WIP Challenge Check-in, Day 21 -- Thursday

[linaewen]

Hello on Thursday!  I thought I would pop in and see how the writing is going this week.  I had a day of writing that was so successful it made the whole week a good one -- what's it been like for you so far this week?

   - I thought about my fic once or twice
   - I wrote
   - I did some planning and/or research
   - 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

Looking forward an extra day or two, how are you planning to spend your weekend?

   - I'm going to make up for not writing all week by having a writing marathon
   - I'm going to keep writing at my current rate and see how it goes
   - I have other plans, but I might have time to get some writing in
   - I'm going to take a break from writing

Earlier this week I was able to spend a couple of good sessions with my WIP and I finally got a new chapter written, edited and posted! I will not share how long it has been since that WIP was updated, but trust me, it was way too long ago! So it was a major accomplishment for me. Now I am brainstorming the next chapter, which is kind of new territory, since I spent so much time thinking abut the previous chapter! I have a vague outline but I need more meat to it in order to be able to start writing the next chapter.

I have some other writing work to do this weekend, but I think I will try my hand at a mini marathon and see if I can make some good progress. I don't want to lose momentum now that I actually have some!

Writing! I've been working on an exchange fic, which hopefully I can wrap up this week.

Been thinking about my fic some, and will get writing on it soon.

I'm currently on a second draft of this fic, and am experiencing both "hooray, I've written more per day this month than I was aiming for" and "yet somehow I am not nearly as far along in the fic as a whole as I was hoping to be." So apparently I set some slightly unrealistic expectations for myself, and need to reassess!
