WIP Challenge - Check In, Day 11 - Tuesday

[lea_hazel]

A slightly later than usual post tonight. I'll try to post earlier tomorrow.

How did your writing go 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: Brainstorming. Do you find yourself spending a lot of your writing time mulling over future scenes, the long-term plot, little details in characterization or setting? In short, how much of your writing time is spent putting words on paper, versus the harder to quantify mind work?

Announcement: I'm planning a writing session for tomorrow, starting from 12PM GMT (2PM my local time. Check out this time zone converter to figure out when that is for you. I'll be in the #writethisfanfic IRC channel for a good two hours, so drop in even if you can't make the whole session.

Brainstorming, pretty much, with some reserach

And I spend some time brainstorming, but not a lot.

Today is Tuesday, which means it's harder to get writing done. I am, however, home early today, so maybe I'll get something accomplished after I unwind from the day!

I do a lot of brainstorming and thinking and researching and mulling over things, as a opposed to putting words on paper. I think it's my way of working out the story prior to actually starting it. I do seem to be able to sit down and write pretty much straight through (except for checking my thesaurus now and then) once I do get started.

I work like that sometimes. During my idle time, like on the bus, I gather ideas in my mind and try to structure them. That way, when I sit down to write, there's less of a chance that I'll blank out and not be able to come up with something to write. I don't usually count the thinking time towards my daily writing goal, though.
