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've admittedly been a bit slack of late. I never seem to find enough time on the weekend to write. Most annoying. That, and I spent the weekend writing out ridiculously long PM replies about Egyptian gods. Like, 2-3k long. That was pretty much all I wrote all weekend. Did manage to find a beta for my AU big bang fic though. That's given me something less to worry about.

Hoping to get some writing done today though. Now that AU big bang is out of the way, I just have musing_way, Glitter, and kinked big bang to work on. Given I still have September to work on kinked as well, I'm not so worried about that. There's nothing urgent to write anymore, and I'm enjoying the distinct lack of far too close for comfort deadlines.

SO. Might tackle those last three chapters of Glitter today. I still have the epic final battle to write, and I hope I can stretch it out long enough. Else I'll just cut that empty chapter and keep going. Or something. XD I want this fic finished so badly I can't even. I just need to write those bloody chapters. I'm just going through it now, refamiliarising myself with it. I still have some bits in need of rewriting since I deleted a subplot. So yes. Funtiems.

I'm more likely to be sidetracked when I'm not so eager to write. Or if I'm in the middle of writing and discover I need to research some minor little detail I can't bear to leave unchecked. Then I spend an hour on Google, or trawling Street View on Google Earth for four hours, and maybe I'll write another paragraph or two. Google, I hate you. XD
