To check-in, please reply to this post using the template below:


We'll have a daily check-in post so you can track your progress. Please take a few moments to encourage your fellow writers! Cheering others on who have posted their updates, and they'll cheer you on. The best part about a GSD week is the supportive atmosphere! <3



100 / 10000 words. 1% done!
If you would like a fun little gadget to keep visible track of your word count, you can get a word meter here.


Also, remember our Chatzy rooms are available for support, comraderie, and mini word wars. The Chatzy rooms are available 24-7 for writing discussion and support: There's the regular HD Writers room and the SRS BZNS room for timed writing challenges and word wars. 18+

Also have mundane writing group tonight and must get my short story for publication critiqued.

4. How many total words have you written so far this week? 1,023

5. What projects have you worked on? harlequin, and readying my short story for critique

6. Have you made any progress or had any pitfalls? er... just didn't get as much time to write as I hoped yesterday!

7. Do you have anything else to share? (snippets to share, flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, etc) I shall be in srs later to write after work and before I'm off to have my words ripped apart by well-meaning authors! That's like... 4ish to 6ish pm Eastern time.

I feel sort of bad for laughing, but this keeps making my day, every time I see it! XD

Awesome job on the SPaG/editing -- that's a huge amount!!!

[identity profile] wantsunicorns.livejournal.com 2012-03-15 04:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks! I really just wanted to remove all temptation of working on it on my bday from my mind by finishing a huge-ass chunk right then and there!

*Squishes*

1. 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)

Write at least 2 full scenes.

2. Will you be working on a single project or multiple projects today?

Just one, today, as far as the writing goes. I'll also be editing 7k of someone else's fic.

3. How many new words have you written since your last check-in?

6,104 (all scene outlines, but I'm counting it, since it contains dialogue and narration that'll be c&p'd in later, and won't be double-counted).

4. How many total words have you written so far this week?

6,104

5. What projects have you worked on?

The long fic, mostly, though I also did final edits on another fic.

6. Have you made any progress or had any pitfalls?

My goals yesterday, and how I did:

1) Get at least 5 additional scenes plotted/outlined. I...um... actually plotted out SIXTEEN additional scenes--much more than the 5 I'd hoped! Also, that brings me to the end of the story! \o/
2) Write at least 2 of those scenes. Um... Nope. All that time was spent plotting the thousands of words I didn't expect to plot! I still consider it a HUGE amount of progress (also, I've basically removed the barriers of not knowing what comes next).
3) Get at least 5k of that 30k goal. Technically, yep!

7. Do you have anything else to share? (snippets to share, flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, etc) That's pretty much it. I won't have much time today, after work (MAYBE an hour or two, if I'm lucky), but I should have... 9 hours tomorrow, provided my back isn't even worse.

actually plotted out SIXTEEN additional scenes--much more than the 5 I'd hoped! - Totally Awesome!!

Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, etc.)?

I need to finish this short story before 3pm GMT Thursday!

1. 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)

Write out the scenes where my main character gets into trouble because he's responding to the bullying he's living through. Hoping that the story will cross over 3k at that point.

2. Will you be working on a single project or multiple projects today?

Multiple projects. I need to write a poem for Writing Class, finish two or three little assignments for Writing Class and then my short story.

3. How many new words have you written since your last check-in?

442 words. :S + the two short things I wrote in writing class, but I'll add that later when I've cleaned it up.

4. How many total words have you written so far this week?

442 words.

5. What projects have you worked on?

Short Story. + Assignments.

6. Have you made any progress or had any pitfalls?

I started reading fanfic last night, instead of writing. I did get those 400+ words out eventually before I went to bed though!

7. Do you have anything else to share? (snippets to share, flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, etc)

Translated last line I wrote in my Short Story. = "The excuse was lousy, but the teacher made no comment to it. She never did comment on their behavior."
It hurts so much to write this pain and injustice for my character...... :(
Hug him for me?
