WIP Challenge: Day 20, Tuesday
Another day has come and gone, so now it's time to check in. \o/
How many new words did you write today? Did you reach your goal? Were you editing instead? Researching? Or was today a day of rest?
...and today's discussion topic:
Purple prose: many fandom writers have gone there before, either by rookie mistake or by simply not knowing better. Have you ever written anything purple? Please feel free to share any advice you might have on avoiding this for any newbies out there (and feel free to share your own purple prose too, if you want!).

I finished two stories today and am currently one my third one, but I got distracted and now have seriously lost track of the story. It's gone from an intorspective piece to a story about a man thinking his chair causes him impotence. (my mind is a scary place)

As to purple prose, I really don't do it. My weakness is that I have a tendency to not give enough description. My old beta would mark portions of my story or leave notes to describe stuff (houses, environment, chairs, clothing)
