After the checkin I already posted for today, I reopened Scrivener and wrote 370 words of unrelated smut. If this is the WED effect, I'm all for it. :D

[dorinda]

Yaaaaayyyyy! I do find WED really helpful, it's true. :D

[marycrawford]

I suspect that it may mostly be the 'I want to write more but ooh, shiny new thing' effect, but even so, the WED is helpful. :D Thanks for pointing me to it!

[sakanawords]

That's awesome! Yay! \o/

[marycrawford]

Thanks for the encouragement!

[badly_knitted]

Oct 3rd - 850 words, a double drabble, a quadruple drabble, and a 250 worder.

[sakanawords]

That's fantastic!

[badly_knitted]

Thanks!

[luzula]

Wordcount for 3rd of October: 500
Total wordcount on established relationship longfic: 46,000

Wrote some more on the last chapter...

[sakanawords]

Excellent progress!

[trobadora]

Additional check-in for the 3rd: I just finished the fic I was working on (a Time Engraver/Pizza Hut Bai Yu crossover) and it's posted now! \o/

[sakanawords]

Hurray! \o/

[shadaras]

Day 3: Working on some exchange fic due next week. :)

[sakanawords]

Hurray!

[sylvanwitch]

On Day 3, I added 435 more words to the portal story. I think I'll be reaching the climax in the next day or two.

[sakanawords]

That's fantastic!

[ysilme]

Thanks for the link!
Today was a good writing day; 3/4 pages of longhand plus 732 words for the drawer WIP as well as lots of reading to get into the mindset of the next WIP.

[sakanawords]

Wow, that's an excellent writing day!

[dorinda]

Oct. 3: even though I got in a bit late, I wrote some more sentences on the drawerfic. Whew!

[sakanawords]

Yay for more sentences! \o/

[sanguinity]

Oct 3: Rewrote the ending of Fake Married again (as opposed to Fake Married Again), adding another 570-ish words to it. The last sentence still isn't quite right, but agh, I am so close. So close so close so close so close so close.

[sakanawords]

You're close!! Hurray!! \o/

Hello, checking in for both Days 2 and 3!
Day 2 was just a couple of sentences longhand that set up a possibility I may not actually want to use but could also be very useful if I do it right.
Day 3 involved tackling a scene I keep coming back to and recently realized that no I had not actually finalized a draft for. Read through all the component parts I had just dumped into the doc together, moved stuff around and wrote bits here and there so it at least has a beginning, middle and end and doesn't wander off into side notions as often. Still needs another tweaking so it's doing *all* the things I need it to, even in rough draft, but it's a lot closer.

[sakanawords]

Sounds like tough work but excellent progress!

[thevetia]

Oct 3 Wrote nearly a page of outline of a porn story I shouldn't be writing yet until I finish the grimdark scene of the story I really should be writing. Maybe if I start to work on the porn the grimdark scene will suddenly become more attractive to work on?

[sakanawords]

I'm conflicted about how to encourage you! If the porn story is the one we were talking about, I (selfishly) want that story, too. :D But you're really close to finishing the other one, and remember there's payoff after the grimdark scene! However, if everything is focused on one story, you may need to get that out of your system before you can focus on the other story.

[sakana17]

Day 3: 1899 words and I think I can see where it's going.

[marycrawford]

You are GOING PLACES.

[sakanawords]

♥

[cornerofmadness]

Finished my original short story so there's that. I'm not sure how I feel about it.


I got 823 words on Digging Up Bones

[sakanawords]

Yay for finishing! Maybe it'll feel differently after a little while?

And that's an excellent word count!

[cornerofmadness]

thanks. I think my deadline is in a day or two so not a lot of time for it to marinate

[yasaman]

Day 3: couldn't help myself and ended up editing what I wrote yesterday rather than moving on to write new scenes, for a total of 266 more words for today.

[sakanawords]

Yay, that's progress!

[marvelouscity]

Day 3 - just a couple sentences.

[sakanawords]

That's more words - hurray!

[carenejeans]

Day 3: About 600 words of brainstorming on a possible story... I just wanted to see if I COULD come up with a passable idea if I were to sign up for the holiday exchange I'm eyeing. It looks like my fic brain still works! \o/

[sakanawords]

Oh, that's excellent! Hurray! \o/

[lferion]

3 Oct -- 100 words on a drabble for the current fan-flashworks challenge.

[sakanawords]

Fantastic!

[satoyan]

Day 3: a couple of sentences.

[sakanawords]

That's more words - hurray!

[china_shop]

3rd & 4th: editing my WIP. :-)

[sakanawords]

That's excellent!
