WIP Challenge Check-in, Day 26 -- Tuesday

[linaewen]

Hello on Tuesday! What kind of a writing day has it been today -- or yesterday, if today hasn't gotten going yet?

•     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

Discussion: What reference tools do you use when doing research? Thesaurus? Google? Fandom-specific wikis? Book resources?

Wrote a little today, and I think I may be finished with this fic by Thursday. Then all that will be left is editing and not chickening out before posting it.

For brushing up on canon I tend to use youtube and/or transcripts to focus on specific scenes. For more general research I tend to start with Wikipedia for links to more in-depth work, though if I have the time and energy I do like to visit the local library, especially if the subject is history or science. For spelling and grammar, I have a few reference books from high school and college that I still find useful. :)
