Checking in on Day 26 and 27

[linaewen]

My apologies again for not being on top of the check-in posts this week.!  Real Life is taking the ball and running with it at the moment, and I'm not able to keep up at the moment.  ;-)  Hopefully after today I'll do better at posting and commenting on what you've already shared.

In the meantime, we're checking in for yesterday and today!  So report any writing progress you've had in the last couple of days -- or otherwise, if like me you have been otherwise engaged.

Today's possibly somewhat helpful quote:

See things as they are and write about them. Don’t waste your creative energy trying to make things up.
Even if you are writing fiction, write the things you see and know. 

1.  How as it been going for you lately?

• I'm writing!
• I'm researching!
• I'm editing!
• I'm taking a break!
• I'm wishing I had time to write, but I'm just too busy with other things...

2.  Do you have a word count for the day or a snippet of a thought or a conversation you want to share?

3.  On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the most positive, how are you feeling about your writing efforts today -- and why did you choose that number?

4.  The "answer if you feel like it" question:  Do you find experiences from real life work their way into your writing?  Is this a good thing for you or bad?

1. Writing! I've been sick and unmotivated most of the month, so this is an improvement.

2. 760~ words. That's the most fic I've written in a single day this month.

3. 7. Today's writing was pretty rough and in need of editing, but I'm feeling optimistic.

That's great, especially after been sick for so long. Hope you are feeling better now!
