April 23, Monday Check In

[enemytosleep]

Another day has come and gone, so now it's time to check in.

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?

One Two Fiver is a series of stretches for warming up your writing muscles when you're really blocked.

Start with a single word - type it like you mean it.
Now write two words.
Move on to five...
Repeat and repeat until you are writing. \o/

Feel free to post your results here if you wish (or link us to them).

I got a lot of research done yesterday, including deciding on a name for a character and writing up some notes and an outline. Now I just need to write! Not sure if I'll get to that until later this evening, as the day is pretty full at the moment.

One, Two, Fiver sounds pretty useful! I'll probably need it tonight to get me going....

I managed about 500-600 words today, not bad for a profoundly crappy day over all. :P

I actually managed a little less than a page's worth of writing after work today, which isn't all that bad all things considered.

But, ugh. I am at that stage where I have just worked on this particular part of my story for so long that it's like... why are these characters even here any more? Why are they doing this? Clearly this situation is important to them, but at this point everything just seems so silly and ridiculous and nothing seems to make sense. Maybe that's a sign that I need to work on something else for awhile or find some way to switch things up. I don't know. In the meantime, I'll just be telling myself that every word I type up means I'm one word closer to finishing, which seems to be enough to keep me going for the time being.

No new words today -- too busy wrapping up the latest paying Project -- but the same fan artist who produced a Megabyte piece for the Lethe!verse has now created a Megabyte/Bob piece that I simply have to write a short story for, so that's next up to the plate.

Damned paying work, getting in the way of fannish pursuits! :D

Late, but had managed to get around 300 words new words of my help_japan. I think that scene I'm already close to wrapping it up, so that I should be able to do that (and perhaps start a new scene also) later today.
