Tell us how your day has gone, writing wise:

Awesome!
Pretty good.
On schedule.
Okay.
Like crap.
I took the day off.

Share your word count if you've got one; your current research (whether surfing the Net or re-watching/rereading your fandom source); are you refreshing your well of creativity by reading, watching TV,  seeing a movie or listening to music; or has real life taken a swipe at you?

Discussion questions:

Do you also write original fiction? If so, what genre?

Do you belong to any type of writing group or organization? If so, what kind (specific genre or strictly a critique group, etc.) and for how long?

Okay. Today was mostly a slack-off day, but I did my daily 750 words of which about 100 were fiction. The rest mostly consisted of planning future stuff that I want to write, which was good. \o/

I've written original fiction and lately I've started to get back to the habit of writing in it. The most common type of story I write is the good old 'slice of life', but I also like writing stories with science fiction/supernatural/horror-themes, and one of my big projects now is to rewrite an old NaNoWriMo. How that will work out, we shall see. :)

I've been participating in a writing group where you write texts for therapy purposes, but I've been thinking of possibly joining some other group. I'm pretty lethargic person in general though, so that's not for sure.

Regular writing habits are definitely a good thing.

Oh, "slice of life" is such a cool genre! Good for you writing it. :)

Also, thumbs up for doing the daily 750 words. Oftentimes, what gets the words flowing is getting into the habit of, well, writing.
