Checking in on Day 15

[linaewen]

Sorry I missed posting yesterday!  Tuesdays are always crazy for me, but yesterday was unimaginably odd, hectic and stressful.  So I didn't get over here to make a check-in post.  I'm glad folks kept posting in the previous entries, though -- seems like there are some good things happening out there in writer's land!  \o/

So it's half way through the month of June.  Are you feeling good about where you are at the moment in your writing?  How is it looking for accomplishing your goals for the month?

Since we're playing a bit of catch up here, for today's checking in feel free to share how yesterday went as well how it's going today!


What's happening in your world of words?

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

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

 

For discussion -- do you have any characters that were meant to be minor or even one-shots and they ended up taking over?  Do any of said minor characters "act up" and keep nudging you for a bigger role in the story?

I have about 2 stories that I'm working on. I tend to jump between them. A Harry Potter story and a romance short story. I have two stories in my head.. X-men and a Jonah Hex fic.X-Men is pushing to get out so I think the other two are going to be put on the back burner until X is out. Jonah is patiently waiting his turn. I have pages of notes about his fan fic so he's cool. X meanwhile is pushing and it's a wee bit annoying because well.. Sirius Black does not have Wolverine's claws.. I wrote in my HP fan fic last night that he did.. smacked myself in the head and crossed it out.
My X-Men story is based loosely off the last movie "The Last Stand". I am extremely disappointed that Cyclops and Jean died and Xavier is gone..

My story is like this Xavier has two grand daughter's [Raven and Rogue] that no one knows about.. Raven who is a telepath and can fly.. she is an Alpha her telepathic powers match Jean's only Raven's are a bit stronger as she has enhanced them. She also is able to absorb another mutants powers and those powers become hers. A gift she swore she would never use. The last time she used it she aquired her gift of flight. Jean and Raven are at odds and have been so since Jean came to the school. Rogue discovers that Raven is her sister that she was told was dead, killed by her human step father. Their mother was a mutant who deserted them after Rogue was born. Wolverine is heavy in this story. It's mostly based around Wolverine and Raven and Rogue.

When this story popped into my head I literally saw Raven's face, hence the icon is the face I saw. Lucy Lawless.

I tend to work on several fics at once too. If I were to solely focus on one, I'd get bored really quick.

That is a cool fic idea. :)
