Is Thursday over already for you? Then it's time to check in! Two days down now, and you still have five more wonderful days of writing. Don't forget to pace yourself! Intermediary check-ins are completely optional, but if you want some extra encouragement come and tell us how you are doing and encourage your fellow writers also!

Remember you can always find encouragement here, in the chatroom or in Serious Business Writing Room.

It's not too late to join in the war! Just check in at the original post right here.

So... how's it going so far?

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? I've not managed to write lots of words but I think I can tentatively say that I've finished hobbitstale .... it's gone to my beta's at least.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? One down, five to go!!

[tryslora]

YOUR BRAIN NEEDS A BREAK!! Seriously, getting the cleansing done is good. Now settle yourself in and get writing. I know you can do it. I have faith.

You're getting there, word by word, and sleep is a GOOD THING (see my tumblr for a commentary on writers and sleep *grins*).

Total Word War Goal: 10k
New Words Written: 1497
Total Words So Far: 3186
Projects Worked On: added a little to smooch, editing 4 chapters of WiP, and drafted my fullmoon ficlet
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? Um. I guess?
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? Sure, have a snippet. It's not very good.

On days like this, Danny is the only one willing to approach Derek. Scott throws him an apologetic look, then returns to whatever video game he is playing with Isaac. Boyd wisely left as soon as dinner was done, and Lydia shoos Danny from where her books are spread over the kitchen table while she studies.

“He’s impossible,” she says. “And if you don’t do something about it, he’ll sulk audibly all night.”

Danny would say she’s exaggerating, but she’s not. Ever since Derek started digging through the CDs he found throughout the Stilinski house, his moods have had soundtracks. He winces as he hears the familiar strains of My Chemical Romance starting.

Total Words So Far:6975
Projects Worked On: Random Findings (PWP)
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? Nope, not yet. I am still working on getting into Luna's head.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)?I think my beta may fire me soon. She isn't used to me sending her work every day anymore.

[tryslora]

Congratulations on making all the words! And ooh, Luna. I love her.

[cyn-ful.livejournal.com]

thank you, thank you. I love Luna - my issue is just getting into her head.

Total Word War Goal: 1K/day
New Words Written: ca. 1,200 (don't want to start up my laptop right now to get the exact number, I'll fill it in later)
Total Words So Far: ca. 3,000
Projects Worked On: The only one I've got going, a Sherlock fic
If You Set Other Goals Are You Progressing? Sort of... I have found a way to force myself to stay put by physically blocking myself in... handcuffing myself to the chair would probably be the next step.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? I really, really was psyched up to write more yesterday, but I ended up having more RL stuff to take care of than I thought I would. So although I did meet my stated goal for the day, I feel like I could have done more.

[tryslora]

I recommend leg cuffs; handcuffs make it hard to type. *grins*

That's how writing goes, sometimes... RL intrudes. You made words, you were consistent, and that's all that matters. GO YOU!! 1k a day is actually an amazing pace. Think how many words you'd write in a year if you kept it up all the time!

I totally missed this comment, I'm sorry! Is that point where it's like... I can SEE the good parts coming... so frustrating sometimes?? You will get there! Congratulations on keeping up an awesome wordcount.
