WIP Challenge Check-in, Day 22 -- Sunday

[linaewen]

Hello on Sunday and welcome to a new, fresh week of writing! 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

Sunday Discussion - What do you do to get started writing fic -- either a new fic or settling in for a writing session? Do you have any rituals that help you get going?

I haven't accomplished any writing of note this weekend -- as yet. We'll see how today goes...

My getting-started rituals include rereading anything I've already written (or if I'm starting new, doing research), making sure my desk is tidy, starting up some instrumental music, and then staring at the computer screen until my first sentence comes to me. Once I get the first sentence down, I'm usually able to keep going.
