June WIP challenge - debrief?

[littlebutfierce]

Hi folks -- I'm going to put up the first check-in post for July's WIP challenge later (after I have a chance to write something myself, heh).

But I thought it'd be good to put up a post to see how the June challenge ended for people! Did you meet your goals? If not, were you satisfied anyway? Are there things you learned about how to kick your butt into gear? Are there things we could be doing more of in this comm (&, crucially, are there people interested in getting more involved in the running of the challenge if so)?

& just a reminder that we have a WIP Challenge collection on AO3; if you've finished fics through the challenge, please do feel free to add them there! If you need an invite let me know.

I'm sorry you didn't get to write as much as you wanted last month, though yay for high word counts!

Sometimes if I'm repetitive on 750 Words it just means I need to figure out the best way to express whatever themes I'm obviously consumed w/at the time -- like sometimes I'll write a scene one day, like the idea but think it was a bit too rough, & go back the next day & write it again as part of my 750 for the day... it seems to help me, most of the time anyway!

I hope your month goes better for fic this time around!

Thanks for your thoughts.

I'm putting June down to being part of the learning process ^_~

750 w is amazing in fact. I just found the part where is analyses your cheerfulness and counts how many times you curse!

The learning process is a good thing! I mean, it's good in & of itself, but... yeah. I like chalking things up to the learning process as well. ;)

Ahahahaha, I'm almost afraid to see how many times I've cursed in 750 Words (that would be on days when I'm not writing fic & am instead letting off steam about my coworkers, I suspect...).
