Write Every Day - Day Three

How's it going? Day two I ended up with 1060 words on Bound by Fear. Nice to meet other late night writers and all you morning ones too. Let's not forget you afternoon ones! I was listening to Lou Diamond Phillips talk about writing his book and how he scribbles lines at work in between things and I thought yep this is me. One of my better pieces of writing advice is find what works for you, thinking on a writing friend who was super into An Artist's Way by Julia Cameron and insisted morning pages were the only legit way to do it. I'm like yeah...no. You do you.


On the technical side of things, turns out you can't schedule posts on DW (it occurs to me all my modding work was over on LJ and other times doing WED I didn't mind when I posted these so never tried scheduling) so there may b e a bit more variance in when they go up. I figure no one is going to mind tremendously. Also let me know in the comments what day you're posting about, thanks. Ironically using @ works to link the names in DW but not LJ ah the mysteries of coding.

And if I forgot you on a tally, let me know.

ETA - Day three I managed 1262 words on a prompt fic, Slither (Prodigal SOn) and posted it + 710 words on Bound by Fear

Fic - Slither (Prodigal Son)

I forgot to mention yesterday other things that had gone sideways like 150$ raise in my loan repayments and oh the shitty knee brace (that you can buy for 120$on Amazon) was from an out of network company and they charged NINE HUNDRED dollars for it. I owe 400 of that. And I really feel like someone (even if it's the insurance company who's out 500$) should report that bullshit. I do plan to tell the doc. I mean if I had learned a company I was using was pulling that shit I'd change companies because I DID do that when I was still seeing patients.

Anyhow onto the story.
