Day 18 Check In!

[insertcode11]

Day 18 is here. Tell us how you're doing!

Little busy so I didn't have time to change up the questions--but "Creative Corner" is a bit different.

1.) How are you doing today?

-Are you having a good day or a bad day (and a good day doesn't necessarily mean a good writing day, we all know, so tell us how BOTH are going)?

-What’s your progress on your writing goal today? This can be:
-Word Count
-Planning
-Research
-Editing
-Something else specified in comments

-And how do you feel about your progress?

2.) What are the really, really great things that happened in your writing today?

(for example: “I totally nailed characterization today” or “This plot rocks so hard I’m going to burst my own ear drums”)

3.) What are the not so great things that you’re struggling with? How can your fellow writers try to help you today?

-What don’t you feel so successful about today (if anything)?

-Need someone to hold your hand? Cheerlead for you? Kick your @$$ to get motivated? Something along those lines. I’m sure I or any of your fellow writers will help where they can because we know the feeling. ;)

4.) Creative Corner

Feeling tired and frustrated and stumped on the next scene? Feeling excited and really proud and want to show off the good things you’re creating? Get your creative juices flowing or just brag on yourself!

-Today take the FIRST LINE from your favorite book, song, poem, movie, or pilot/first episode to your favorite show and use that as a prompt for a drabble (150 words or less). The drabble can have something to do with your fic--maybe an introspective piece on the character, or the beginning of a scene. Or the drabble can be unrelated to your fic.

For example, I don't have time to do it this minute (stupid work!) but my favorite book is Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Johnathan Safran Foer and the first line is, "What about a teakettle?" I'll be using that. :)

Also a few examples:

Song: "I took a walk around the world" (3 Doors Down, "Kryptonite")
Poem: "We are the hollow men" (T.S. Eliot, "The Hollow Men")
Movie: "You're always sick" (X-Men Origins: Wolverine)
Show: "Come on, let's say goodnight to your brother" (Supernatural)

Congrats on the draft! And turning a strange idea into something that works. I always feel particularly victorious and original when something like that happens! :D

3.) Sorry. *understanding backpat* I hope everything gets better soon.

4.) Yes! Please do entertain us make use of the Creative Corner! /o/
