But. How were your Mondays? How's it going today?

--Written
--Edited
--Sent to beta
--Posted
--Planned/Plotted/Researched
--Something else I'll describe in comments

Speaking of research, what's the oddest, or most fun, or most esoteric thing you've ever had to research for a fic? Did you end up using that information?

Oh, research. :D

There was the time I had to research the ignition temperature of a fictional mineral... though that wasn't even for my story, I was beta reading. Then I've recently filed a motorcycle ride under "research" (for a specific fic, yeah), and also watching King Lear (for a different fic that has nothing to do with Shakespeare.) To me, pretty much anything can be research.

As to my writing: a thousand words of orig!fic rewritten today. It wants further rewriting, but it's getting there.

(Also found out that I stopped at least two different scenes of the same story in places that make me go AUGH BUT I WANTED TO READ THE REST! o_O)

Don't you hate that? I both look forward to and dread the point when I'm writing something where I just want to read the rest of the story but I know I have to write it first. :/
