WIP Challenge Check-in -- Day 13 (Monday)

[linaewen]

I'm really pleased at all the good responses to yesterday's discussion about reviews.  I'm happy to see that, for the most part, we are all committed to our writing no matter whether we get reviews or not.  That makes the reviews we do get all the more sweet, I'd say!

So, is today going well for everyone?  Let us know how your Monday has been going, is currently going, or is hopefully going!

What writing-related pursuit did you engage in today?

• Writing
• Editing
• Sent to beta
• Posted
• Procrastinating
• Planning/Researching
• Something else I will describe in comments

For those who got some writing in, what was your word count?

For discussion:

• What is your favorite way to write your story when you are in the process of creating?  Can you only write on the computer?  Do you write it out on paper first, then type it up in a document?  A combination of the two?
• How do you handle notes for your stories as ideas come to you?  Do you scribble notes on anything that comes to hand -- envelopes, napkins, church bulletins?  Do you wake up at night and have to get up to write down an idea so it's not lost forever?

First Readers are so awesome! Their feedback always peps me up too. :)

There's nothing like knowing someone wants you to finish to make you actually work on something!

Oh yeah, definitively. Especially when you write a chaptered fic and find the same person again and again every time you publish a new chapter! ^^ It's really humbling and exciting at the same time \O/

Humbling is right! Accumulating a "fan club" can be scary -- they are people with expectations of your work. Oh no. But on the other hand, they're excited for what you write, which is pretty cool and really encouraging.

And when I publish a new chapter, I spend hours staring a my inbox, waiting for them to read it and tell what they think of it \O/

Lucky us!
