WIP Challenge Check-in, Day 13 -- Sunday

[linaewen]

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 thought about my fic many times, but my health was not great all week and then I traveled at the end of it, so nothing got done about my fic.

I am going to start fresh this week by reviewing my outline, maybe rereading some older chapters, and then jumping in to writing. I want to get a new chapter written this week – I have the time for it and my health is better, so this is my chance!

As someone who has also been dealing with not great health, I feel you there. Hooray for better health! You can do the writing thing!

Thought about my fic so, so , so much and then wrote like two paragraphs that promptly got thrown into the deleted scenes document so....I am sure inevitably my writing muse will come back when I'm supposed to be focusing at work tomorrow!

Supposedly the reason we get our strongest writing ideas when we're doing things where we can't write (like work) is because our subconscious brains work in the background.

Of course, as writers we know the real reason is because muses find this scenario Fun and muses are tricksters at heart. 😔

That said, I hope you get some writing time while the muse is still hanging around!

I love that there's a nice rational explanation that we all looked at and went "nah" haha but I am fortunately kind of lucky enough to have a job where I can get away with writing on the clock as long as I get my actual work done and don't draw attention to myself - so tomorrow will hopefully go better for me writing wise!

I felt like I didn't write much at all this week, but I apparently wrote more days than I didn't, so yay! Today alone, I actually wrote 254 words of a brand new original story (Original! 250+ words! In one sitting, even!).

My goal last week was to write 5 words every day. I didn't do that, but since today's writing time was so fun and enjoyable, that's my goal for this week. I want to have fun and enjoy writing. Bonus goal: get closer to my GYWO monthly par.
