My check-in for day 21: Continued the redrafting of chapter 16.

Comments

[sylvanwitch]

On Day 21, I brought more narrative outline over into the first draft and began editing that into the story. I added 446 new words to the text and took out a bunch of old ones from the outline. I got about halfway through editing the newest chunk, so I have a definite place to start tomorrow, which helps to keep me on track.

[regshoe]

Brilliant, that sounds like it's going well! And it's always helpful to have a good place to start the next day.

[badly_knitted]

Good luck with the re-drafting!

May 21st - 950 words. Two double drabbles, a triple drabble, and a double and a half.

[regshoe]

Thank you! And good work on those variously-multiple drabbles :D

[badly_knitted]

Thanks!

[luzula]

500 words of new fic; total wordcount 6,000. Also some beta reading. : )

[regshoe]

:) Good work on both of those!

[black_bentley]

Day 21 - I've (somehow) added over 2k to my exchange assignment, and it might be developing a plot. Really no idea how, as I was at a wedding yesterday and stayed overnight, and only got home at about half 1 this afternoon! /o\

[regshoe]

Wahey, that is excellent stuff, especially in a busy day :D Very well done!

[philomytha]

Checking in for the 21st, and I wrote even more h/c in one fic, and also worked out some of the edits I want to make in another one.

[regshoe]

Good progress on both fics, and yay for even more h/c :D

[zero_pixel_count]

Checking in for the 21st - more editing for me, too, and also starting to try and combine a piece for which I ended up writing two points of view separately.

[regshoe]

That sounds like an interesting bit of work combining the two versions—well done on that and the editing!

[zero_pixel_count]

Interesting and challenging, to be sure! :D

[china_shop]

22nd: 225 words on a fic. I was hoping this one would be a quick ficlet, but it needs a sex scene, doh!

[regshoe]

Ah, these tricky stories turning out to be longer than we expect :D Well done making a start!

[zero_pixel_count]

!! your icon, so appropriate :D

[china_shop]

Ha, right? I've had this icon for years and years, and have to grab opportunities to use it when they arise. :D

[yasaman]

Raced to get my WIP done before I spend the rest of the week with family visiting from abroad!

Day 19: just some editing and a couple alibi sentences
Day 20: 473 words
Day 21: 1,084 words

[regshoe]

Wahey, excellent work on those increasing wordcounts :D And yay for getting the WIP finished, and I hope the family visit goes well!

[shadaras]

Day 21: More brainstorming (which may be coalescing into something!), and a journal post.

[regshoe]

Good work on both of those—yay for ideas coalescing :)

[silveradept]

Just days 20-21 to check in for. I think I've found something interesting in one project, and I've got a whole lot more of them to do, of course, so progress for everyone! Seriously.

[regshoe]

Ooh, that sounds intriguing :D And yay for continued progress, well done!

[chanter1944]

Checking in for days 20 and 21. :)

200-ish words for day 20.

326 words for day 21, as an idea started doing its thing. :D

[regshoe]

Ooh, it is always fun when a new idea starts doing its thing! Good work for both days :D

[phantomtomato]

May 21: a little over 1k words, bringing me up to 20k total for this project. :) I think I need a few slow days ahead of me to let the idea generation catch up again, but that’s fine, I’ll pick up my next book!

[regshoe]

Wahey, congratulations on getting to 20k \o/ A few slow days now sounds like a good plan—enjoy the book!

[sanguinity]

May 21: alibi sentence (technically a little more than, but let's just call it that)

[regshoe]

Well done!

[cornerofmadness]

day 21 spent the day traveling. got 154 words on the unconventional romance when i got here

[regshoe]

Well done getting in those words after a day of travelling!

[cornerofmadness]

thanks

[kate]

paragraph before bed

[regshoe]

Good stuff!

[ysilme]

Day 20: 360 words
Day 21: 404 words, both on a drawer fic or rather WIP: I'm in the process of working several drawer fics into each other for a longer, more complex, work, to get better at plotting and writing multi-story thread works. RL things are piling a bit up currently so I'm working at this instead of the WIP for the moment.

[regshoe]

That sounds like a good and interesting project—I wish you success with it :) And well done for both days' words while RL is busy!

[ysilme]

Thank you! I originally started to use my drawer fics also for writing training as I often had a bad conscience when I was writing drawer fic only over long stretches of time, but soon realised how useful this method really is as a training tool, slow writer as I am otherwise. ;op

[regshoe]

Drawer fics as writing training sounds like a great method—yay that it's proving useful for you :D

[lferion]

21 May -- Three verses of a poem for fan flashworks. I want to come up with a response as well, before I post it.

[regshoe]

Very nice, well done :D
