regshoe | Write Every Day: Day 16

Check-in post for 16 May. Please say what day you're checking in for, to avoid confusion about timezones, and let me know if I've missed you in a tally.

Over halfway through the month! I think we're all making good progress on our various things, and I hope you're enjoying the month's writing so far. :)

My check-in for day 16: More redrafting, and 600 words on the longfic.

trobadora

Checking in for the 14th, 15th and 16th.

I'm also missing from the tally on the 12th - I seem to have forgotten to check in, but I did write on that day.

From:

regshoe

Brilliant! I will add you for all four days :)

From:

sylvanwitch

You are making such steady progress! :-)

On Day 16, I added 680 words to chapter 13.

From:

regshoe

Thank you—and so are you :D

From:

black_bentley

Your longfic sounds like it's coming along nicely :)

My check-in for Day 16: re-wrote the ending of the draft I finished yesterday, so that will hopefully be in some kind of final form soon!

From:

regshoe

Thank you—it's making progress, I think :) And yay for getting closer towards a final form for that draft!

From:

luzula

I posted the last chapter of my longfic! \o/ \o/ Also did some editing on new fic, post beta feedback.

From:

china_shop

Woohoo! Congrats! :D

From:

sanguinity

I saw the notification! Congratulations!

From:

regshoe

Wahey, very many congratulations! \o/ :D Aww, that's really amazing.

And well done on the editing also!

From:

badly_knitted

*cheers you on*

May 16th - 930 words on a challenge fic. Only problem is, the challenge it's for has a 500-word limit, so I had to do some harsh editing to create a 500-word version. It's changed some aspects of the story, but I'll be posting the longer version to my journal once I've tidied it up and perhaps added a bit more.

From:

regshoe

Excellent stuff :D Staying under a maximum word limit is a real challenge when you've got more things to say in the story! I think posting both the 500-word version and the longer version is a good idea, and it'll make an interesting comparison.

From:

badly_knitted

I do that quite a lot with challenges, although I've been trying to stick with the 500-word limit recently on this one. This fic though, it was an idea that came to me Monday when I was washing the dishes, then the news challenge prompt was posted Tuesday and my fic idea seemed to fit. A bit of serendipity there, so I started expanding on the notes I'd jotted down. Sometimes plot bunnies just pop up out of nowhere...

From:

china_shop

Oops, I forgot to check in yesterday.

16th: 1200 words.
17th: read through a 10k draft and made some edits.

Good luck with your longfic!

From:

regshoe

Thank you! And great progress there on both days :D

Day 16: Alibi sencente on a drawer fic.
My morning/forenoon writing time was cut short by a check-up vet visit with the boys, my evening with baking cakes for Siljan's office after-birthday party tomorrow (his birthday was over a month ago *g*). One of the cakes completely lost its structual integrity after taking it out of the mould so I whipped up a tray of muffins instead which are now baking after which I'll fall into bed. ;op

From:

regshoe

Well done fitting in an alibi sentence in that busy day! I hope the boys are well, and good job saving the baking with those replacement muffins :D

From:

shadaras

Day 16: 500 words

From:

regshoe

Great stuff!

From:

phantomtomato

Day 16: Start of vacation week, 2k words. This section is less certain, so let’s churn! Cutting can come next month.

From:

regshoe

That sounds like a good strategy! Very well done for those words, and enjoy the rest of your vacation :D

From:

sanguinity

May 16: Busy day without much privacy (and I’m still super short on sleep) so here, have an alibi sentence:

”Keith, come back to bed.”

From:

regshoe

Well done getting in an alibi sentence, and what a good sentence it is :D

From:

kate

just an alibi sentence for tonight

From:

regshoe

Good stuff!

From:

cornerofmadness

Day 16 540 on a story and I realize tomorrow is my deadline for the novel blurb my editor is gonna swat me if I don't get a move on that

From:

regshoe

Well done for today's writing, and good luck with that novel blurb! :D

From:

cornerofmadness

thanks

Day 16: Another comment on AO3! Yesterday I finished going through a multi-chaptered fic that I especially enjoyed, leaving a comment on each chapter, and I started another one today. Going through them this way gives me so much better of an appreciation and understanding of the craft employed by each writer and the insights each of them provides into the characters and situations. Much more so than I was galloping through them to find out what happens next!

Yay for redrafting and for 600 words!

From:

regshoe

I know just what you mean. Reading each chapter closely in order to write chapter-by-chapter comments does let you really appreciate the details of a fic—it's very rewarding, and I'm sure the authors are delighted to get such thoughtful feedback too! Good stuff :D

From:

yasaman

Day 16: 200 words for me today!

From:

regshoe

Great, well done :D

From:

lferion

16 May - some comments & replies, somewhat ineffectual list-making. Better than nothing at all?

From:

regshoe

Definitely better than nothing! :)

From:

carenejeans

Yay for redrafting and 600 more words!

Day 16: Did some revising and organizing but no new words for me (for me, revision usually means fewer words than I started with!).

From:

regshoe

Revising and organising are good progress, well done!
