My personal fannish corner

Writing:

For the first time last night, I didn't fall asleep but kept writing until shortly after midnight, resulting in a whopping 1300 words for the day. I keep a statistic. It's rare for me to write this much - my normal average is under 300.

But! They're out of jail now, yay! If you have been following my rambling commentary, you may be asking yourself if that means the sex was in jail? The answer is: yes, yes it was. *g* It's not flowing right yet, I will have to go over it a few more times. But the major work on the scene is done.

Two of you have mentioned writing timelines yesterday. How do you plan out your story? What tools do you use to map out plot, timelines, character arcs? I'm interested in finding out!

The "internet broke" last night, but luckily it's all working again now, so I can make the daily post. I was worried about that for a bit there last night.

I fell asleep before 10, again, and the morning session yesterday also didn't yield more than 300 words. It wasn't an hour, either.. ;/. I want to start writing that sex scene...!

We've found a new participant! Welcome, auroracloud!

Phew, the first day of vacation yesterday was mostly spent sleeping and lazing. I forgot how much I struggle when I have to sleep in a strange bed, so the night wasn't very comfortable. But the vacation is long and I'm sure I'll be used to it soon. Until then, writing in the mornings is out - I just want to go back to sleep.

Let's see if I manage to make some headway on the story tonight. How's your writing coming along?

Writing:

I managed to write 90 words last night before I was interrupted and had to set the story aside.

But it turns out I wasn't quite feeling well again, after all, because I just fell asleep at 10pm last night. Oi. The night seems to have helped, though, so now I feel well enough for my last day before the vacation. Vacation tomorrow, yay!

That also means that I won't be able to make my daily post in the morning, since I'll be en route and without internet until about 3 pm. I will post after I arrive.

ETA: I edited my last scene again, and sprinkled a few new sentences throughout. I couldn't concentrate on more today, being exhausted from packing and still not at 100% energy from my cold. I'm hoping I'll have time to write a bit while offline tomorrow.

How's your writing coming along?

I'm ill today, sneezing and sniffling around and generally feeling like crap. No wonder I couldn't concentrate last night. Not looking good for today's writing, and I'm not even sure I'll throw in an alibi sentence. I'd much rather get that cold behind me and sleep as much as possible.

How are you doing today?

ETA: I recovered enough to try writing before going to bed, and I added 300 words. I'm not sure they're going to be usable, but I'm happy I'm feeling better and managed something at all.

Welcome to this month's Write Every Day at my journal, everyone!

What is this all about?

I will be making one post a day where you can check in and let me know whether you've written anything that day. Feel free to discuss anything you like in the comment threads!

trobadora put it much better than I could here.

I am in the same time zone as trobadora, and I will try to make the posts in the morning, since that is when I usually write. Things might be a little different this month, since I am going on vacation, but that is my current plan, at least. I expect to have time in the evenings, too, to get back to you and do the tally every day.

Writing:

I didn't have time yesterday because we went to see the new Star Trek movie. I was so keyed up afterwards that I didn't manage to come down all night. Today will be a slog, and I don't hold out much hope for getting the scene written that I've been carrying in my head for two days. :/ But I might find the time for a nap and then I might be up for writing again after all tonight, who knows?

In case you're interested in what I'm writing: it's a Librarians story set in 1611, when they meet Shakespeare. The pairing is explicit Flynn/Eve/Moriarty threesome. It's about half done at 30K, and I've been working on it since January.

What about you? Let me know what you are working on, if you want! I have gleaned some of it during July's round, but I'd be happy to get a current status from you.

ETA: I indeed had a refreshing nap and managed almost 500 words tonight, yay!

Tally:

I don't even know who's participating, but I'm assuming everyone who friended me today will join ;)

I'm going to make a table tally, too, because I love tables. :D I'm planning to just make one table and update it every day, instead of copying it into every post. The (as of yet empty) table post is here.
