[littlebutfierce]

How's it going today? Tell us how the first week of this month's challenge is ending for you. Have you written lots of words, edited lots, none at all? What are you hoping to get done in the following week?

Also, it's time for the general chat/snippet-posting/beta-seeking/etc. etc. etc. post. Please feel free to do any of those things in the comments to this post!

(& don't forget the writing session tomorrow!)

As per usual on Friday nights, I'm so exhausted I can hardly think. So no fic today, either writing or editing. This weekend I badly need to keep going w/some canon refresh & also get some editing done.

I can't post snippets for my main WIPs right now as they're for the Kaleidoscope exchange & secret. :D

At my writers retreat!! YAY!! Hanging out with my critique partners right now.

I've critiqued a lot of words this week that don't belong me, and edited a few of my own. No writing at all though.

Sounds like the retreat's been a lot of fun. :) & editing & critiquing, I think, is generally good for one's writing anyway, so hopefully it will be beneficial!

Did write. The characters' conversation goes somewhere... but maybe is being too dull and senseless. I don't know. I alternate between "okay" and "hate everything".

Tiny snippet, with names of characters being edited out, and looking really weird. And maybe I forgot how to write in English, I dunno.


"Broke up," she repeats. "Why? How?"
"I... don't know. We just did."
"And you haven't argued before. Right."
M. shrugs again.
"M.," K. says tiredly, "I will drag it out of you if I have to. You know I will. So just tell me what happened."
"I don't know!" M. exclaims - cries out - and for a couple of seconds her face crumples into a weird little grimace.
"Oh M.," K. sighs and tugs her into a hug.

... why did I post this again?

I alternate between those two states for my fic sometimes. ^^;;; It's no fun at all. I'm sorry you're feeling not so great about your fic right now.

Sounds like your characters have something deliciously complicated (for the reader: not so delicious for them) going on in their lives!

[taelle]

Yeah... now to get them through it!

I did some editing today and a bit of brainstorming. I'm going to attempt to get a little bit of writing in before I pass out go to bed. I'd like to get this fic done by next week, if I can. Little snippet:

"Goddess, I can't believe they didn't teach you any life skills. Hey, don't run off. What are you going to do? Sit on the floor and imagine eating? You probably don't even know how to shop at a grocery store, do you? Get your pet; I'll throw on some more pasta and get you sorted out for the night."

"My... pet?"

Genesis sighed again. "Go get Cloud. You've got him waiting in there with his paranoia ramped up to full, right? I'm offering you dinner, if you want to eat. I'm not going to hurt him."

[littlebutfierce]

Hahahaha, poor useless character! So naive in the ways of daily life!

Yay for the editing & brainstorming! Hope the fic continues to go well.

Yay, able to get the seventh chapter of my Big Bang done! Usually I take a short break after finishing a chapter but since this is NaNo I'll go ahead with the eight chapter tomorrow.

[littlebutfierce]

Go go go! You're continuing to do great this month.
