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+


(Sorry for the delay on the check-in post! Had a bit of internet connection problems.)

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.
