Saturday's done already? Don't worry, the weekend may be half gone, but there's still one more day left in the weekend AND our word war! Why don't you check in and let us know how you're doing? 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?

Total Word War Goal: 8-12k
New Words Written: 4,673
Total Words So Far: 7,806
Projects Worked On: Sterek BB
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 story has reached the point where it is willing to write itself, but is unwilling to let me outline it.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? I am terrified that this story wants to grow up to become a novel. Why does this always happen? Anyway, let's find a snippet from this one...

“It’s a coincidence, Scott.”

“Sure, like your hot crush being the dead woman’s brother is a coincidence. How was lunch?”

“Awkward.” And Stiles sighs inwardly because as first not-dates go, it was pretty horrible. They’d gone to this diner, and Stiles and Cora sat on one bench in the booth with Derek and Peter on the other, and the entire time Stiles kept bumping Derek’s leg under the table (by accident), and Derek kept jerking it out of the way and giving him dark looks. “I think he thinks I’m stalking him. And it’s not like I could say oh hey, I think I saw this woman who might have killed your sister because that would have just cemented the idea that I’m completely nuts. So Derek glared at me, and Peter creeps me out because he looks at me like he could see through me. Cora’s nice, though. She stole my phone and gave me her number. Maybe I should just stalk her instead.”

“You aren’t actually stalking him, are you?”

“Dude! You know me better than that.”

“Yeah, exactly.”

Big word count and only 200 words away from your goal, you're going to walk this one in! I love the easy, natural feel to the banter in your snippet.

I need to make so many more words today. *whimpers* But thank you, yes. I got lucky yesterday morning, I really did. Now I need some time and some relaxation to do it again. And thank you! I love when the characters start pretty much writing things themselves, y'know?
