Write Every Day Day 1

[cornerofmadness]

Hi everyone. Welcome back. Right off the bat, let me say I will be SLOW on day one/two as I have to go some 80 miles for a doctor's appointment...at 7 pm in the evening so I'll be gone all day. and here's what we're all about lifted right from zwei_hexen

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?
I’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.
New to WED? Got any questions?
Please don’t hesitate to contact

You're welcome

I'm going to try it.

I haven't written any fiction in almost six months. Maybe this is what I need to get back into the swing of things.

Good luck, and crossed fingers for your writing! WED (Write Every Day), or rather the special feature of an alibi sentence that is so common among us, has bridged me over many a difficult writing time as well as several periods of writer's block. May the magic of the alibi sentence also be with you, and bring you words!

[cornerofmadness]

nice, good luck

[badly_knitted]

Yay! Thank you for hosting the start of the month, especially with everything you're dealing with.

Oct 1st - 1091 words. An expanded ficathon fill, some good progress on my spook_me fic, and a single sentence on one of my 1character tables.

[cornerofmadness]

you're welcome

yay for the words. I need to progress on MY spook_me stories

[badly_knitted]

Thanks!

Good luck! We'll both get there.

[cornerofmadness]

I sure hope so

[goddess47]

Thanks for doing this and good luck with those appointments...

Day 1: Wrote a drabble and started this week's Full Moon Ficlet!

[cornerofmadness]

you're welcome and thanks

nice start

[ysilme]

Thank you for hosting the first half of the month! ♥
(Good grief, a doctor's appointment that late? All the sympathies! I hope the trip will behave otherwise. *hugs* )

Day 1: about 80 words for an older WIP, and some nonfic.

[cornerofmadness]

It's so people don't have to take off work because American employers are assholes about that.

yay for words

[cmk418]

Nice to see this again!

I wrote 152 words today for a little Fast & Furious Whumptober drabble.

[cornerofmadness]

nice work

[cornerofmadness]

thanks. and Nicely done

[brithistorian]

Thank you for hosting!

Day 1: 632 words of "Everybody Loves Lily!" This puts me about a third of the way through the final chapter of this story. I've got plans for two sequels to it, but even if those don't get written, this has ended up as a pretty self-contained story, which is a rarity for me! ^^

[cornerofmadness]

Yay for all that

[china_shop]

Thanks so much for hosting!! <3

1st & 2nd: work on gift fics for guardian_wishlist. A lot of editing, so complete failure to keep track of word counts. :-)

[cornerofmadness]

excellent

[carenejeans]

Thanks for hosting!

Day 1: 1228 words, which is more than I've written in one sitting for a while...

[cornerofmadness]

You're welcome and yay. That's great

[sylvanwitch]

Thank you so much for hosting us for the first half of the month. You rock!

On Day 1, for the first time since I began participating in WED, I just…completely forgot to write. It was a stressful day, I worked late and was tired… I’m irked at myself, but I’m just going to get back on the bike, so to speak.

[cornerofmadness]

You're welcome

Ah well, my day was similar so be kind to yourself. There's always today.
