[soldierwitch]

Hello, writers! Welcome to another Toot Your Horn Sunday! We're 19 days into this September challenge and my does the time seem to be flying. For those just joining us or who came aboard during linaewen 's hosting week, I'm Witch. I'll be your check-in host for the week.

Toot Your Horn Sundays are exactly what it says in the title. It's our chance to pat ourselves on the back and cheer about what we've accomplished so far in the challenge. Let's shout about how far we've come, y'all! Here are our discussion prompts:

-Name one thing you're happy about with your fic and/or the fic writing process so far.

-Share something you're proud of that you accomplished. Have you thought about your fic more than you had? Did you put something on the page no matter how short? Did you finish your outline or a first draft? Whether it's a big or small achievement, toot your horn!

-What do you have planned for this week in the September WIP challenge? Are you taking time off from writing? Pivoting to another part of your process? What are your goals for the week?

This September, i managed to fit some lovely things into smaller chunks of writing time (lovely to me). I enjoyed discovering how i can utilize a half an hour in the morning or so. I even wrote a few drabbles, something that i didn't know previously i was capable of so that's also a learning new things kind of enjoyment.
I still haven't made writing a regular habit again and didn't progress with my actual WIPs with actual deadlines that i should focus on. I will try to check in from now on, not only when i have good news to report because i feel like that would make the check ins more effective for me. So that's to goals: to add words to my WIPs steadily and to track my progress regardless.

Great goals! Also, carving out even a bit of time daily is so worth it. I made a discovery about morning writing recently as well, and for me it really is the best time to at least organize my thoughts and ideas even if I don't get anything down on the page because I can come back at another time and hop into my writing with a clear sense of direction.
