Write Every Day: 23 August 02019
Aug. 23rd, 2019 07:57 pmGreetings! This is the Write Every Day Check-in post for 23 August 02019.
I posted a thing I had written over the last couple days today, somewhat unintentionally near the century-kudos mark for the first one in the series. The fact that I can say that work had hit nearly 100 kudos at the time I posted part two of the series says that the fandom in question is massive and numerous that they can spare a hundred kudos for me. (And says a lot about where the niches and spots are in the fandom that something like this work can collect 100 kudos.) Since posting it earlier in the day, the new work is already a quarter of the way to its own century mark, which is certainly something of its own. I think I keep underestimating how big the fandom is, and then it keeps reminding me by making works from a not-really-anything in the fandom collect more kudos than many of the other works I've done.
At this point is where I would usually tell someone else (including the other person in the fandom who is much more of a presence, given the personal land-speed records they have set for kudos accumulation on their work) that good writing shows through. I can remind myself that I've been at writing for a very long time, even if I'm relatively new to the fic department, and all that time and skill put to work doing other kinds of writing is relevant and has helped give me a solid base to write fic upon.
Not that it does much more than temporarily quiet the agitated brainweasel squadron, but temporary respite is still a good thing. The weasels also took a respite when a recipient commented on an exchange fic I'd left them and had good things to say about it. I was beginning to wonder I was about to go 0-for-2 on comments on exchange fics.
I also added words to an assignment, to the big WIP, and I went back over a draft with an eye to catching autocucumber, making a few corrections there as well.
( It's tally time! )
