Check-in June 7 (Thursday)

How have you progressed today? Writing? Plotting? Researching? Or...? :D

Discussion: Are there topics or genres you turn to when you're in a bad mood? For example, do you write dark fics to vent, or fluffy comedy scenes to cheer yourself up?

I wrote about three hundred words. I need to keep moving fast as the story's due on the 17th.

I haven't really been reading much fic recently. I haven't been reading many books either. Nothing appeals to me, and I can't seem to focus. When I'm in a bad mood, I'm likely to long for long, plotty gen fics. They're very hard to find, though.

2,234 words today! I still have one day left to write another chapter before the current deadline strikes, and it looks like it will be a nice quiet writing kind of day, too. Yay! I just might make it!

When I'm in a bad mood, I'm not good at writing, so I turn to other things to get over it -- reading what other people have written, watching humorous anime, rereading my own stories in an attempt to remind myself that I'm not such a bad writer after all. ;-)

I've lost track of how many words I've written today, since I had to go back and pad the previous chapter to get my word count up so as to complete the challenge. But I managed it. Between today and yesterday I have written 4,714 words! My quota is met.

And now, I think I need a nap....
