Write Every Day: Day 3

[tomakeanoffer]

Today's Writing:
I got around 700 words today. I'm pretty pleased with it, as a lot of the words came from going back and adding words to what I've already written. I'm at 2000 words in my first story and am hoping to find a way to wrap it up in the next few days, so I have time to edit and submit it before the 11th. We will see though!

Tally:
Day One: alexseanchai,auroracloud, carenejeans, cornerofmadness, navaan, sylvanwitch, talkingtothesky, teigh_corvus, trobadora, ysilme and me! (11 total)
Day Two: alexseanchai,auroracloud, carenejeans, cornerofmadness, mdlbear, navaan, sylvanwitch, talkingtothesky, teigh_corvus, trobadora, ysilme and me! (12 total)

If I missed you, or you're checking in late, let me know and I will happily add you!

Congrats on the words.

I did well in the afternoon but the evening was a total wash. I got 2015 words today.

[tomakeanoffer]

Hey, you got an excellent number, even if part of the day was a wash. <3

[cornerofmadness]

Thanks.

[alexseanchai]

Finished ch 2, not met day goal but still ahead of month

[tomakeanoffer]

Woosh! You are doing fantastic and I hope it stays that way.

[carenejeans]

Sounds like you're making good progress!

I wrote 411 words for Mini-wrimo, on the bookshop novel. Plus a bit more brainstorming on that.

And the usual work on the nonfiction thing.

[tomakeanoffer]

Yaaay bookshop novel! :D

[talkingtothesky]

Best of luck wrapping your story up!

I did well in the morning, then fell apart in the evening. Family drama really sucks, especially when you have anxiety. Added 3300 words, mostly brainstorming.

[tomakeanoffer]

*hugs you gently* I hope you're okay. If you need to talk to anyone, let me know. You can PM me, or I think you have my email.

[navaan]

Oh, that's always nice when it happens during going back! Good luck with finishing it as planned!

I wrote exactly 1230 words today. All of them were a bit of a struggle, but I feel this fight had to be fought so I can move on from this scene and the rest can be saved during edits.

[tomakeanoffer]

Edits are the best thing, you can make all the things so much better with edits.

[auroracloud]

Yay words! Good luck wrapping up the story so you have time to edit! ♥

I finished one of the ficlets I'd started, and I wrote some more notes on my historical novel idea. Managed to just push over the 300, again.

[tomakeanoffer]

Yaay ficlets! :D I'm super excited to know you are getting ideas for your thing. I kinda adore people making new things

[ysilme]

Yay for words for you, and I hope the writing plays out as you hope!
2087 words for me..

[tomakeanoffer]

What an awesome wordcount! Go you!

[shopfront]

Only scrounged half an hour to write but banged out a solid 500 words in that, so I'm crossing fingers the words keep flowing that easily and I can catch up my nano deficit quickly.

[tomakeanoffer]

Nice! Words are excellent, no matter how much there are.

[sylvanwitch]

Yay for more words, especially if they're of the tweaking kind. Sometimes that picayune little stuff is what turns a story into something really great, at least in my experience. :-)

My total word gain on the Loki/Thor story was 302 words, but as I spent a lot of time going through the first half of the story and taking things out, tweaking, etc, there may have been more words at some point.

[tomakeanoffer]

Yeah, definitely. <3 I love tweaking and making things better, rather than first drafting, honestly.

*pompoms!* Go you for getting words! That is awesome.

[trobadora]

About 100 words in longhand again. Tiny increments are better than nothing?

[tomakeanoffer]

Go you! Words are words and they are excellent.

[thefairymelusine]

Well done on getting to the 2000 word mark, it sounds like you are really on track.

I am probably not going to check in daily because I feel my brain can either do public accountability or treating things with really low stakes. But if it's okay to check in on and off, I will.

I got 1753 words on Nano done today, and about four or five pages in longhand finishing up a story I've been drafting.

[tomakeanoffer]

Absolutely okay to check in on and off! I'm terrible at checking in every day, honestly.

[teigh_corvus]

Day three had good prompts and I have good idea seeds that appeared, but it was a lot of heavy-lifting wordwise. I got 1334 on two prompts.

[tomakeanoffer]

Words can be super hard but go you for managing the thing nonetheless! <3
