WIP Challenge Check-in, Day 16 -- Sunday

Hello on Sunday!  It's a new week, with fresh opportunities for writing!  What kind of a writing day has it been so far today -- or if today hasn't gotten going yet, how did you fare yesterday?

       - I thought about my fic once or twice
       - I wrote
       - I did some planning and/or research
       - I edited
       - I've sent my fic off to my beta
       - I posted today!
       - I'm taking a break
       - I did something else that I'll talk about in a comment

Sunday Discussion:  How are you doing at reaching your writing goals for the month?  What will be your writing emphasis this week?

I agree about writing what you're excited to write, especially when it comes to fanfic. Enjoy the process and don't worry about what others do or don't do once it's posted. It is a busy time of year for many so we all may see more activity in a few weeks.

Definitely. This particular bunny I started on a few days ago is going so well that I'm totally in the zone both in terms of writing output and in terms of being happy with it even if it gets no attention. And even my least popular stuff gets *some* hits. Guess I'm finding it easier to focus on the positive as I get older *snort* But seriously, I kind of felt like I'd forgotten how to write non-shippy gen stuff, and not only is this coming out almost effortlessly, it's got more of a plot than I've been able to string together in forever (short version: plot has never been my strong suit). So I'm gonna keep riding this puppy as long as I can, and see where it takes me, because so far it's been surprises all the way.

That sounds like a fun plot bunny; enjoy the ride! I'm back to fanfic after a 6 year hiatus and I've got so many ideas all demanding attention that I'm trying to get shit typed before I forget it. It's been fun digging back into characters I haven't talked to in so long.
