WIP challenge: April 15 check-in

[insignia]

Hi there! It's me again! :D

On this day in the middle of the month, how are your projects going? Have you been

• writing,
• planning,
• researching,
• or maybe something else?

Discussion: Let's talk about the weather! Do you like to use weather and other natural phenomena in your stories, for symbolism/realism/atmosphere and such? Or do you ignore the weather unless it's important to the plot?

Writing, about 600 words so far today? But not done. And also, I planned out the rest of my current chapter. And did some reading for some folks I've been betaing for. I'm discovering that I really enjoy betaing! If the writer is someone I consider to be better than me, I learn a LOT by seeing what they've changed from draft to draft. If it's someone else, I can often spot some of the same issues I have, and when it's someone else's writing, it's easier to see WHY problems are problems, you know?

Anyway, weather! I sort of tend to ignore it. I might drop a mention, but unless it's figuring in somehow, I just let it go. Probably terribly lazy of me.
