WIP Challenge Check-in, Day 31 -- Friday

[linaewen]

Hello on Friday!  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 - Have you ever participated in a fest or a Big Bang? What did you enjoy about it?

I take part in a fest every March, which I enjoy because it gives me different prompts to write from than I am used to, and is a good challenge to my imagination. I have also participated in the Finshi-a-thon several times, which was a great way to focus on unfinished projects. I also did a Big Bang once, which was difficult, but I enjoyed having an assigned cheerleader who kept me on task and encouraged me as I wrote. I would enjoy doing another one, I think.

No writing today, although I have been perusing a file full of snippets, trying to piece them together, make them make sense.

I did a reverse bang once that left me with a bit of a bad taste in my mouth. Mostly, I don't quite trust my ability to write longform to a deadline.

Finally got my Parallels fic out of my notebook (written longhand at lunch breaks over the last few weeks) and posted.

Should hopefully finish my (well, hit wordcount goal) on my Camp NaNo in the next hour or so.

Writing in progress now, actually, but I thought I'd stop in to answer the question.

I'm hilariously bad at Big Bangs, and the ones I've actually finished ended up having a mod who disappeared, so ... I finished, but the challenge didn't. *grumbles* I still attempt a Big Bang every now and then, but my failure rate is pretty bad.
