Write Every Day: Day 1

Check-in post for 1 May! Please say what day you're checking in for, to avoid confusion about timezones.

Welcome to the new month, and happy May Day (for folklore reasons, labour movement reasons or—clearly the most important reason of all—because tonight is the anniversary of That Night in the Hut from Flight of the Heron). As we go into the new month, have you got any particular writing goals or ambitions for May?


Tally for the month so far:

Day 1: [personal profile] china_shop, [personal profile] regshoe


My check-in: Some plot planning for the next chapter of my Flight of the Heron/Kidnapped crossover longfic, and started writing with 300 new words. For the last few months I've been averaging just under two chapters a month, and I'm only just starting a new chapter now and at a point where the plot is getting a bit complicated, so I'm going to set myself the smaller goal of finishing one more chapter this month and see where that gets me.

Thank you! I've grown to love drabbles, although these days most of mine are 200 or 300 words. There are a few stricter drabble communities where I have to stick to 100 exactly, but I'm more lenient with my own communities. Drabbles are a great way of notching up some quick words.

Here's hoping I can get it finished. I keep getting distracted by other ideas, various challenges, and more drabbles. =/
