My check-in for day 17: More redrafting, and finished the second draft with a total of 4,200 words.

Comments

[philomytha]

Today (17th) I wrote a little bit on a new fic, hopefully I will get a chance to write more this evening because I have lots of ideas all of a sudden...

[regshoe]

Yay for new ideas :D I hope you did manage a bit more, but in any case well done for those words!

May 16 check-in

[the_siobhan]

That's an impressive word count!

I'm in a spot where I'm a bit stuck, but I wriggled it around last night and I think I have a way forward. I'm going to give it another going over tonight.

Re: May 16 check-in

[regshoe]

(Thank you—that's the total word count of the fic, to be clear, which took me four days to redraft!)

That sounds like good progress on getting unstuck—I hope the further going-over has gone/goes well :D

[luzula]

Go you! \o/

May 17: Wrote 400 words of new fic; total wordcount 4,500. Skipped a bit for later, which I'll need to consult Duffy for (I'm at the family summer place now, and Duffy is just not something I want to lug around).

[regshoe]

Thank you :D

And good work on those words. Hmm, I have access to Duffy (The '45 here, and Fight for a Throne at the library where I'm going tomorrow), and I'd be happy to look up something for you if it'd be useful!

[luzula]

Thanks for the offer! : ) But it's not just one specific fact--I need to do some general reading about a particular point in the Rising and a particular place, to get inspiration for good story details...

[regshoe]

Oh, I see! Good luck with that in the future, then :)

[badly_knitted]

That's a lot of words, even though t]you didn't write them all today!

May 17th - 1073 words, a short fic and I re-edited the long version of yesterday's fic, fixing some clunky phrasing. There's still one bit I'm not happy with, but hopefully I can fix that tomorrow.

[regshoe]

Thank you :D And that sounds like a good day's writing—yay for a new fic and editing, and good luck fixing that last little bit!

[badly_knitted]

Thanks! I'm hoping to post it today so I hope I can sort it out.

[sylvanwitch]

Congrats on finishing the second draft!

On Day 17, I brought another chunk of outline over into the draft but discovered it needed a bridge and ended up writing about 650 words for that. All of this work is for a new chapter, chapter 14.

[regshoe]

Thank you! And yay for putting things together and new words, that's great :D

[zero_pixel_count]

I was away for the 11th-15th (did noodle at a few bits here and there but was broadly busy otherwise so I don't think I ought to count them) and flat-out exhausted the 16th - but for the 17th I have 350 words on, uh, something new because I have an attention problem.

[regshoe]

Welcome back, and hooray for new words on a new thing :D

[trobadora]

Checking in for the 17th.

[regshoe]

Good stuff!

[black_bentley]

Day 17 - finished and posted a fic on AO3 (first one for MONTHS), and started having a think about an upcoming exchange assignment...

[regshoe]

Hooray for a finished and posted fic, go you! \o/ And a new assignment, how exciting... :D

[black_bentley]

I haven't actually posted anything (apart from a couple of as-yet-unrevealed exchange gifts) since Valentine's Day, so was glad to get one done and out into the world!

[regshoe]

Aww, yes, that is definitely something to be pleased about :D

[shadaras]

Day 17: 1.6k words!

[regshoe]

Excellent stuff, well done!

[chanter1944]

Checking in for days 16 and 17. Managed a few sentences for both days, whew! I wish it were more, but it's not zero.

[regshoe]

It may only be a bit, but it's something! Well done for both days :D

[amedia]

Day 17: Alibi sentences today - getting ready to leave tomorrow for a conference.

Yay for finishing the second draft! *performs the completed-draft dance*

[regshoe]

Thank you :D Good work on those alibi sentences, and I hope the conference goes well!

[phantomtomato]

May 17: check-in!

[regshoe]

Hooray!

[cornerofmadness]

got the blurb back to the publisher and 1375 words editing a bunch of junk. One is even posted

[regshoe]

Yay for that blurb, editing, and posting a new thing! Good stuff :D

[cornerofmadness]

thanks

[sanguinity]

May 17: the week of no time and no privacy continues, but I have once again written an alibi sentence.

[regshoe]

Well done getting in another alibi sentence despite the lack of time and privacy!

[kate]

alibi, and good night, go to sleep little darling... zzzzzzz

[regshoe]

Goodnight, sleep well, and good work managing an alibi sentence before bed :)

[yasaman]

Day 17: 204 words for me today!

[regshoe]

Wahey, good stuff!

[lferion]

17 May - a processing poem, a number of comments and replies. Signed an important document.

[regshoe]

That sounds like a nice lot of stuff!

[carenejeans]

Hooray for a finished second draft! \o/

Day 17: Alibi sentence plus trying to organize (read: FIND) stuff. Sigh. Am learning a new app that is supposed to help with this. So far it's just sucked up my writing time. 8-/

Onward and upward!

[regshoe]

Oh dear—I hope the organisation gets more successful, and well done for the attempts and the alibi sentence in the meantime!
