WIP Challenge - Check In, Day 9 - Sunday

[lea_hazel]

Hi! I'll be posting check-ins all week. Due to time zones, my posts might come up at unexpected times. I will however try to post early enough that most people have a chance to check in on the same calendar day.

How did your writing fare today? Did you...

• ...write?


• ...edit/proofread?


• ...send to beta?


• ...post/cross-post?


• ...research/refresh canon?


• ...plan/outline?


• ...take a well-deserved rest?


• ...do life things?

Daily discussion question: Speaking of refreshing canon, how often do you find yourself needing a refresher? Do you opt to reread/rewatch/replay the complete work, or do you look for specific bits of canon from external sources, like YouTube videos or fandom wikis?

I find fandom wikis invaluable, both as a reader and as a contributor. While I enjoy rereading favorite books, or marathoning TV shows on lazy Saturday afternoons, when I'm on the spot and I need that one detail for the devil to go into I will rely on the collective wisdom of the fan community. Since I got into a video game fandom, videos have occupied a similar place of honor. I use them less often, but when I need them nothing else will do.
