WIP Challenge Check-in, Day 17 -- Sunday

[linaewen]

Hello on Sunday!  What kind of a writing day has it been today -- or yesterday, if today hasn't gotten going yet?

       - 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

Sunday Discussion: Today is my birthday, so with that in mind, I'm wondering if you have ever participated in a birthday story challenge or written a story for someone for their birthday?
