WIP Challenge Check-in, Day 9 -- Sunday

[linaewen]

Greetings, linaewen at your service for this new week of checking in!  I don't usually post this early when it's my turn for it, but I'm having a bit of insomnia, so I thought I'd go ahead start things off for this week.  ;-)

Has today been a fresh start for you, the first day of a new week of writing possibilities?  Tell us how you spent your day, writing or otherwise.


For discussion:

J.R.R. Tolkien once said in a letter,  "I wrote the Trilogy as a personal satisfaction, driven to it by the scarcity of literature of the sort that I wanted to read."  Is this a good description of why you write?  Why or why not?

Well, I suppose for full disclosure I should add that there's one thing I've written that did not have that premise as its basic. That one was a kinkmeme fill for an odd pairing, one I'd never even considered before and didn't even like one member of, and I still can't adequately explain why I read that prompt, thought, Huh,... and then churned out 2k words on the subject without stopping. All the while not knowing where it was going till my fingers hit the keys.

The rest, though? Very much What I Want To Read.
