WIP Challenge Check-in, Day 18 -- Friday

[linaewen]

Hello on Friday!  The weekend is almost here -- I for one am looking forward to it.  But what about today?  What kind of a writing day has it been today for you -- or if you haven't begun yet, what do you hope for today?

• I thought about my fic once or twice
• I wrote
• I did some planning and/or research
• I edited
• I've sent my fic off to my beta
• I posted today!
• I'm taking a break
• I did something else that I'll talk about in a comment

For Discussion: Research -- what does it involve for you?  Watching a show/episode or rereading a book?  Fandom specific websites?  Requesting info from other fans?  Googling and following all the rabbit trails that result?  Do you do your research before you begin writing, or during, as the need arises?
