Is Saturday ending where you are? Then it's time to check in! One day gone, and you still have two more to write write write all the words! 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?

Projects Worked On: Heat Wave, WiP
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 am so close to the end of Heat Wave that I can see the finish line. Also, edited two chapters of the WiP into "ready to post" status, which is helpful.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)?
I am excited to post the next chapter of my WiP tomorrow. I am excited to hopefully finish Heat Wave tomorrow (of course, then I have to do a first pass edit before sending it off to beta *sighs*). I am thrilled with the number of words I wrote today and hope to come close to that tomorrow, too. Plus baking. I need to bake things. Lots of things. Gluten free things with little sugar so I can actually eat them!

Projects Worked On: fest fic (hopefully I'll get to one of the others tomorrow; some of it really ought to be touched before Monday)
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'm almost done with a REALLY important scene and finished another one that was pretty key! So I'm feeling pretty good about the progress so far.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? I'm going to keep writing into the wee hours of the morning, most likely, but wanted to check in before midnight :)

Projects Worked On: hp_porninthesun
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, to the progress, about 1/3 of what I wrote was the 'porn' that I needed... the rest was more feels.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? I underestimated what I needed to write to finish my fic, but I'm pleased to have so much new material and to have met my initial goal. Tomorrow I want to write some pervy porn!

Projects Worked On: beat the heat
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 am progressing. My other goal was to update daily for the ww.. so here I am meeting that.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? Why is it that the longer you work on a fic, the more you hate everything about it?
no subject
Date: 2013-06-09 08:13 pm (UTC)And that happens to me, too... I often hate what I'm writing by the end of it. I am no longer capable of telling whether something's even readable by the time it's done. I just finish them and let them happen.

Projects Worked On: Sherlock fic
If You Set Other Goals Are You Progressing? Well I've already not met my 1K per day goal, and clearly I haven't finished the chapter I'm on either.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? The guys are being really recalcitrant. They want to talk more than smush faces. This about says it all:
