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?

Wow, nice quote. I'm still in the toy/amusement stage atm, at least with fictional writing.

I went looking for something to sum up how I was feeling, and lo and behold, Churchill obliged ;) Love that man.

The nice part is that, since I'm plotting my slaves' revolt as we speak, I get to cycle back round to 'toy and amusement' soon. Or at least back to 'mistress', since the novel's already pretty high-maintenance...

CHURCHILL IS AWESOME. :D

[charamei]

YES.

I've seen that quote in my search for useful things to share, and it's an awesome quote! Truer words were never spoken, lol! Hope the slaves' revolt is progressing nicely at this stage, and that you haven't been re-shackled by the tyrant!

It's progressing in some way! I seem to have found a lockpick, at least ;) Or maybe it's a sonic screwdriver, you never know your luck.
