WIP Challenge Check-in, Day 3 -- Tuesday

[linaewen]

Hello on Tuesday!  How are things going in the world of fic?

Did you write?

   - Yes!
   - No!
   - Not yet!

If yes, what kind of writerly activity did you engage in?  How do you feel about it?
If no, what were the obstacles/situations that affected your writerly pursuits?  What will you do differently tomorrow to get more writing done?
If not yet, because the day hasn't gotten going yet, what kind of writing activity are you planning (or hoping) to accomplish?

I did a bit of writing work yesterday, so that is good. Today my writing is still pending but I have a plan! I will be overhauling my already written paragraphs and adding to them. We'll see how many new words result!

Have not written today, but have updated all of my one-shots to be (theoretically) AI-poisoned to help against scraping on Ao3. Also hoping it might fend off some spambot comments, because I've been overrun with those lately and I Am Tired.

Apparently I'm translating another song :-D
(And as I didn't intend to translate it, I'm going to have to copy it out again with space left to insert possible bits of English, because I didn't leave any room at all in my original transcription and am writing round corners...)

Fortunately the original rhymes are pretty approximate and the lines are pretty multisyllabic, which gives me more wriggle room and is a pleasant change from my last attempt!

How we long to love and to be loved in turn,
For miracles to hope and hope again,
And know that all our troubles cannot last for long
While love holds out for ever and a day...

CHORUS:
Linger on, linger on ever more
As you fall even now, shooting star --
Linger on ever more, linger on,
Life of ours, without equal alone.

Literal translation:
How much we want to love and be beloved
To hope for miracles anew and anew
And to know that all bad things cannot linger
But love holds out for ever

Linger, linger for ever
Star that is already falling
Linger, for ever linger
Our unique life

Did not write again today because work ended up being absurdly busy. Again. And I got engrossed in a book that I don't even think was particularly good, but I devoured it in one day.
