Write Every Day - Day Sixteen

[cornerofmadness]

This writing prompt resonates with me. As I kid I didn't like the nights I had to stay at Grandma's because the sounds of the trains would wake me up. Mom told me it wasn't possible. The trains had stopped going thru there over twenty years before....


How's it going? I have so much work to do I don't know where to begin. ETA I did end up writing and for the first time in two weeks I felt like I accomplished something 681 words on the script + 723 words on the new thing

I did not type in the other 2 ficlets yesterday afternoon, but I did start the sequel I've been wanting to write (more a full-length fic than the vignettes I've been doing). Some fic words to try to figure out how I'm going to start the thing, but more organizational words.

Day 16: This morning I typed in those 2 ficlets (all 6 typed in now!), re-read/edited them, and so added a few more words. If luck holds I'll try my hand at re-starting the sequel fic, since I have a better idea of how it's going to be laid out.

[cornerofmadness]

Oooo to starting the sequel good luck with it and yay for typing in the ficlets too

[spikedluv]

Thank you!

[cornerofmadness]

you're welcome

Wordcount for 16th of September: 300
Total wordcount on established relationship fic: 40,600

Er, I got distracted by some other stuff...but I did get some words!

[cornerofmadness]

yay for words and hopefully the distractions were of the fun type

[badly_knitted]

Worn out tonight, but got a lot of writing done earlier.

Sept 16th - 1139 words, 3 double drabbles, a triple drabble, finished a ficlet I started a while back, and did some editing on a fic for posting.

Might not have time to write a lot over the next week or two, I'll be dismantling the collapsing garden sheds. Already started today, but the skip doesn't arrive until tomorrow afternoon.

[cornerofmadness]

Good luck with the destruction of the sheds. I'm sure that'll be a lot of hard work but yay for all the writing you did now

[badly_knitted]

Thanks. I loaded most of the loose stuff in the skip and managed to remove a door and break up a few floorboards, but I'm not strong enough or tall enough for some of the destroying. Hoping I'll have help over the weekend.

[cornerofmadness]

oh man, yeah I hear you. I hope you get help and do be careful. Y ou don't need to join me in the let's break ourselves spectacularly category

[badly_knitted]

I'm going carefully, I've done similar things before, but I was younger then. I'm really going to ache by morning. There's a lot to be done in the space of a week. Even though the shed is literally collapsing in places, some parts seem reluctant to let go.

[cornerofmadness]

At least you know what you're doing and of course the shed is like that. I mean why be easy right?

[badly_knitted]

My friend will take the sledgehammer to it tomorrow, I hope. I'm not so good with that, my hands are tiny. Wishing I had a crowbar; I could do more with one of those.

Day 16 (of September…it will always be September. We will never see October. We’ll be trapped in never-ending, first-month-of-school Hell. Why did I become a teacher? When did I abandon reason for madness? Heavens help us all! Doom! Doom!) I added 287 words to finish the short story. Decent landing, needs a little work.

[cornerofmadness]

nice work on the words and OMG am I SOOOOOOO with you on the never ending September. Wake me when September ends indeed.

[sanguinity]

Have courage! October WILL come, and free you from this first-month-of-school Hell, I promise! Cross my heart and pinkie swear!

[sylvanwitch]

This gave me a genuine smile. Thank you! :-)

[shadaras]

Day 16: Meta! Also editing a fic and then asking a friend if they'd like to beta it.

[cornerofmadness]

congrats on the meta and getting the editing done

[sanguinity]

Sep 16: Editing, editing, editing, editing. Also, pressed post on Ch2.

[cornerofmadness]

editing never seems to end. Good job on working through it

[yasaman]

Day 16: 336 words tonight! And now it's bed time.

[cornerofmadness]

nice job. Hope you had a good rest

[nafs]

Day 16 - put notes in something resembling an order according to day of the week/pov and I think I'm probably good to back to writing. still some holes, particularly in one POV on Thursday (most of my notes for her on this day boil down to "WAS NOT READY FOR EVENTS OF WEDNESDAY - cue panicking that resembles attempting to brainstorm a plan") but I think I can work with this for a while.

Going to write this down a few places to try and get it to stick: Fixing all the worldbuilding issues before they become plotholes: good. Solving all the characters' issues for them before conflicts and obstacles can arise to, y'know... be a plot: bad. Realized that was what I was doing with some of the scenes I wrote more recently and have shoved them aside in order that there's more of a communication issue between the two characters that will thus result in the younger one Doing Something Rash.

[cornerofmadness]

Sounds like some good advice you're sticky noting everywhere. Hope it helps the story. Sounds like the brainstorming is working out

[china_shop]

17th: 3863 words of a new thing; one section to go.

[cornerofmadness]

WOO HOO that's a lot of words.

[marvelouscity]

Day 16 - ok I just?? Finished this revision?? Which was about the same amount of work as the last couple of days even though it was technically more pages (35 ish pages but some of them needed less work). Wow. I'm going to bed lol

[cornerofmadness]

Huzzah to finishing the revision. That is always such a good feeling

[marvelouscity]

thanks :)

[lferion]

16 Sept -- Wrote a drabble for the Sept SWG challenge, did some sorting through my daily word files, copying things to where I can hopefully find them without having to remember when it was I wrote them.

[cornerofmadness]

Yay for all the progress. I know the feeling of not being able to find the files I need

[ysilme]

Oooh, that sounds spooky, about your childhood experience!
I think I forgot to check in yesterday; it's been an overful day anyway and I was too exhausted in the evening for writing, but had managed a bit in the morning.
15th: 919 words, mostly for the Drawer WIP
16th: 423 words for the Drawer WIP

[cornerofmadness]

My childhood had a lot of paranormal happenings (either that or my brain is weird)

sorry the day was over stuffed but yay for the progress. I'll add you in.
