July WIP challenge: day 10

[in_lighter_ink]

Hello, fellow WIP-ers! How have your weekends been? Productive? Relaxing?


Today, I've:
- Written
- Edited
- Sent fic to beta
- Posted
- Planned and/or researched
- Procrastinated
- Something else I will describe in comments.

And a question, as a new week begins: What do you guys do when you just can't get a fic's beginning to work? Do you plow through, then go back and edit or re-write later? Skip to a scene that's more inspiring? Try a completely different point of view or style?

The weekend has been productive all the way around, so I can't complain. I got a lot accomplished yesterday on my challenge fic, though not quite as much today, but that's okay. At this point, I'm going to put aside my challenge fic and try to get some work done on my original fic.

When the beginning of a fic give me fits, I usually plow through writing whatever crap comes out of my fingers until I finally get to where I want to be. Then I go back and edit.

Update on original fic: I crested the 6900 mark. I'm aiming for 7500 words so as to reach "novelette" status. Getting closer. Woo hoo.

Seven thousand words and counting!

7100...!
