cornerofmadness | Write Every day: Day 11

I'm putting this up early during my exam so I'll have to add in the tally later tonight. Sorry. I wanted to do this now because it'll be midnight and I'll still be grading all these things (My university has no TAs so it's all on me which is actually good as I am a control freak)

ETA - The tally has been updated and a student stopped by to apologize about how bad they did on the exam.

ETA #2 I finished 1309 words on the prodigal son gift fic

Here's the tally. If I've forgotten you or you signed up a bit late, let me know. I'll be sure to add you!

Day 11 - 1000 words, two 500 word ficlets.

Too tired for anything more tomight.

From:

cornerofmadness

THat's great progress (and I hear you!)

From:

badly_knitted

Thanks!

Yeah, some days are like that...

From:

cornerofmadness

They certainly are

From:

spindle_ella

Editing, so I'm like 5 words up overall.

From:

cornerofmadness

Yay for doing the hard work of editing

From:

alexseanchai

where the firelight fades is over 51K

this is harder going than I thought it would be at this point? though part of it is definitely my mental drafts ignored a bunch of moving parts that I can't actually ignore here

From:

cornerofmadness

Good luck figuring it all out.

From:

sylvanwitch

When students say things like that to me, I always have to bite back my immediate, perhaps too caustic reaction, which is inevitably along the lines of, "Yeah, I'm so sorry I sprung that pop unit test on you with absolutely no notice, so you couldn't study or anything. If only I'd had it on the calendar for weeks." ;-)

All the empathy for having to grade those suckers now.

It's T's bday, so I squeezed in 313 words while he was out getting the take-out. Now we've had pizza, cake (for him; low-fat, vegan ice "cream" for me), presents, and an episode of Brokenwood Mysteries. Next up: Another episode! Yay!

From:

cornerofmadness

I know, right? I even moved my test so it wouldn't be the same day as the all important nursing test. Eye roll. I made it thru one class. I'll do the other tomorrow as it's nearly 830 pm at this point.

Happy birthday to T (I also had pizza) I need to watch more of those mysteries. enjoy and yay for getting out words anyhow

From:

deifire

Sympathies. I'm mostly editing, but did add 30-something words.

From:

cornerofmadness

THank you.

Editing is hard work. Go you

From:

the_siobhan

Just a couple of hundred words tonight. It's been an exhausting day.

From:

cornerofmadness

Sorry to hear it but yay for getting some words out

From:

nafs

Got three pages of longhand in while killing time between work and dinner with a friend.

From:

cornerofmadness

good work!

From:

sanguinity

Two longhand pages on the bus this morning. And then work drained all the life out of me, so while I sat there with my notebook at lunch, no actual words hit the page.

(But at least I got some pages done on the bus this morning!)

From:

cornerofmadness

Work will do that. Congrats on the other work though

From:

sakana17

February 11: 2303 words

From:

bladespark

I'm joining the party. Better late then never, I guess? I wrote on the 9th, 10th, and today. Trying to kick a couple of Patreon stories out the door, and also was working on a silly sci-fi thing that I just now finished. :3

From:

cornerofmadness

Welcome aboard. I'll add you in and good luck with that patreon stories!

From:

lferion

Day 11 - 120 words on a/the follow up fic to Lord & Liegeman. The picture you posted yesterday was inspirational -- thank you!

cornerofmadness

Glad you liked the pic. Yay for progress

From:

yasaman

Day 11: 2,083 words for me, yaaay progress

From:

cornerofmadness

That is fantastic progress. congrats

From:

ysilme

Yay for your word count, particularly among all the grading! *\O/*
I finished my exchange story with 2,3k new words (I rewrote parts of the existing chapters, too) and sent it off to the beta, even within my extension! (Ok, extension usually means you hand in the finished thing, of course, but I got the option of even more extension if necessary, and with this exchange I often need one or two days extra for SPAG beta, which I always get since the mod says everything's fine as long as the story already exists.)
