Wordcount for 13th of September: 400
Total wordcount on established relationship fic: 40,100

Finished the chapter and also got past 40K. \o/

All right: I am proud of my slow burn 18th century poly fic The Greater Happiness!

[cornerofmadness]

Huzzah, that's fantastic that you got it over 40K and thanks for sharing that poly fic. I don't know the fandom but I like historical fic and I like polys so I bookmarked it

[shadaras]

Day 13: I edited ~300 words out of a piece, both to tighten it and to fit a wordlimit. :) I'm very happy about this result! (This involved removing more words and adding some new ones back in, of course...)

[cornerofmadness]

Excellent, glad you're happy with it and you got it to the word limit. They're the ban of my existence sometimes

[badly_knitted]

Sept 13th - 1046 words, 4 double drabbles and editing on two fics for posting.

[cornerofmadness]

Lots of great work there!

[badly_knitted]

Thank you!

[sylvanwitch]

On Day 13, I added 424 words to the short story and also outlined my two choices for the final scene. I'm leaning toward one over the other because it empowers the female MC unexpectedly and inverts a popular trope. But we'll see.

[cornerofmadness]

Cool. Good luck with it. Inverting a popular trope can be fun

[nafs]

Day 13: typed up what I wrote for Day 7 (incidentally I appear to be missing from the Day 7 tally) and continued to bang my head against the "how do I plot" problem with more notes. Think I've wriggled my way out of one corner but I might have backed myself into another.

[cornerofmadness]

Ugh I know that out of one corner and into another feeling. I'm right there with you now. But good luck with it and ooops. I've added you in!

[sanguinity]

Sep 13: 200-ish words at the end of Ch7, before I got interrupted by my workday. (Which then blasted me enough that I never came back to it.)

The WIP I'm working on is Until Death or England Do Us Part, Bush/Hornblower, Fake Married AU. Chapter 1 is posted, and I'll be updating weekly.

[cornerofmadness]

Ugh to the work day blasting you but good job on getting some words in. Thanks for sharing. I need to bookmark this one since I do like Horatio!

[yasaman]

Day 12: did I check in for Day 12? don't recall, but I ended up writing a total of 271 words if I counted right between importing from Gdocs to Scrivener.
Day 13: 303 words!

[cornerofmadness]

I'll go look and be sure you're there for day 12 (I think so) and huzzah to all the words

[lferion]

13 Sept -- 100ish words on the poem idea from Saturday. Notes and fragments, but I know what I want to do with it.

[cornerofmadness]

Huzzah for figuring out where the story is going

[marvelouscity]

Day 13 - revised about 8 pages. One page took me literally two hours straight to get right, sigh. My deadline is coming up way too soon ...

[cornerofmadness]

I hear you on the deadline woes. I'm up against them too. SOrry the script is wrestling with you but glad you made progress. Good luck

[satoyan]

Day 13: a few sentences. Starting to think it might be time to chuck this one and try something else.

[cornerofmadness]

Sometimes it goes that way. Good luck

[china_shop]

14th: Alibi sentence and a few notes in my notebook.

[cornerofmadness]

nicely done

[ysilme]

I was surprisingly productive yesterday, first took out my main fannish WIP I'm power-procrastinating (at? for? with? what is the correct usage here?) since ever so long, and delved into my notes to find out where I need to continue, and then even adding 1,4k to my Drawer WIP.
I've got a full first draft for the fannish WIP (my first NaNo project), then started to work at it, found I had planet-sized plotholes and stuffing them has thrown me off track a few times already. *hides* The thing is more origfic than transformative and uses a part of canon which is only roughly sketched but has a few contradictionary versions, which makes this just so easy. /irony Add to that an abundance of notes in variou stages of research, several versions of the first draft with several stages of work at it (because I was stupid that way, and also had totally forgotten one of them at one point). But going through it all with my new tool (the permanent notebook with the app to comfortably scan and save the pages) seems to help getting something of an overview.

[cornerofmadness]

Power Procrastinating about? over? I don't know but I LOVE that description. That's me and everything I'm currently working on.

Good luck with that first nano. I know that feeling of finding massive plotholes or things that need reordering. It can suck you dry fixing it
