Projects Worked On: Another fic than that fest fic I'd planned.
If You Set Other Goals, Are You Progressing? Yeah. Not gone insane (yet), not dropped out. Not sure about writing utter crap ;)
Anything To Share? Sometimes, you need to take a break from a fic to get into it again.

[tryslora]

Don't worry about whether it's good or not, just keep writing! You're doing amazing, and I'm impressed by your word count. Go you!!

"Holy shit!" That's Charlie's voice, Harry thinks to himself, staring up at the shadows on the ceiling and longing to slip inside them and disappear. "Teddy can suck his own cock! Bill, come here; you've got to see this!"

And those words seem to be the magic ones. Harry's cock stirs beneath the sheets, the first sign of life its had in weeks. What the hell are they doing out there? His mind reels. Thoughts of Teddy, young and vibrant, his skin tanned bronze from the desert sun, his hair his favourite shade of turquoise, bending over and doing that! This is something Harry has got to see.

If You Set Other Goals (get characters to hook up, find a way to work in some smut/angst/fluff, reach a certain plot point, whatever), Are You Progressing? The sex finally happened. 6,000 words into the story, LOL (the whole thing is almost 11,000 at this point). I'm entering the final act!
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? I'm hungry, tired, out for the night. Peace, y'all!

[tryslora]

Damn... sometimes your wordcount scares me! I am IMPRESSED!!

[traintracks.livejournal.com]

Projects Worked On: Smoochfest, Outline for HP_Owned
If You Set Other Goals (get characters to hook up, find a way to work in some smut/angst/fluff, reach a certain plot point, whatever), Are You Progressing? YES. I actually finished the first draft of Smoochfest, which I didn't think I would do this early in the week. Now I can edit/expand the parts I glossed over and get it to my beta.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? I hope this feeling of accomplishment lasts!

[tryslora]

Woohoo! That's an awesome start to the war! Congratulations on the draft of smooch (I might be a wee bit envious *grins*).

New Words Written: 1,816
Total Words So Far: 1,816
Projects Worked On: The only one I've got going, a Sherlock fic
If You Set Other Goals Are You Progressing? Not really. I still keep distracting myself.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? I'm not allowing carryover for my daily goals. That means the extra 816 words from yesterday don't count for today. I need to write at least 1,000 words every day. Otherwise I will just get lazy again. I need to get into good writing habits, not binge-writing.

[tryslora]

Excellent job, and I know you can keep the consistency. Best of luck!

[swissmarg]

Thank you, I appreciate your encouragement and comments, it really helps. :)

[tryslora]

I'm glad they help! I wish I could be more timely in responding to things! I just want to spread all the good writing energy around.

If You Set Other Goals (get characters to hook up, find a way to work in some smut/angst/fluff, reach a certain plot point, whatever), Are You Progressing? Oops I didn't really set goals but I have lots of them and they are progressing slowly but surely XD
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? YAY FOR FIC FINISHED AND POSTED \o/

[tryslora]

Yay for new fic and new fandom! Go you!

If You Set Other Goals (get characters to hook up, find a way to work in some smut/angst/fluff, reach a certain plot point, whatever), Are You Progressing? Get through this bloody scene to get to the fun bit.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? Thank you for random guilting, kitty-fic! :D

Projects Worked On: ficlets for mating_games this week
If You Set Other Goals (get characters to hook up, find a way to work in some smut/angst/fluff, reach a certain plot point, whatever), Are You Progressing? finished and posted my bonus ficlet for this week, finished two options for the main entry and submitted one and posted the other to AO3 etc.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? Thank you so much to the lovely folks of chatzy for keeping me sane. Also, this was my week to try humor in the Teen Wolf world, between omega!Stiles singing karaoke while in heat, and Stiles texting Scott while having sex with Derek... No teasers, sorry... nothing's really all ages appropriate!

If You Set Other Goals (get characters to hook up, find a way to work in some smut/angst/fluff, reach a certain plot point, whatever), Are You Progressing? yes! I've never had such a complex outline.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? A baby migraine to start the day seemed kind of unlucky, but considering it could have been a full-blown migraine, I think I'll just be grateful that I managed to write.

[tryslora]

I'm glad it didn't turn into the full blown migraine! All forms of migraine suck. Congrats on the words written!
