Write Every Day, December 26th

[bladespark]

"The Holidays" aren't quite done (I am looking forward to New Years, but mostly because that's also the Perchtenlauf, which I have way too much fun with.) Still, we've all gotten over the Big Family Togetherness hump, I hope. I know it's fun for many and less fun for some, but it's effort and work for all of us, I'm pretty sure!

I still haven't written today, but I've pulled up the Jingleclop fic and I hope to add a few words to the sequel chapters sometime today. I'd like to finish the extended version by the New Year so that I can post it. We'll see, I guess!

How are you all doing on writing?

Another couple hundred words on the Secret Santa—over halfway to minimum word count now, with like three days before posting period closes—and figured out a much better way to use a character, at the expense of a plot point I really liked but couldn't figure out how to foreshadow properly and that wasn't going to work without foreshadowing.

[bladespark]

Sounds like it's coming together for you. :3

[alexseanchai]

I hope!

[sylvanwitch]

Good luck with the writing! (And I second you heartily on the holiday-related stress!)

I added 832 to the Bond/Q fic.

[bladespark]

Thanks! And yay for words. That's a pretty respectable amount.

[lferion]

Day 26 - 304 words on a Silmarillion piece for Fan Flashworks. I need to let it sit and go over it again with fresher eyes to make sure it is saying what I want it to say, but that is for tomorrow.

[bladespark]

Woooo. Good luck with it!

[sanguinity]

Wasn't happy with the current ending of the story, so experimented with a new ending. Only got 200 words of it down before other commitments interrupted, but I'm looking forward to poking at it more tomorrow.

[bladespark]

That sounds pretty good. Good luck making the new ending work!

[nafs]

377 words today. Suspect this scene is getting too long and I might need to go back to the index cards project to remind myself of the point of it, but the rewriting comes *later*. Now is the time for seeing if the laundry's done so I can go to bed.

[bladespark]

Nice going! (I never can resist doing some re-writing as I go.)

[cornerofmadness]

I managed to destroy the files I needed for work (finally found some of them on a secondary dropbox) so I didn't do much writing today. I got 263 on my prodigal son story and 383 on some original fiction

[bladespark]

Oops. Still, some words are always better than none.

[cornerofmadness]

still pretty angry over the loss of 3 weeks worth of work but it was my fault. ah well. And thanks.

27 Dec: I spent most of the day doing an end-of-year writing wrap-up meme and hiding from my PWP (a PWP which I only started to hide from a different WIP). Just bashed out an alibi sentence so I could check in. *failboat* ;-p

[bladespark]

Oh dear. Still, it's not a total failboat, you did write something!

[sierranovembr]

Today I wrote more fic reviews - 11/12 are now scheduled to post. Maybe tomorrow I will write something of my own again! ;)

[bladespark]

Huzzah! I'm sure the people whose fics you review will be happy you did so.

[yasaman]

Day 26: 391 words on the WIP, plus 985 words on a gift ficlet for a friend. And more Yuletide comments!

[bladespark]

Very nice! Woo!

[sakana17]

December 26: 4270 words.

[bladespark]

Wow! That's awesome!

[auroracloud]

I started working on a new original short story. I'm starting to lose hope at actually finishing any one story before the anthology call I'm thinking about ends, but well, if I at least get a story written, I can try to submit to something else, too, like a contest or a zine.

[bladespark]

I've had several times where I missed the reason I started writing, but still found something to do with the finished story. Just getting them done is always worthwhile.

[auroracloud]

Yes! I usually suck at finishing short stories, so I have nothing to submit to any contests or zines or such ever. If I got something done, that would give me new opportunities! And I have a feeling that my long-form fiction writing could really use the practice that finishing and editing short stories would give me. I have such problems holding structures together sometimes. Plus, reading more short stories has given me appreciation for the genre, and I would like to try to learn to do it better.

[silveradept]

Another December Days post, and got enough courage to post something I'd been sitting on. It was appreciated.

[bladespark]

Wooo! :3

[alexseanchai]

it was!
