WIP Challenge Check-in -- Day 17 (Sunday)

[linaewen]

Hello, linaewen here as your mid-July WIP Challenge check-in person!  It's the beginning of a new week of writing, and I'm wondering how it's going for you.  Has the weekend been good to you so far?

Are any of the following on your list of things to do today?  For those of you at the end of your day, did any of these actually happen?

    * Writing
    * Editing
    * Sending to beta
    * Posting
    * Procrastinating
    * Planning/Researching
    * Taking a break
    * Something else I will describe in comments

Describe your WIP in 4 words or less __________

For a bit of discussion/sharing, I thought I'd turn to the Fictional Prowess Panda for inspiration.

 

 

For discussion -- How easy is it for you to get side-tracked when you are determined to write?  What kinds of things to you find yourself doing instead of writing?

I have not written anything as yet today (or this week for that matter). However, I finally have some free time and I am really going to try to apply myself to writing SOMETHING today! After a long time of not being able to write because of horridly busy RL, I hope I can get back into it and not get distracted. When I am out of the groove, it's hard to get back into it!

My WIP in 4 words -- ONLY TWO WEEKS LEFT!!!

As for the discussion, this particular panda comment describes me perfectly. I sit down determined to write, and end up using up my time doing something "easier" like playing a mindless game, reading other fanfic, or watching some anime. It happens more often than not, actually -- probably because I have too much on my plate and when I sit down I need to relax, and writing isn't always relaxing. ;-) Getting distracted helps me feel rested, but it doesn't get that Big Bang challenge story written that still is only half way done and the time for writing it is running out!
