Write Every Day April Day 1 and welcome

[cornerofmadness]

Hello all to April's write every day. If you've been around a while, you know the drill. If you're new, just reply and let me know the day's progress be it an alibi sentence to a 4K whopper of a day. It's all good. I'll probably be jamming these up right after midnight and tallying over the course of the day otherwise it would be late afternoon before I'd find time to with my work schedule. (I shall lament DW's inability to schedule posts until well they actually enact that for us)

You can slid into a post late if you need to or if you're like me and forget. No worries. I'll get you added to the tally.

What are everyone's plans for the month? I have two open calls I'm writing for (One dark fantasy, one steampunk pirates), working on the novel and I should be doing something with my getyourwordsout Yahtzee challenge and fandomtrumpshate project among others.

Day 1 - I got 1828 words on a surprise (to me) Angel Dust story for his birthday (Hazbin Hotel)

Thank you for hosting this month!

This week is going to be hectic for me, so it might just be alibi sentences (will do the actual check-in later today) but my plans right now are GYWO yahtzee and dick_or_treat fills.

[cornerofmadness]

Fantastic. I'll be over at dick or treat too...maybe

[trobadora]

Thank you for hosting this month!

I didn't manage to finish either of the two things I wanted to finish in March, so that's my plan for April now. That, and starting my 520 Day story - as soon as I decide what exactly I want to write ... *g*

[cornerofmadness]

You're not alone in not finishing stuff. Good luck getting them done!

Good luck on the 520 day story

[falkner]

Day 1: two alibi sentences, written on my phone while already in bed.

[cornerofmadness]

Sounds good to me

Hello! Thank you for hosting this month!

I don't think I have any specific plans except to keep writing, just a bit less than I have been, and keep up with the various weekly / monthly challenges I write for. Oh, almost forgot, Spring Renewal will be starting soon, so I hope to write a few fills for that.

April 1st - 929 words. Three double and one triple drabble, plus some minor editing on the fic I posted earlier.

[cornerofmadness]

Good luck with it all and look at you going already!

[badly_knitted]

Thank you! I'll probably be writing a lot less each day, or at least most days (some challenges usually result in longer fics), because it's spring and I wanna do other things like gardening and crafting, but I shall continue to write daily =)

[cornerofmadness]

understandable. It is that time of year to get in the garden (though I'm dreading my own)

[badly_knitted]

I'm just waiting for things to dry out enough, it's rained most of the winter and my garden keeps flooding, but there's more rain forecast, practically every day. I'm beginning to think this year will be as wet and miserable as last year was.

[cornerofmadness]

same here. I'm ready to build an arc. And with my injury gardening is getting too difficult

[badly_knitted]

Yes, I would imagine getting down on the ground, and back up again, would be difficult and painful. You have to be careful.

[cornerofmadness]

exactly right. it's...disappointing

[badly_knitted]

I can only imagine. Why do human bodies have to keep breaking down.

[cornerofmadness]

tell me about it

[sylvanwitch]

Thank you so much for hosting us in this busy month! You rock! :-)

My plan for the month is the same as the past three--average 500 words per day and try to finish this novel. It's going LONG, so there will be significant editing to come, but that's future me's problem. For now, I just want to keep on keeping on.

Day 1: 563 words, all of them angsty.

[cornerofmadness]

Good luck with it all. Yay for angsty words

[ysilme]

Thank you so much for hosting this month!
I've got a very busy month ahead of me - we're leaving for a week of holiday Saturday in a week and there's some power deep cleaning ahead of me as well as an unusual large amount of other plan, so I'll stick to my current writing default of working at the Nostalgia Project, but hope I'll find more time for research reading both for this and a novel project.
Day 1: 2k for a blog entry and about 900 words for the NP.

[cornerofmadness]

Good luck with all of that. You have a lot of great progress already

[ysilme]

Thank you!

[shanachie_quill]

Thank you for hosting! I'm still writing today, but hopefully I'll get more words.

I'm aiming for 6250 words for the month, plus a bit more since I'm behind in my yearly count.

I'm working on a lot of things: some original, some fanfic, and some for my website. Also a couple of things for my Patreon.

[cornerofmadness]

Good luck with all of that. Sounds like a lot of nice goals

[shanachie_quill]

Thank you!

I'm re-evaluating some things a bit also.

[cornerofmadness]

Good luck

[sanguinity]

Thank you for hosting us!

I have an exchange fic to write, but my plans are what they usually are: to write every day.

Apr 1: Canon review + alibi sentence.

[cornerofmadness]

Sounds great. Good luck

[cmk418]

227 words on a review post of tonight's hockey game

[cornerofmadness]

Nicely done

[cmk418]

This is a pretty great idea. Is it part of a larger challenge or community? I may have seen it mentioned before but this is the first time I'm actually participating in it.

[cornerofmadness]

Yep, it's a low pressure community that has no one specific place. Members take turns hosting a month. I haven't done so for a full month in over a year because of my health issues and time constraints

[yasaman]

Hello, thanks for hosting this month! My plan for the month is to get at least one fic finished and posted, and hopefully two! To that end, I worked on two WIPs today: 412 words on one, and 844 words on the other.

[cornerofmadness]

Sounds great. Good luck

[ofmonstrouswords]

Thanks for hosting this month!

April 1st; 3,751 words on main WIP

Plans for the month: finish literally any of my WIPs, write every day, write 30,000 words or more, participate in the Newsletter Ninja Cookie Challenge again and at least get my new cookie idea fleshed out if not started.

also how is it April???

[cornerofmadness]

How is it April indeed? I wish I knew.

Wow, that's a great amount of words. Good luck with all your goals
