Date: Sunday, April 7th, 2024 18:14 (UTC)One, I’m revisiting an old chapter from a longfic that I put aside for a while because it wasn’t working the way I wanted it to. I’m going to try writing a scene from that chapter again to get it going again, but I’m going to try it from a different character’s POV this time.
Two, I’ve got a newer fic rattling around in my brain that I think I can keep to a one shot if I’m smart about it. I let myself write just dialogue and a few notes over my lunch break. Sometimes I let myself be a playwright for the rough draft and fill in the prose during revisions.

Same hat on the dialogue process. I'll often be doing life stuff and working through scenes in my brain, and some dialogue will just click and I'll grab my notes app to just get that conversation down. I think it really helps the dialogue feel more authentic, because it's easier to focus on the character voices.

Date: Sunday, April 7th, 2024 19:22 (UTC)Working on some book reviews, a weekly challenge ficlet, and... whatever fanfic I feel like working on I guess. I want to try and write 35k this week (I probably won't but goals are goals)

Date: Sunday, April 7th, 2024 21:44 (UTC)I'm also needing to polish up and finish the last chapter of my current WIP. I'm going to have a busy couple of weeks, starting next Sunday, so I want to have it all ready to go. A couple thousand more words or so. I hope I can manage that.
...and I just got brave and reached out to someone with a small proposal for a (fanfic-esque) collaboration project between the two of us, and that person accepted! So I'm going to be prepping for that a little. I'm so excited.

Date: Monday, April 8th, 2024 04:04 (UTC)Yesterday, I did some summary/prompt-gathering for Unconventional Courtship and put that in a doc. Mostly, though, I'm going to be resting and recovering. I'm hoping I'll be able to write more than I have lately, but I'm not going to push myself right now.
