WIP Challenge Check-in, Day 5 -- Wednesday

[linaewen]

Here's a wee quote to start things off on a fine Wednesday in December:

Detail makes the difference between boring and terrific writing.
It’s the difference between a pencil sketch and a lush oil painting.
As a writer, words are your paint.
Use all the colors.
-- Rhys Alexander

1. How did you spend your writing time today?

• I'm writing!
• I'm researching!
• I'm editing!
• I'm taking a break!
• I'm wishing I had time to write, but I'm just too busy with other things...

2. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the most positive, how are you feeling about your writing efforts today -- and why did you choose that number?

3. The "answer if you feel like it" question: If you are a writer who likes to include a lot of details, what kind of details do you favor? Scenery? Physical descriptions of your characters? Sounds, colors or expressions?  Do you feel that details are as important as this quote suggests they should be?
