WIP Challenge Check-in, Day 2 -- Thursday

[linaewen]

Hello on Thursday!  This is later than I usually post, but it is definitely still Thursday where I am.  What kind of a writing day has it been today -- or yesterday, if today hasn't gotten going yet?

•     I thought about my fic once or twice
•     I wrote
•     I did some planning and/or research
•     I edited
•     I've sent my fic off to my beta
•     I posted today!
•     I'm taking a break
•     I did something else that I'll talk about in a comment

Thursday Discussion - If a reader calls your attention to a mistake in one of your fics, do you go back to fix it or do you leave it as it is?

I am writing, in that I'm about to help someone I tutor write an essay for an English class. No fic writing is happening as yet, but that should change tomorrow, as I have the day off.

I'm usually the one who catches my own errors, whether they be continuity errors or spelling/grammar mistakes -- but I will go back and fix them if they are called to my attention!

Posted Dirty Pair, writing Buffy.

Whether a reader points out an error or I notice after posting, whether or not I fix it depends on how big it is/how much it bugs me. Actual typos, pretty much always. Continuity, depends how much I care and how lazy I feel.

I seem to be stuck in the 'thinking' phase so far, but that is okay. It is progress. I did write a bit earlier this week, but Halloween at work flattened me, and I am still recovering from that.

Readers have been very helpful for catching goofs in the past, so, yes, if it is a genuine mistake (especially missing words, my nemesis), I will immediately go back and fix it if it gets spotted.

I wrote.

I will fix something if it's pointed out.
