And five words or less about your current WIP?



For discussion: It seems like a fair number of people are starting off the month with a pretty good spring in their step. How do you keep the momentum going? Is it a daily writing practice? A weekly wordcount goal? A reward system? Or is there some other way you just keep going once you've started?

Yuujinchou Exchange (due Mar 17): First draft complete. I got the first batch of notes back, the other will hopefully come soon. For the moment I'm letting it sit as I'd like to edit it only once with both sets of notes side-by-side. Current word count: 9,306

Yuujinchou Exchange Bonus Treat #2 (due Mar 24): No new words. I think i have finally found the plot that will both fit the prompter's likes and won't be crazy long and complicated. Did some research and am working on a new outline. Current word count: 0

Help_Japan (due 18 years ago - 750 word min): No new words. I promise to give this love after the Yuujinchou exchange stops eating my brain. O.o Current word count: 3,666

This won't seem genuine given how much I've been writing recently, but I usually don't write very much at all, so I don't have a system in place. This is my first honest attempt to get words written on a regular basis like this. T_T I joined the group to polish off my Help_Japan fic, and it's helped me make some headway on that and also to complete some other projects I've picked up. So I guess my plan is to keep checking in here until I manage to get these fics complete. ^_^
