writethisfanfic | WIP Challenge Check-in, Day 12

Here we are at the midpoint of the week. Writing is happening for me (I'm more likely to write during the week while my daughter's in school and I'm home alone than I am during the evenings and weekends). I hope writing's happening for all of you, too.

What did you do today?
Write?
Edit?
Send to beta?
Research?
Post?
Take a break?
Something else?

How do you feel about your writing today? Is it going great? Would you rather not talk about it?

For today's discussion-- Do you like to discuss your story ideas with other people? Does talking about your ideas or your WIP help you or does it kill the story dead?

I like to talk stories through, kind of brainstorming and seeing what sparks. It can help me clarify what I'm doing and lets me see which of my ideas make sense. I don't need the other person to actively engage in the discussion (though it's great when they do), nodding and occasional leading questions more than suffice. I'm afraid I get kind of boring when I do this, however, so I try not to do it at a given person too often.
