Date: 2012-03-12 02:07 pm (UTC)Finishing this particular potentially-epic fic would be nice, but isn't likely to happen by the 18th. I'd like to get to... at least the cut-short-by-realisation!celebration scene, but even that's pushing it. But I'm aiming super-high this week, so my word count goal is 30k!
2. What are your goals for the day? (word counts, get characters to hook up, find a way to work in some smut/angst/fluff, reach a certain plot point, whatever)
For today, let's go with:
1) Get at least 5 additional scenes plotted/outlined.
2) Write at least 2 of those scenes.
3) Get at least 5k of that 30k goal.
3. Will you be working on a single project or multiple projects?
For this round, just one is the goal. But I might pop into another fic!doc as a way to take a break from this particular one, before it kills me.
4. Are you participating in any fests, exchanges or challenges?
Yep. A couple. One's my primary focus, and another might be something I toy with when I need a break from the first.
5. Do you have anything else to share? (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, etc)
Sometimes, I just need an old-fashioned butt-kicking, or some prodding to make sure I'm on task. But I should theoretically have one person who will help me when I start to slack or get stuck (as she knows the fic quite well), as I will be providing the same service for her, on a fic of hers I know quite well!
Also, using an icon a friend made for me (based on something I said in a chat, once) for this, as it's oh-so appropriate!

2. What are your goals for the day? (word counts, get characters to hook up, find a way to work in some smut/angst/fluff, reach a certain plot point, whatever)
I just want to get something done a day. I don't care if it's a whole fic, or just a paragraph. As long as there's some words, I'll be happy! Maybe once I have smoochfest all planned out, I can set myself proper goals!
3. Will you be working on a single project or multiple projects?
Multiple
4. Are you participating in any fests, exchanges or challenges?
smoochfest ♥
5. Do you have anything else to share? (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, etc)
I'll take a boot up the arse please!

Date: 2012-03-12 02:24 pm (UTC)At least starting and getting somewhere to the middle of a prompt fic I've been wanting to write for over a year now. And maybe starting my HP/LotR crossover. No fixed word count - I just want to write.
2. What are your goals for the day? (word counts, get characters to hook up, find a way to work in some smut/angst/fluff, reach a certain plot point, whatever)
Writing a bit each day.
3. Will you be working on a single project or multiple projects?
One, maybe two fics.
4. Are you participating in any fests, exchanges or challenges?
No! :D This is just for me.
5. Do you have anything else to share? (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, etc)
I want writing to be fun - for me and all of you. Remember, this is FUN, not duty :)

Date: 2012-03-12 02:28 pm (UTC)2. What are your goals for the day? (word counts, get characters to hook up, find a way to work in some smut/angst/fluff, reach a certain plot point, whatever) For today? 2k worth of words to finish out Harlequin, plus putting faces to three characters in Bullies (yes, that's plotting, in my mind).
3. Will you be working on a single project or multiple projects? multiple
4. Are you participating in any fests, exchanges or challenges? harlequin, big bang mixup, h/d mpreg, rares
5. Do you have anything else to share? (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, etc) I think my original novel has started replotting itself? Which is in some ways wonderful, and in some ways absolutely heartbreaking because it means tossing a good 9k worth of words out the window. I'm keeping them in my annual count, because I DID write them, but they are going to be gone from the novel itself. Also, I will likely need plenty of poking to get things done this week, as the week looks utterly exhausting.

3. Will you be working on a single project or multiple projects?
Multiples as I never do singles it seems XD
4. Are you participating in any fests, exchanges or challenges?
All the fests. Well just four at the moment.
5. Do you have anything else to share? (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, etc)Not at this time, but if you're offering a striptease and a margarita would be nice XD

5. Do you have anything else to share? (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, etc) I have a friend coming to visit sometime this week, details unknown. As much as I want to tell her to go away so that I can write Drarry... I'm afraid it isn't quite the thing to do... So let's see if I can sneak off from time to time to write...

Date: 2012-03-12 06:11 pm (UTC)I need to finish writing my short story before Thursday. I have about 2.300 words now, and I need at least 1000-2000 more to make an end. It might even get longer. If I'm able to finish that by Thursday, I'll hopefully write some fic, either a Hp one, Klaine, or Tuck/FDR from 'This means war' :D
2. What are your goals for the day? (word counts, get characters to hook up, find a way to work in some smut/angst/fluff, reach a certain plot point, whatever)
My goal would be to finish out writing a scene where the lead character starts lashing out and the kids start to beat him up in return. Also, hopefully, I'll manage to write the next scene for the story.
3. Will you be working on a single project or multiple projects?
I'll be working on my short story and other assignments from my creative writing class. Hopefully, I'll have time later in the week to write some fic.
4. Are you participating in any fests, exchanges or challenges?
Nope, no time for fests and stuff. My creative writing class keeps me busy with things, and if I manage some time for something other, it's a short reaction fic or something like that. :D
5. Do you have anything else to share? (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, etc)
I can't believe I'm writing something original and that I have a deadline on it, and that I'll be turning it for a teacher. :S
I can always use a bit of butt-kicking. :D I'll be on srs-chat when I can. :D Good luck everybody else :D

(word counts, get characters to hook up, find a way to work in some smut/angst/fluff, reach a certain plot point, whatever) Probably working towards a scene in Mpreg that will be hilarious (I hope) and deciding which plot to use for daisychain.
3. Will you be working on a single project or multiple projects? Multiple projects. ^^
4. Are you participating in any fests, exchanges or challenges? Oh yes!
5. Do you have anything else to share? (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, etc) I would like a bit of butt kicking and pep talks please. I get extremely nervous when I write for H/D and sometimes it takes me the end of the week to finish or even start a fic with them. >< Any pep talks or butt kicking will be welcomed! :)

Date: 2012-03-12 08:00 pm (UTC)My daily goal is 500 words so that equals at least 3500 words for the week. Ideally I'd like to submit two fest fics this week and by the weekend be able to focus on something completely different.
2. What are your goals for the day? (word counts, get characters to hook up, find a way to work in some smut/angst/fluff, reach a certain plot point, whatever)
I'd like to figure out how to finalize my current profect and to remember how to write sex because apparently I've forgotten D:

Hmm, I'm wondering if there are any other insomniacs here that would want to do word wars late into that night as the seems to be the only time I get inspired? I'm going to force myself to write during the day. That is my main goal.
