Checking in on Day 29

[linaewen]

The month of May is almost over -- yes, already!  So, how are things looking for you today in your writing?  Are you going to meet your goals for the month?  Have you already met them -- or have you already despaired of meeting them and are waiting for June to come to make a fresh start?

Click "Reply" and let us know the good or the bad, or anything in between.  Share word counts if you have one, or something about your research or idea gathering.  If you haven't made the progress you had hoped to make as yet, feel free to complain about it here and find some encouragement in the process!

Do you ever feel like this is what you are doing in order to get your word count up?

I WROOOOOOOOOOTE. I wrote and wrote and wrote and then there were 50,025 words. So I came over to the Internet to tell people. :D

(Probably I am posting this comment while Linaewen is making the next post and nobody will see it. But I wrooooooooote.)

Wordcounts! Well. This is the first time I've tried to hit a minimum wordcount. Yes, I feel like I've been kind of babbling wordily. But it's mainly just because I always start with something wordy and then rephrase it to be pithy and cool; this time I just didn't rephrase before I wrote stuff down. (Ack, the amount of rewriting I will need. Especially in James's dialogue - he's this very terse person really, and I've been doing these babbly OOC paragraphs just getting down what he needs to say, because rewriting to cut his wordcount down is a Whole Other Thing.)

This is totally awesome! I have been staring at a page that is begging for some words from me but so far none have been written. But you encourage me that it's actually possible to write those words -- and lots of them!

I missed the boat on a new post for Day 30, oops.
