Checking in on Day 31

[linaewen]

I only had three days of check in posts to do this month, and I totally missed one of them!  Sorry, sorry.

Please share all your awesome word counts from yesterday and today, as well as anything else related to your writing -- how it went (or didn't), whether you met a goal for this month (or didn't), how you are encouraged by what you have done this month (or how you are discouraged).

The question for the day which you can discuss if you are so inclined is:

How do you really feel about having a deadline set on your writing?  Does it help or actually hinder you?

 

Have a great day of writing today!  \o/

My goal for the month was to finish two WIPs for charity auctions. I finished one a few days ago (yay!), but the second one is being rather uncooperative. I wrote about 1700 words yesterday, though, and I now have basically all the pieces of a finished fic; I just need to make them play nicely together. So help me, this thing is going to be beta-able by the end of the day!

Deadlines tend to help rather than hinder. I procrastinate like nobody's business, so it's nice to have a point where I have to get to work. Self-imposed deadlines aren't quite as effective as challenge or other "official" deadlines, but they're better than nothing.
