Sticky: August sign up

lilly_cIt's time to sign up for the August WIP challenge! Some people join the challenge mid month, or comment on check-in posts without signing up, which is fine -- I'm glad there's a way for the challenge to be useful in a variety of ways. For those of you who find the commitment of signing up useful, please leave a comment with the below information.
Sign-ups will be open until the end of August.
Copypaste below:
The post for hosting the daily check-in is here and thanks to everyone who helps out with this. If you're interested in helping out and there are still slots available the post remains open until the last week of the month and we generally run our week Sunday to Saturday, I'm happy to chat via PM on DW for anyone who might need it.
If you have ever completed a fic through this challenge we have a collection on AO3 and on SquidgeWorld both collections are open and unmoderated. Should there be an issue with adding a work, let me know and I'll see if there's a fix for it.
Sign-ups will be open until the end of August.
Level of challenge: 1 chapter, 1000 words, 1 fic finished, whatever you like
Fandom(s) involved: if you know at this point
What you're looking for from the challenge: this could be as vague or specific as you like: someone to be accountable to, someone to remind you to write, someone to bounce ideas off, etc.
What you could offer other participants yourself: ditto!
How people should contact you: DW message, e-mail, IM etc.
Time zone: useful for seeing who might be up for a writing session at a time convenient to you

glitteringstarsGood morning! Good afternoon! Good evening!
Hope everyone's doing well! How has writing been going today?
Amazing!
Good!
It's been a struggle!
Today was a rest day!
What do you like to have playing in the background while you write? Soundtracks? Music with lyrics? Podcasts? The radio? Silence? One specific song playing on loop that has you trained like one of Pavlov's dogs ?

How is everyone doing this fine day? Hopefully full of rest and self-care?
How's writing gone today?
-Fantastic!
-Moving along!
-By inches!
-Took a rest!
-Writer's block is kicking my ass!
For today's discussion topic (and totally not me fishing for drink and snack suggestions), what are your favorite foods or drinks to have on hand during a writing session? Or do you prefer to have little treats after a big writing accomplishment like finishing a chapter or a story?
