writethisfanficAnother 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!).

Date: Tuesday, March 20th, 2012 15:23 (UTC)Yuujinchou Exchange Bonus Treat #3 (due Mar 24): No new words. Re-watched some scenes to try and find the right tone for this piece. Current word count: 654
Yuujinchou Exchange Bonus Treat #5 (due Mar 24): No new words. I have an idea for a little drabble that may or may not happen depending on available writing time this week. 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
I was afraid this might happen this week. T_T No writing last night again. I'd love to wrap up the piece I'd started for the Yuujinchou exchange (650+ words drafted last week), so *shame* for 3 days of nothing and fingers crossed I can get this finished soon.
