Write Every Day: 01 November 02019
Nov. 1st, 2019 09:22 pmGreetings! This is the Write Every Day Check-In Post for 1 November 02019.
We're back! If you're not entirely sure what Write Every Day is, think of it as a traveling carnival of people who camp out at a different journal and do daily check-ins about what they've written that day. There's no minimum requirement, nor any insistence that you have to check in every day to continue. Come as you are, tell us what you've done, when you've done it, and if you have to take a day or two off, that's fine, too. Say as much or as little as you want about what you've been doing in writing today!
And it's National Novel Writing Month! More than a few of us are giving it a go to try and write 50,000 words in the thirty days afforded to November. That works out to an average daily word count of 1667 words every day. About an exchange fic and a half (generally, some of them have higher word counts than others) a day of writing. Editing definitely comes later in this regard in a lot of the advice afforded for NaNoWriMo.![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
starandrea offers some advice on how to win NaNoWriMo, which starts with not trying to write the book that's been in your head forever, but instead, a story that you just intend to write. And one that you don't have to share with anyone, so that way, you don't have to worry about making it good. It can be 50k of pure id-drawer-fic, and that's fine.

ushobwri will have an entire calendar's worth of prompts and things to help see if the words will keep coming. And, if you want to do something that's a smaller writing goal (minimum drabble, which is more than WED), there's mini_wrimo.
If you are engaging in other creative activities this month,teigh_corvus has opened St. Hap's Coffeehouse and Wayward Home For Plot Bunnies for those who would like a place to do check-ins that isn't here or is for other things than writing.
I am not participating in any official word-count Wri-Mo anything, but I will grab my pompoms and cheer the rest of you that are along the way. I have posts to write, prompts to fill, and soon enough, assignments on the way that will ask for my attention and writing. If I took into account all the words I've written just this year in fiction, I've already jumped my 50k yearly average (mostly thanks to two very long form works), so everything here is basically graaaaavy!
Today's writing includes doing a little more work on an assignment I've figured out the fandom and the eventual action for, but that I'm doing a lot of writing before they get to the action for exposition in the same style as the source material. They're not yet ready to move on to the action stage, so I'm waiting for them to feel like they've been briefed enough to go out into the field. So that'll help the word count of the eventual finished product.
Here's the tally so far:
( Rally-Ho! )
