WIP Challenge Check-in, Day 9 -- Sunday

[linaewen]

 Hello on Sunday! What kind of a writing day has it been so far today -- or if today hasn't gotten going yet, how did you fare yesterday?

 

       - I thought about my fic once or twice

       - I wrote

       - I did some planning and/or outlining

       - I did research and/or canon review

       - I edited

       - I've sent my fic off to my beta

       - I posted today!

       - I'm taking a break

       - I did something else that I'll talk about in a comment

 

Sunday Discussion: It's a new writing week, and that means a fresh start. Maybe you had a great writing week last week, or maybe last week wasn't the greatest for getting writing things done -- what kind of goals do you have for keeping up your momentum or starting off fresh this week?

I am just starting my day, but I am hopeful for getting a fresh start today after a week of not being able to focus on writing. Today is pretty busy but I should have some blocks of time I can devote to working on a blog article that is due in a week -- starting now while it is quiet and everyone else in the house is still asleep!

Wow it sounds like you're getting a super early start! I hope the writing goes well for you today, and for the upcoming week too!

After a few minutes of waffling, I semi randomly pulled out a Xena WIP I haven't touched in a few years. Now it's looking a lot more interesting.

[goldentunes]

Xena as in: Warrior Princes?? *starry eyes*

Indeed - first fandom I wrote fic in, bloated to novel length and overindulgent to the max, but it was great training wheels. Kept thinking about a short sequel to it, but it's spent years in mothballs until now - Ephiny POV, picking up an unexpected partner for the evening.

Fic is aaaaaaaall about overindulging!!!!!! I feel like watching Xena clips now haha maybe I will (bye bye writing time).

Good luck with the sequel, I hope you do get it out! (It sounds sexy.)

That is so fun! I absolutely love pulling out old WIPs. Feels like rummaging around in an attic and finding some cool stuff you forgot you had.

I was busy doing weekend stuff and forgot to do my own check-in yesterady.

So. I have since finished another fic and therefore MET ALL MY FIRST WAVE DEADLINES. I'm actually kind of amazed because I was sure I would need to ask for an extension for a few, and thought I would even have to default on one. So I am super happy this has worked out.

My goal for this week is to polish up the fics that still need to be waxed and shined, to finish the fic I still haven't finished and just write the darn sexy scenes, and to not then procrastinate and take too long a break thereafter because I still have a whole bunch of deadlines upcoming.

First wave deadlines met, woooo \o/ \o/ Congrats and good luck with what follows :D

I wrote today! With a friend again, who kindly showed excitement when I showed them 2 lines of my WIP haha. I hope I continue to get a few story words in over the week :)

A little outlining for my unconventionalcourtship fic but mostly taking a break today, wiped out after nightshift last night and still haven't managed to sleep *grr* maybe I'll sleep tonight

Writing starting off well today with sprints this morning, and probably not done. I hope to finish this section today.

My goal is still to write most days!

I wrote and did some editing, all on my current WIP. Mostly worldbuilding and characterization details that I think add some nice depth.

I keep getting these little bursts of “wow, I could actually finish this today if I really buckled down” feelings. Which is a true statement and very achievable. So my goal for the week is to linger in that feeling a bit longer and then follow through lol
