Write Every Day Day 1

[cornerofmadness]

Hello everyone. My usual followers have been warned about me double posting most days (and invited to join us) so for those of you coming in for WED, I just want to say I'm an active blogger so you will probably have to skim past my daily posts to find the WED post (but hey feel free to read and comment if something I'm saying interests you) and on Sundays I tend to do a writing post anyhow. I'm going to try to post these around Midnight because otherwise they'd go up late (oh for Dreamwidth to have a scheduling post process)

As for me I have so much writing I need to be doing. I have two more original short stories I should be working on. Fanfic wise I still have two stories for wipbigbang to finish, my fandomtrumpshate story, my intoabar story to start and my series for getyourwordsout yahtzee challenge.

If you're not familiar with Write Every Day let me share a modified version of the sticky post zwei_hexen created for the community

What is the Write Every Day challenge?
Write Every Day is just what its name says: We challenge each other to write, every single day. Our goal is to encourage one another and provide the accountability and/or motivation that some of us find very useful in keeping the words flowing. However, there's no obligation and no pressure, and if writing didn't happen for you on any given day, there won't be any judgement, just support and sympathy!

Who can participate?
Everyone is welcome! We’re an open-minded, nonjudgmental group of people who enjoy writing.

What do I have to do?
We’ll post each day with a little bit about our writing and a running tally of participants. All you need to do is drop by the comments on the most recent tally entry to let us know how you’re doing. Please know that you are never obligated to check in. Also, if you'd like to comment on someone else's comment but aren't checking in for yourself, that's perfectly fine too. We're really easygoing 'round here, and conversation is absolutely encouraged.

Is there a word limit or quota?
Nope. Write as little as an “alibi” sentence (just what it sounds like—a sentence you write to say you’ve written, an alibi for the day, as it were) or as much as you’d like. All word counts are welcome!

Is there any restriction on the kind of writing I can do?
Absolutely not! Fanfiction, original fiction, screenplays, blog posts, meta, academic writing, morning pages, reviews, editing, letter-writing, nonsense poems, bucket list: if it feels like writing to you, it counts!

Do I have to participate all the time?
No way! You can come and go at your pleasure.

Thank you so much for hosting this month!! <3 <3 <3

1st: I, uh, got a little carried away and blatted out 4343 words today. No idea if they make any sense, but oh well, I had fun. :-)

[cornerofmadness]

Whoo hoo, that's an amazing start

[badly_knitted]

Hello again, and thank you for hosting!

My goal this month is to keep expanding all the snippets I wrote for threesentenceficathon. There are still a lot. My daily wordcount will be going down a bit this month, if I can convince myself that it's okay to do that.

June 1st - 738 words. Two double drabbles and one expanded ficlet.

[cornerofmadness]

good luck with all of that

[badly_knitted]

Thank you! I've been expanding them one a day right through April and May, and I still have dozens to do.

[cornerofmadness]

and expanding stories isn't always easy. Been there done that

[badly_knitted]

True, and a lot of these are three sentences, or six sentences... Trying to get them all over 500 words, that seems like a reasonable length to post on my journal.

[cornerofmadness]

that shouldn't be too horrible

[badly_knitted]

So far it's not going too badly. I have three or four so far that I haven't been able to get past 500 words, but most are going well past, some even up over 700 or 800 words. One went over 1k. I have several I feel have the potential to be in that ballpark, so I'm leaving those until last, dealing with the shorter ones first, but they're spread over about 6 fandoms, plus a couple of original fic ones. I pick one at random every evening and see what I can make of it.

[cornerofmadness]

sounds good

[badly_knitted]

Thanks!

[sylvanwitch]

Thank you for hosting us this month! You rock! :-)

I don't have a specific goal for June, though I should probably edit the other m/m romance novel I wrote a while back, and I'll probably try to send out a couple of things? We'll see.

For today, we marched in our local pride parade this morning/early afternoon, and now I am completely wiped out, so I wrote a 144-word poem about the experience and am calling that my words for Day 1.

[cornerofmadness]

Yay for marching and the poem

[goddess47]

I finished a ficlet I started yesterday and finished the draft of the first chapter of a big bang that needs to be mostly done by the end of the month. So I'll be whining about it regularly!

Thanks for hosting!

[cornerofmadness]

Yay for finishing. Good luck with the big bang

[trobadora]

Thank you for hosting this month!

Checking in for the 1st.

[cornerofmadness]

You're welcome and gotcha

[shadaras]

Day 1: ~1k for text rp/collab story thoughts

[cornerofmadness]

Nice!

[cmk418]

Thanks for hosting. 446 words on Day 1

[cornerofmadness]

you're welcome. Yay words

[nafs]

Thank you for hosting, particularly when you've got a fair bit going on.

My goal for this month is pretty much what it's been for a while, which is to put down some words until my brain tells me it's ready to tackle the mess I've made of the major project again. To that end, I came up with 300+ words today.

[cornerofmadness]

excellent and good luck with the major project when your brain decides you can tackle it

[sanguinity]

Thank you for hosting for us!

June 1. Words!

[cornerofmadness]

Sweet!

[yasaman]

Hello again! Thanks for hosting this month! I managed to write 520 words to kick off the month.

[cornerofmadness]

Hi.

Great start to the month
