October WIP Challenge Check-In, Day 25--Sprint #1

[soldierwitch]

 

Hello, writers! Welcome to our first check-in/writing sprint of the week. In the comments below you'll find a comment thread for each hour block of our 9 am - 12 pm time window for the sprint. Please keep voting for time slot options for this week if the current window doesn't work for you. We'll be doing a sprint on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday as well (these will also be our check-in days for the week). You can pick more than one time slot in the poll. If a time slot gets enough votes I'll be adding it to our time window.

If you don't know what a writing sprint is, no worries. It's rather simple. For an allotted amount of time, you'll be writing as much as you can on a writing goal. You can work on your fic, an outline, or plan your fic as long as you're writing. While this is an activity you can do on your own, some writers like doing writing sprints together for the sense of companionship and community. It can be nice to know someone is working on something at the same time you are, and you can talk to them while you work, too.

Whether you're participating in the writing sprint or not, feel free to check-in like usual. Here are our discussion prompts for the day!

Discussion prompts
 

• Writing wise, what are your plans for the last week in October?
• Are you writing anything for Halloween?
• Have you met your goals for October? If not, do you plan to carry them into November or start fresh on new goals?

I'll be participating in every single one that I'm not doing something else during.

No plan to write anything Halloween specific, though I'll probably have that mindset while I continue on current chapter. I was doing well on my vague goals for October until this past week, but with all the severe problems mostly addressed it's time to quit thinking about that crap and get back to work.

I'm going to try for this one since I really need to get progress on this exchange fic. I like my assignment but have been struggling to get anything done.

Sprint was a bust, but I managed some words later in the day. So I'm calling that a win.

Words on the page regardless of when they made it there is definitely a win! 🏆
