WIP Challenge Day 12, Monday

[jagnikjen]

Howdy, Y'all! Happy Monday!

How is the writing going today?

~ Fantastic!
~ Pretty dog-gone good.
~ Not too bad.
~ Pretty slow.
~ It's like pulling teeth...grrr...
~ The muse has absconded with my words!

Discussion topic...do you print off or copy/paste/save to your PC your favorite pieces of fan fiction so as to have them forever?

No writing for me so far, and alas, I'm doubtful as to the liklihood of it happening at all. Got some real life events I gotta plan for or participate in or both.

As for the discussion topic...yes, yes, and yes. You just never know when someone is likely to yank their work of the Internet.

Its going great. I did a lot of writing during breaks and re-read some stuff from last week that I'm quite pleased with - 750w crammed it all into a single run on paragragh, which accidently made a 'stream of conciousness effect'. I don't know if I'll fix it or leave it like that.

I haven't saved any fic by others for ages. But there was once when I'd done it I was very glad because a week later the site went offline and everything there was lost.

When I really like them though, I don't just download them, I dissect them to see how they work!

I have that idea quite often and then never follow through. :)

Wrote more stuff for my eastasianfandomgiftbag hopefully-present. I think I may be getting somewhere! \o/

I do save fics I like, but I need to be better about doing that just in case... ^^;;;;

I think I may be getting somewhere!

YAY!

Getting any writing done on a work day is nearly impossible for me, but I'll try to squeeze in fifteen minutes worth.

I don't read much anymore, but when I find something I like, yes, I'll save it.

I hope you were able to do this. Staying in the writing everyday, even for a short amount of time is a good thing.

[haruka]

I did better than that, actually, I wrote for half an hour and finished a ficlet, although my wrist was pretty sore afterwards (stupid arthritis.) It felt good to actually finish two fics on consecutive days, though.

[linaewen]

Writing? What's that? I have no memory of such a thing....

Maybe if could just get a few more RL things finished and out of my hair, I might be able to get somewhere with writing. For now, though, it's just me trying to keep up with life and there's no time for anything else, alas!

I do indeed save my favorite fanfic pieces to my PC, and I actually reread them, too. I love AO3 because it allows for downloading in various formats. Other archives I frequent allow for the same thing. If not, there's always copy and paste!

I think I've reached that phase what with all the things I suddenly have to juggle. :/

Not too bad. I wrote about 280 words today, including a slight revision of a previous scene. Not only that, I read over all of the re-writes I did yesterday, and one of them seems slightly less hopeless than the others, so I think I may be able to salvage some of it.

And yes, I do save my favorite fics. Come to think of it, I haven't been as diligent about it recently. I should probably work on that.

[jagnikjen]

Keep it up. Every single word helps. :)

[bay_alexison]

Got around a little over 400 words of my help_japan fic and finished writing off the action scene I had put off for a while. Not too happy with it yet, but I can always look over it later.

There are a few fics I had saved in a doc so that I could keep reading them again and again without trying to find it. There are also lots of times I would save fic that I would read later, some of which I need to get doing that. D:

[jagnikjen]

Keep up the good work! :)

[lullabymoon]

Urgh, no writing at all for the last couple of days. It just keeps getting pushed to the end of my list and by the time I have time to get to it, I'm just knackered. So today I'm making a concerted effort to get some in first.

[jagnikjen]

and by the time I have time to get to it, I'm just knackered

I know exactly how you feel. :/

[lacerta]

Got around 500 words done after I set myself a deadline to send them to a friend before they go to sleep. It worked \o/

[jagnikjen]

Great job. :)
