Daily check-in post!

[littlebutfierce]

Good evening folks! I'll be taking us through the rest of the March challenge's check-in posts.

How's the fic-brain feeling today? Are you in that giddy honeymoon phase with a fic or at that point where you wish you could somehow chuck it out the window? Or perhaps at a calmer, more productive stage?

Anything we can help with? Gripe or commiserate or request assistance here!

I finished & posted one of the WIPs I chose to work on for this month's challenge, hooray! (I duly added it to our AO3 collection too, of course.)

A lot of this was due to the writing sessions over the past few weeks, which feels great.

... one of my other WIPs, well, I tried to finish it for last month's challenge & failed, & I'm not sure I'll do it this month either. But for now, I'll just bask in my happy finished-fic glow.

Whoo hoo! You have earned some well-deserved basking time, I'd say. ;-)

Hopefully I'll finish a fic sometime or other so I can add it to the collection. ;-) Maybe in future WIP challenge months I should try working on some stand-alones for a change, instead of the epic multi-chapter things I always seem to be doing!

[littlebutfierce]

Yeah, but imagine when you DO finish one of the big epic fics -- it will look ever so impressive in the collection. ;)

Progress at last for me! I've got a good 2,000 words that are decent, and a bunch more that have to be seriously edited to make them actually usable, but I'm finally on the move with my Big Bang fic. It's on my mind, too, in that "composing dialogue in my head which I can hopefully remember well enough to write down when I get a chance" way. ;-) So I think I'll be reaching my word count goal for the month for that fic, at least!

[littlebutfierce]

Wow, go you! 2k of solid, usable words is fantastic! And the story finally taking root in your head is a really good sign as well.

I rewrote and edited the first 5000 words of the fic. It's great I can reuse some of the words.

[littlebutfierce]

Yay for you!! Editing & rewriting can be such a giant pain--I find it difficult to keep myself on target & excited through it sometimes. So good for you!

My health has been uneven again so I haven't been writing much, but I'll try to dive in again this week! I've been recording my daily thoughts and made writing plans for non-fiction and fiction both, and my idea well is filling up nicely so in theory all I need to do is to take the dive. It'd be a fitting way to kick off spring at least!

[littlebutfierce]

I'm sorry you're still struggling w/all the health stuff. :( But yay for daily thoughts & having writing plans & ideas springing up! Good luck!!
