FRIDAY CHECK-IN!!

[tryslora]

Have you reached the end of Friday in your time zone? Then it's time to check in! We're halfway through, which means you've been plenty productive, and still have loads of time to write! 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: Finished a mystery fic -- looking for a beta! :D
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? Well didn't work on the #1 priority fic so no.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? I am overwhelmed.

[drarryisgreen]

Update. Wrote 300 words during my lunch break. Win.

[tryslora]

Woohoo! Go you on words, though! Good luck on the beta, and on getting back to your #1 priority fic. Hopefully the overwhelmed feeling can be worked on too. :(

Projects Worked On: Finished all the little things, Next stop that bingo card and heat wave pinch hit.
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? All over the place baby
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? Wow for some reason didn't think I would break 1000.

[tryslora]

Excellent!

I thought about taking up a pinch hit for heat wave and talked myself out of it.

[witchyemerald.livejournal.com]

The one that just came up, I wanted to do also, but can't do 2 pitch hits by the 12th, and still do everything else.

I need a time turner.

[tryslora]

If I had a time turner, I'd get so much more done. Really, really I would. This technique of just not sleeping isn't actually good for me.

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. Not really, no.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? Life exploded in the middle of the day on Friday, stole my writing mojo and messed with my head. But plans for Saturday have been changed, and I may get more writing time out of it all. So yay? Also, let me go see if I can find a shareable snippet.

At first, he almost doesn’t notice her. There are a hundred people around him (okay, maybe thirty, it’s not really all that busy yet) and she’s just another well-dressed woman in the crowd. But she glances over and her eyes are just so damned blue and they remind him of something. Stiles is staring at her, puzzled, trying to think what that thing is, when he sees another woman approach.

The second woman touches the shoulder of the first, then touches her face. There is a soft cloud of something that Stiles thinks later he must have imagined, and the woman with the blue eyes crumples, falling in slow motion over the edge and onto the tracks.

[NOTE: I shall stop there. It's a rough opening scene for Stiles...]

[tryslora]

Woohoo! Go you! And I sympathise on the sudden expansion of length thing, having run into that myself. Best of luck making all the words!
