Write Every Day: 25 November 02019

[silveradept]

Greetings! This is the Write Every Day Check-In Post for 25 November 02019.

It's the last week of November. (Well, yesterday started the last week of November, really, but if you start your workweek on Monday, usually...) It's also nice when you have people around who are able to offer their table to anyone who wants to be around other people for the Feast. It is the time of the year when it gets cold and dark quickly and it can feel like there aren't allies or others around who want to have your company. There are more than a few variations of the "Quote tweet this with your most controversial take on [Z topic]. I love [Z] controversies." going around, but the one that I've strongly considered using is "Quote tweet this with a self-compliment that your inner critic would find controversial, but you're choosing to believe it's true." Because that's the one where I don't need a hot take, but to actually think about something that I can choose to believe is true.

When people say things that are complimentary to me, they mean it, and it will not change upon learning about the "real" me, because that person they are complimenting is the real me.

I also suffered a small wardrobe malfunction today, as a garment that I had said I would wear until it tore made good on the threat it was making to come apart at the seams. It had a long and useful career as a covering. It has a couple of siblings that are still trying to hold on, but the next one that decides it's done with me will likely trigger me having to go purchase some more of them to make sure I have enough to get through a work week without having to do laundry.

In writing, I kept trying to set down and do a lot of writing, and I still got words in place, but there wasn't the extended session that I usually think of as "getting writing done," because there were other things to do today. I am perfectly fine with those things needing to get done, as I have nothing under deadline that needs to get written immediately.

Comments

[alexseanchai]

gave proper chapter titles to the bodyswap, added a couple lines to Emilie's return, beat my head against firelight and the deadliney stuff for a while

[silveradept]

That sounds productive.

[yasaman]

Day 25: super long day at work today, so after 564 words on the WIP, I'm calling it a night and heading to bed.

[silveradept]

Get some good sleep!

[umadoshi]

Farewell, good and long-serving garment!

449 words today. ^_^

[silveradept]

Yay for words, and that long-serving garment may be transformed into other things or used for fabric scrap, so it may have some life after being used as wear.

[bladespark]

I have written words. A halfway decent chunk, though of course that means it wasn't on anything I'm supposed to be working on.

[silveradept]

Sometimes we need to write on things for us, right?

[azurelunatic]

I got in an alibi paragraph.

[silveradept]

Hooray, alibis.

[china_shop]

Day 26: I fixed the end of my time travel fic #5 and posted it. \o/!! Only one and a half to go. :-D

[silveradept]

Yay! That's good.

[auroracloud]

Some novel words happened again! I was feeling better but rather busy getting done with things I didn't do on Sunday. But I did get my over 100 words of novel, at least.

[silveradept]

Huzzah for novel writing.

[sylvanwitch]

I was distracted by personal disaster yesterday, but I managed to edit the third of four fest fics. I didn't have the energy or focus to post it, but it's ready to go, and it's still well before the deadline, so I'll make it.

[silveradept]

Excellent editing.

[ysilme]

I think it's awesome that you managed to do anything writing-related at ALL under these circumstances! ***hugs tight***

[lferion]

Day 25 - 125 words, a little bit on Lamps, and a poem riffed off of the Mini-Wrimo image of the day.

[silveradept]

That sounds perspective.

[cornerofmadness]

I like your take on the tweet thing.

I got sick yesterday so somehow took that as an opportunity to write 3124 words (mostly because we did word wars at the write ins and I'm highly competitive)

[silveradept]

Hooray for word wars.

[cornerofmadness]

Big hooray. That took me over 40K

[sanguinity]

Nov. 25: got beta comments back on a story and revised accordingly.

[silveradept]

Excellent for revision.

[yantantether]

About 1300 words for me today, and I'm discovering all over again that I have a lot of feelings about this canon that I need to process through fic!

[silveradept]

That's one of the better ways to go about it, I understand.

[chanter1944]

A handful of sentences happened, mostly on one project. Young superhero people are being ridiculous, hilarious, and occasionally serious.

[silveradept]

That sounds like them, certainly.

[nafs]

Checking in for the twenty sixth (I said the month would eat me, I was not wrong). No new words but got back into the swing of things by trying a new way of organizing the various notes (document for character descriptions, document for the magic systems, document for the timeline, document for editing notes/questions, instead of it all being one jumbled mess called "timeline and notes") and I typed up a few pages of stuff from my notebook. Call it a win.

[silveradept]

Got it. And it sounds like progress to me.
