations for being on track to meet it! Good work on the first two days.

[brithistorian]

According to the Wikipedia entry on oca, in Mexico they're eaten raw with salt, lemon, and hot pepper. You might want to give that a try.

I've never failed to reach my GYWO goal before, and I'm hoping that I'll make it this year as well. *fingers crossed*

[luzula]

That sounds intriguing! I steam-cooked them and ate with salt and butter. But we're saving the rest to plant next year, so we'll try that Mexican recipe then.

[cornerofmadness]

yay for harvesting

I had a snow day which worked out well for me 1350 words on two fandomtrees stories

[luzula]

Harvesting is great. And go you for making the most of your snow day!

[chestnut_pod]

Lesson plans and dissertation! Check!

[luzula]

Go you with the dissertating! \o/

[carenejeans]

Day 2: Almost 400 words. Most of it was whining (I had a hard day) but I got a few usable notes down for later.

[luzula]

Sometimes you need to whine! And I hope tomorrow is better.

[ysilme]

Thank you so much for hosting December! ♥

Life hasn't stopped yet from the November madness for me, so I'm just quickly popping in to report writing happened on days 1 + 2. Yay for words happening for you, and double yay for the epilogue of the longfic! ***\O/***
Oca plant = oxalis tuberosa? I had to google it after first wondering if it was ocra with a typo. Fascinating, I've never heard about this before!

[luzula]

Good job with the writing! \o/ Hope things calm down soon.

Yes, Oxalis tuberosa. I've been geeking out so much about various vegetables...
