WIP challenge - week 2 check-in!

[littlebutfierce]

For those of you doing the challenge, how's it going? Like I said last time, for many people this time of year comes with a lot of family, school, or work obligations -- are you managing to fit fic writing time in? Are you hearing from your buddies?

I have absolutely fallen down on both working on fic & keeping up with my buddies this week. ;_; Apologies, buddy group!!

On the one hand, my YT fic is already done & posted, which is a relief. On the other, I need to get moving on my other challenge fic for this month again! I feel like all my momentum is slipping away!

What about you?

Er. I haven't been quite sure what I'm supposed to do as far as keeping in touch with people; as to writing, I still have two papers to finish and turn in, but after that I suspect things may get a lot more interesting. My four guys on the run are still developing new backstory and discovering my worldbuilding almost as fast as I can create it...

Hm, well, I know we talked about some of this stuff in PMs back at the beginning of the month -- I mentioned a couple of times whether using e-mail instead of PMs would work for you. Is that a possibility? As I said, it's much easier for me to do e-mail rather than PMs (b/c I can do e-mail from work) -- although I've fallen down even on e-mail this week, waaaah. ;_; As hl suggests below, it might be easier if we all have an e-mail thread for us. Or more posting on our check-in post maybe?

Good luck w/those final two papers! Hopefully your creative brain will be absolutely raring to go once they're done. New backstory & worldbuilding sounds v. promising!!

I'm pretty much a disaster, though I posted the yule fic. I want to write, but family stuff and OTW stuff that I've to take care of keeps coming up. :/

I suspect I may have a little more time next week. I hope.

It's kinda hard to keep up with the group! We could start a e-mail with all of us in it?

[littlebutfierce]

Awwww, at least you've finished YT!! But I'm sorry everything else is so frantic. Also sorry I haven't been e-mailing. ;_;

I only have your e-mail address, but if the other two folks get in touch w/e-mail addresses, I agree, I think e-mail would be much easier...

I've fallen behind with keeping up with my buddy group too, but I'll try to change that once my Yuletide-fic is finished. The Yuletide-writing is going slowly, but it's going and hopefully it will flow smoother soon now that antibiotics aren't messing with my head anymore.

[littlebutfierce]

I hope the lack of antibiotics does indeed help as you hope! Good luck rolling on to the YT deadline!!

I have just finished a draft of a new story that is not my WIP. Writing on my WIP is still agonizingly slow.

On the other hand, it does seem good for inspiring me to work on other fics . . .

Hee! Yeah, I can see it would be frustrating to not be moving forward on your stated goal, but more writing in general seems awesome.

Just finished line-editing Chapter Two! There's still one scene in it that needs rewriting, but I now basically have the rest of the month to rewrite Chapter Three and neaten up Chapter Four.

Better still, when I reread Ch3 earlier this week it turned out that it's not quite as blindingly awful as I remember. Parts of it even made me laugh (and yes, they were supposed to). It's got so little structural integrity that a light breeze could whistle the national anthem through its plotholes, but I should be able to salvage the prose.
