I got some free time at work and had the chapter with me (reading on the train...), so I started editing.

I'm a bit bemused by this chapter. There's something not right about it; I have a couple of theories, but I'm not 100% sure I've diagnosed it correctly. I probably won't know until I finish editing.

And I fixed a leftover problem from Chapter 3! The ending of that chapter used to suck. Now it's going to be awesome.

[lacygrey]

Thats great you solved the ending problem.
Are you writing ALL the chapters of your fic before posting anything?

[lacygrey]

I wrote out a plot for one of my help_japan 'sponsees'. A story I couldn't write myself but I hope will inspire her - at least that way, with a bit of luck, the idea will get used.

[charamei]

Yep. I'm a pantser: I always end up needing to change things in previous chapters to make the plot work properly. In any case, it's only four chapters.

[charamei]

That's a nice idea. I hope she does get something out of it.

I generally don't write anything on Thursdays as I get home late (I'm taking a class--although today was the last day, which is sad but maybe I'll write more on Thursdays now!). But I did manage a bit of editing & a tiny bit of writing. I continue to get somewhere w/this fic! No big ah-ha! moment (yet?), but... maybe that's okay. It feels best & most obviously the right thing to do when I get that feeling, but... maybe if I don't get it, it doesn't necessarily mean the fic has to be bagged.

I did a fair amount of research today. I am trying to come up with a plot next. Hopefully I'll have something soon and be able to really start into writing this weekend.

*facepalm* Keep on forgetting to check in. D:

Anyway. Wrote about 3K yesterday on day 7. Hope to get this chapter finished today on day 8! /o/ We'll see when I check in tonight! :)

[raletha]

Took the day off from writing due to interventions by reality, but I did some quality daydreaming!

[curuchamion]

I posted a thing! Two things, actually, counting the one I'm just about to post. Both in a tiny fandom called Legend (aka The One Where Q and MacGyver Fight Crime In The Old West). I wrote them ages ago, but just now re-edited one and decided the other was as re-edited as it was going to get.
