Write Every Day Day 13

[cornerofmadness]

Have the king of horror for Friday the Thirteenth. This is probably one of King’s more controversial quotes and often misinterpreted too but regardless, editing is important. I wish I enjoyed it more. It was funny one of the author’s group on that zoom meeting prefers editing to drafting, complete opposite of me.

Word faulted out HARD on me today. Lost a lot of what I wrote for the finish of the story. I recreated it but it’s not nearly as funny as the original. And then when it saved, Word put it under a complete different file name which thankfully I had posted that story so I could retrieve it. Sigh.

Oh no. those Word shenanigans sound infuriating! So sorry!

13th: about 400 words on yesterday's thing, plus some notes and thoughts for an angsty flashfic.

[cornerofmadness]

so frustrating



nice word count and good luck on the angsty flashfic

[sylvanwitch]

On Day 13, I wrote a drabble on the fairytale retelling theme and submitted it to an open call for said theme. I'm pretty proud of myself for just doing it instead of dithering. Go, me!

[cornerofmadness]

Yay for submitting. Hope the little flashfic does well

[sylvanwitch]

Thank you! 😊

[badly_knitted]

Don't think I could ever do that, but since I tend to write mostly short pieces, I guess it doesn't matter.

June 13th - 861 words. One expanded fill, a couple of double drabbles, and edits to tonight's two fics.

[cornerofmadness]

Oh it's hard, believe me. I've had to eliminate whole subplots and chapters before. It's ouchie

Yay for all those words

[badly_knitted]

>.< That would HURT!

Thank you!

[goddess47]

I've got 1000 words on this week's full moon ficlet, so that enough to check in here! I'll finish it tonight at some point!

[cornerofmadness]

oh that's excellent good luck with finishing

[luzula]

Day 13: 250 words of longfic. Not nothing!

[cornerofmadness]

Oh it's definitely something, yay.

[trobadora]

Checking in for the 13th.

That's so frustrating about Word!

Re: the King quote, I guess it depends on what your draft look like. Very often for me, it's not so much that I have to cut things away, but that I have to actually flesh things out. *g*

[cornerofmadness]

gotcha

honestly, same here a lot of the time. I tend to write too much dialogue not enough of anything else

[sanguinity]

June 13. Words!

[cornerofmadness]

gotcha

[cmk418]

237 for me tonight- the beginning of a story. I'm going to see if I can tie it somehow into a bingo prompt.

[cornerofmadness]

Nice progress, good luck with that

[chanter1944]

My apologies; I dropped the ball on checking in. However, I did not drop the ball on writing! ... I still apologize for the incoming spamation.

Checking in for days 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13. Whew!

[cornerofmadness]

No worries I'll get you added in. And yay for all that writing
