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?

Yay, got slightly over 1,000 words for one of my ficss! The beginning could use a brush up, but I'll worry about that later. I'm quite excited for this fic and I think I might finish the rough draft of it by the end of this week if I really focus hard enough.

I used to write by hand, but when I first got a computer I tend typed my stories because it's neater and I can be able to correct the mistakes faster. I still write down ideas and outlines in a notebook, but I would then make a neater version of the outline in a Word document.

1'000 words is \O/ well done! ^^ (says the girl who didn't write one word xD )

It's funny how most people use more or less the same method: outline in notebook and story in word processor. But yeah, when you got a multi chapter stories, writing it down isn't easy and I don't know for you, but it would take me ages! I write so much faster on a keyboard ;p
