My check-in for day 26: About 400 words, finishing the new bit, and then back into redrafting old words.

Comments

[badly_knitted]

You're doing great!

May 26th - a 1000 word challenge fic. I wasn't happy with it, I struggled with the prompt, but someone's already read it and really liked it, so what do I know?

[regshoe]

Thank you :D

I know I've had some really nice feedback on things I struggled with—I think it's easy to focus more on that struggle as a creator, whereas someone who just reads the finished story can see how good it is simply? Well done with it, anyway!

[badly_knitted]

Thank you! Good to know other writers experience the same issues at times. =)

[luzula]

May 26: 300 words of new fic, total wordcount 8,000.

[regshoe]

Well done!

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Day 26: 300 words!

[regshoe]

Yay, well done!

[philomytha]

26th - about 1300 words on this exchange fic, and I finally feel like it's getting somewhere.

[regshoe]

Hooray for getting somewhere—that does sound like good progress :D

[trobadora]

Checking in for the 26th.

[regshoe]

Well done!

[black_bentley]

Day 26 - no actual writing, but think I might have worked out a plot problem...

[regshoe]

Yay for solving a plot problem, that is good progress :D

[sylvanwitch]

Yay for new bits!

Today (Day 26) turned out to be stressful and frustrating, and I left the boys in a delicate position. Tonight’s brain was not interested in adding to that scene, so I managed only 20 words. It will have to do. Here’s hoping tomorrow is less grrrr-inducing!

[regshoe]

Aww, well done for managing any words in such a difficult day! And I hope tomorrow is better :)

[shadaras]

Day 26: 600 words

[regshoe]

Well done!

[sanguinity]

May 26: frustrated by that long string of alibi sentences, I switched stories today. 1100 words. (When in doubt, switch stories!)

[regshoe]

Well, that's certainly a successful strategy :D Excellent stuff!

[phantomtomato]

May 26, checking in!

[regshoe]

Hooray!

[chanter1944]

Checking in for days 25 and 26.

178 words for day 25.

A couple sentences for day 26 is all I've got. Not zero, whew!

[regshoe]

Yay, well done for both days—not zero is good progress :D

[cornerofmadness]

Day 26 2,181 words and the story is posted

[regshoe]

Wahey, excellent stuff and yay for a posted story \o/

[cornerofmadness]

thanks

[amedia]

Day 26: One AO3 comment. Otherwise, nose to the grindstone with paperwork, bleah.

[regshoe]

Oh dear—best of luck with the paperwork! And well done getting in that comment in the midst of it :)

[zero_pixel_count]

Sounds like you're making good progress!

Day 26 I was mostly timeline-wrangling.

[regshoe]

I think so :) Ooh, sorting out timelines can be both fun and interestingly tricky—well done!

[garonne]

I wrote every day from Day 19 to Day 26, mostly on that fannish statistics meta thing.

I'm a little behind my word count goal for the month. I need to write 1350 words today to catch up. Doable but not easy!

[regshoe]

Yay for meta writing—good work for all those days, and good luck with the wordcount goal!

[lferion]

May 26 -- More on the 'archive note' for the doubt piece, and a couple of line of a new poem.

And in case the comment from the 25 did not get to you (I wrote it in reasonable time and forgot to actually post it...): 25 May -- Posted the doubt poem to fan flashworks and got a word or two on the archive note.

[regshoe]

I did get the comment for the 25th—but didn't see it before you posted this, as I was out walking this morning! All sorted now :)

Anyway, that sounds like another good day of poetry—well done :D

[carenejeans]

Good work on new bits and redrafting!

Day 26: Yet more organizing, and also about 500 words, then reduced to about 400. 8-/

[regshoe]

Thank you! And sometimes you do have to cut words to make progress—well done on those and the organising :D

[china_shop]

27th: a little bit of editing, as part of dusting off an old wip to start working on.

[regshoe]

That sounds exciting—well done :D

[ysilme]

I'm back at working on the drawer WIP as before, plus sorting through old fic files to discard or keep as plotbunnies. (But good grief, my style was really bad back then. /o\ XD )
Day 25: 414 words on the drawer WIP
Day 26: 159 words on the drawer WIP

[regshoe]

That just goes to show how much you've improved since then—and how exciting to do more with those old fics now :D And good work on the drawer WIP for both days!
