Write Every Day, December 16th

[bladespark]

Today was my toddler's last day of school for the year, so my already astonishingly bad productivity levels are about to go down even further, yay. You know the line in "It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas"? And mom and dad can hardly wait for school to start again indeed.

Still did write a little yesterday during nap time, and a little today while she was in school, and might get some more tonight if she sleeps at a sane hour. The deadline for the Jingleclop exchange is nearing, so I have to get my butt in gear. I think I'm going to end up with the shorter version of my idea, I had some thoughts about a much longer version with multiple sex scenes, but I just don't have the time/energy.

How are your various deadlines and projects coming?

[sanguinity]

Dec 16: Three or four sentences, I didn't actually count.

[bladespark]

Well, the numbers aren't as important as just the act of writing something, in many cases. :3

[sanguinity]

Exactly. :-)

[nafs]

Another 30 minutes with the index cards - only halfway through the main document and haven't thrown in most of the new stuff yet, although we're entering the realm of mostly "have not written this scene yet", "do not know what goes here" or "this is rubbish, rewrite completely" in the main document. With that said I have an idea of what scene I want to tackle tomorrow night.

[bladespark]

Sounds great! I am just fascinated by how you keep working on a system that's so wildly different from the way I write. It really does take all kinds!

[cornerofmadness]

Good luck with your projects

I'm almost finished with Spicy Advent. SOmehow in spite of driving in freezing rain across three states, I arrived home for the holidays and got some writing done. 1257 words on Spicy Advent + 300 on Come Undone

[bladespark]

Thanks! You are a champ, writing in those conditions. Congrats!

[cornerofmadness]

I am good with a deadline usually

[yasaman]

Day 16: 232 words on the fic with a deadline (admittedly said deadline is in February, but I'm hoping to finish it this month), and 1,037 words on a different fic.

[bladespark]

Getting things done when the deadline is still miles away is the best, really. Wish I were better at it! I am a "stay up late on the last day" kind of person. Bad habits formed in high school, really. That is a lot of words, too! Nicely done!

[sierranovembr]

Logged work writing today. Stayed late and came home feeling sick, so it will suffice.

[bladespark]

Hope you feel better soon, being sick sucks.

[lferion]

Day 16 - 240 words on a fan flashworks piece. Realized I had missed the initial posting deadline for HLH, but will have no time to finish until Weds. Fingers crossed I can get it done on Weds. Fortunately the Mod is understanding.

[bladespark]

Good luck! I think most people running fannish communities understand how these things go.

[auroracloud]

I continued working on the Yuletide fic, but brain was not available very much. No, no bears in sight whatsoever, why would there be bears...

[bladespark]

Does a bear write fic in the woods? :3

[china_shop]

Dec 17: 663 words on the time travel fic, but it's slow going and I was hoping to manage a yuletide treat. Not sure whether to hit pause on the time travel or just keep soldiering on and hope I'll finish a draft with time to spare for yuletide... I'll decide over the weekend, probably. :-)

Good luck with your deadline!

[bladespark]

Thank you! Good luck with getting your yuletide story done too, if you end up deciding to.

[bookherd]

Day 16: Thought I'd have time this evening, but then: surprise (chatty) houseguest! So I just generated a small chunk of words before sleep.

[bladespark]

Oops. Still, you got some words out despite having your day turned upside down, that's great!

[sylvanwitch]

I wish you time, energy, and focus to finish by deadline and hope that things work out all the way around. :-)

I added 400-some words to the Bond/Q story last night, despite being exhausted to actual blurriness. (Some day, I will not have a cold. Today is not that day and neither was yesterday. ;-)

[bladespark]

Thank you!

Winter colds are so annoying. They just linger around forever. Congrats on writing through one!

[trobadora]

I'm currently despairing over Yuletide. Made very little progress yesterday. *hides under a blanket*

Good luck with your deadline!

[bladespark]

Oh dear. Still, even a little progress is progress! Good luck with it! And thank you. :3

[silveradept]

I wrote and posted a December Days post.

[bladespark]

I admire your consistency with doing that kind of thing. Something like hosting WED is both simple and has social pressure to continue, but you're posting complicated essays because you want to meet your own goals, mostly, it seems like, and you do so well with that!

[silveradept]

It helps that I try to find topics I can natter on about for a while, too.
