7. Do you have anything else to share? (snippets to share, flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, etc)
It feels brilliant, you know, to hang there in the air for the moments before you fall. Then that rush of the air coming out of your lungs when you plummet.

Get two full scenes written.
2. Will you be working on a single project or multiple projects today?
Single, as far as the writing's concerned.
3. How many new words have you written since your last check-in?
...I'm not sure how to calculate exactly (see my #7). I didn't write any words "yesterday" (period between waking and going to sleep for the evening), and everything I've written since I woke up today will still be calculated towards things written during "Day 3" (as it's only 1pm here). So...let's go with zero, sadly. ...Yesterday was kind of a crappy day, RL-wise.
4. How many total words have you written so far this week?
Besides ones still accumulating twds Day 3's totals, just the 6104 from Day 1.
5. What projects have you worked on?
Have written on long!fic. Have edited another fest fic of my own. Have beta'd someone else's fest fic.
6. Have you made any progress or had any pitfalls?
Not a damned word written yesterday, b/c of RL/work stuff. But Day 3 looks to be a much better showing!
7. Do you have anything else to share? (snippets to share, flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, etc)
...I'm not sure if we're counting each "day" as "time between check-in posts", or we're going off "local-midnight to local-midnight", or "whatever each participant's 'day' consists of", or if there's some other official time designated as the start and end of each day. Depending on which we are doing, my answers/progress towards goals changes drastically. So I'm just going to pick one, for my own check-ins/records. As such, it looks like today will be MUCH better than yesterday, though I'm still pretty damned far behind in my weekly goal of 30k!

I've been working on multiple projects.

787 words I think? + 434

I went to Writing Class today and edited what I had of my short story.
