WIP Challenge Check-in, Day 8 -- Sunday

[linaewen]

Greetings on this excellent Sunday -- I'm linaewen and I'm your guide this week into all things related to Checking In.  What kind of writing day is it for you?  What kind of writerly pursuits have you taken part in so far today?

• writing (want to share a word count?)
• planning (brainstorming, researching, outlining)
• editing
• posting
• taking a break
• reading someone else's writing
• dealing with non-writing things on your To Do List

If you could describe your day in 4 words or less (fic-wise or in general), what would you say?

For discussion, we go to the Panda:

 

Does knowing exactly what happens next help you actually write it, or does the writing still have to be dragged out of you kicking and screaming?  Are outlines and plans generally helpful or do you work better just letting the writing take you whither it will?
