WIP Challenge Check-in, Day 2 -- Wednesday

[linaewen]

Hello on Wednesday!  The week is half over already!  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 - When writing from a prompt, how do you go from the prompt to the story? Is it easier or harder to write from a provided prompt than writing from an idea that came out of your own head?
