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?

Wrote nearly 900 words on a new fic that may actually be worth keeping. Did some editing on main WIP (which has breached the 10k barrier, a record for me ^^;;;;;). I feel like maybe I am getting back into the groove after the wasteland of last week. I only hope that work doesn't kick my ass quite as much!

I'll plow through the beginning of a fic if I have to; my strategy in general when writing is to just crank out words, & if they're crap, at least I'm warming up my brain & eventually good stuff will come out. I can revise a beginning; I can't edit what's not there.

YAY for 900 words and hitting 10K!!

Thank you! 10k is terrifying, but hopefully I can work w/it!!
