I'm still packing ALL THE THINGS for moving house on Friday. Also in there should be some cleaning of the current house too. ^^;;;

I did manage to do 800+ words of character sketch stuff -- noodling around, really, to see how comfortable I am in a new fandom.

My writing process tends to start off w/750 Words. I'll start drafting a fill for a prompt or just start writing any kinda fic in there, really. Some of it ends up being just stuff to warm up my brain & not really worth keeping. But some of it ends up being worth working on & editing. I think I tend to try to get a rough draft out (even if it's missing a scene or two) before I start editing anything.

I'm pretty good at churning out tons of words at the beginning of a fic, & then pruning out lots of them for the first editing pass. The finer details of editing can frustrate me sometimes, like when I feel like a fic isn't quite right yet but I can't get the energy to fix it. The writing sessions in this comm have been good ways to get me to edit steadily!

Awesome that you still wrote despite the impending move. Good for you!
