WIP Challenge Check-in, Day 31 -- Friday

[linaewen]

Hello on Friday!  What kind of a writing day has it been today?

• 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

For Discussion:  Today is the last day of the October challenge -- how did you do?  What are you looking forward to continuing/changing about your approach to fic in November?

I did very poorly this month -- I fiddled around with a couple of ideas and re-edited an old chapter for posting and that's about it.  I do hope that Real Life is less controlling in November, otherwise, the only way I'll be able to write is if there are somehow more hours in the day!  What I need to change is to say no to some things that are not as essential as I originally thought so that I have time to rest and relax doing creative things like writing.

I have to find my paperwork. I think that I wrote either today (Friday) or Thursday, but I'm not sure. The weekends are the worst for me. Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays I have places to be in the mornings, so it's difficult to cement a morning writing habit, which is what I'm trying to do.

Right now I'm also trying to organize to network better, and I definitely need to clean out my inbox. I too have several urgent things I'm supposed to be doing, even broken down.

I am trying to be positive, and think of yet other ways to keep myself headed in the right directions. I'm looking forward to writing more often - and I should be getting to it so I can!
