WIP Challenge Check-in, Day 11 -- Tuesday

[linaewen]

Hello on Tuesday!  Here's a random check in post for anyone who wants some help staying focused or wants to report on how things are going with writing this week.  So 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 outlining
       - I did research and/or canon review
       - 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

Tuesday Discussion:  We're coming up on the middle of the month pretty soon; how are your writing goals for the month holding up so far?

I've been doing some editing and also some brainstorming about a couple of plot points that have me stuck. I think I might be able to move forward after a bit more research!

I posted a quick epilogue and took less time off than planned before plunging right back into the outline for the next book.

This wasn't a goal, but I've amazed myself this year. Since I resumed writing in May, I've written three times more in the last four months than in all of 2019. And over 100,000 words of that was a single story in the last 31 days, 34 total from start to finish including initial outline. And while it's not 100% consistent, on the whole it's not just my fastest writing ever but some of my best in terms of prose and especially plot, always my weakest area. And I can't wait to see what comes next.

This is so exciting and very inspiring for us other writers to see what can be accomplished when the motivation is there! I'm glad you are still going strong!

That's amazing news.

What the heck, August has been a nonexistent, fictitious, sand-month. I got nothing done, or at least, so it feels.

I have two fics in my drafts, one old one new, that need proof-reading before posting. I was gonna do it today but then somehow spent half the day watching Netflix instead? Meh.

Ah well, tomorrow is another day etc.
