[samuraiter]

Next month, I will be hosting Week 2 instead of Week 4. Astounding! But, in the meantime, what have you been doing?

— Thinking. Maybe a little, maybe a lot.
— Writing.
— Outlining, planning, and / or prewriting.
— Researching and / or revisiting canon.
— Editing.
— Sending things to the beta.
— Posting!
— Relaxing, taking a break, etc.
— Other stuff-ing. Look at the comments.

Question: What are your writing plans for the last week of this month?

I have been involved in a writing activity every day this month, but it hasn't actually produced all that many actual words towards advancing in my various WIPs. So that is the plan for the week, to get out of preparation mode and do some actual writing!

I've been writing - Sunday was my 24th day of writing at least 100 words a day.

I also created a notes page for the fic I'm currently writing. It's broken down by character and by date. By character I can look and see important facts about that character, including who they're dating now, who they dated in the past, and what story events that were present for. By date, I can see what events occurred on a particular day, in order of occurrence, along with what characters were at each event and chapter they occurred in. The date section also includes future dates, so I can plan things out and have them occur in the proper order. I have never been this organized for a fic, and I feel like it's going to make a huge difference.

:-D It is possible to be 'in the zone' for preparation in the same way as being in the zone for writing, IMO. Good luck!
