SATURDAY CHECK-IN!!

[tryslora]

Saturday's done already? Where did the time go? Don't worry, the weekend's not over yet, AND there's still one more day left in 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?

Keep up the forward motion!! Me, I'm camping in srs today as much as I can.

I might show up after visit family member that up for the weekend.

[tryslora]

Maybe I will see you then!

If I'm silent, it just means my family (or laundry) has pulled me away, but I should keep going back. At this point, I have a ridiculous amount of things to accomplish in one day, and talking to myself in srs helps keep me honest and moving forward.

yep, it's the same with me and the kitchen timer. (well cell phone one now) If I set for 60 mins and race myself, I get more done than sitting and not have the clock ticketing away. I was just at the computer for 8 hours and did nothing but update posts and work on a post to be put up on Thursday. eye roll!

If You Set Other Goals, Are You Progressing? I wrote over my original 1k a day goal, but didn't quite reach my revised, i-only-have-two-days goal of 1.5k a day. :\
Anything To Share? A snippet of a conversation with no context. Enjoy.

“I thought you were trying to be healthy. Is there anything you won't eat?”

“Gooseberries. I realised that trying to be healthy while eating with you five or six times a week is impossible. Is there anything healthy you will eat?”

“What's wrong with gooseberries? I rather love them. And they're healthy. So there.” A pause, then, as an afterthought, “I eat salad.”

“Do you think salad on the side of a pizza or wrapped in bread with deep fried chicken is healthy? It's not. Gooseberries are too hairy; I don't want to put that in my mouth.”

[tryslora]

*snort* Cute snippet.

Best of luck with all the words on Sunday, and that's excellent progress for one day! I'll be hanging out in srs if you need a little push.

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 started outlining the remaining chapters of my WiP, and that's my first goal for Sunday morning is to get that outlined, then write a new chapter for it
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? Here, have a snippet from one of Friday's kiss ficlets:

“You won’t miss me as a roommate,” Lydia says, not looking at him. The path of the pen halts, but she doesn’t look up. “You only live with me because I’m your best friend at this school.”

“Is that what you think? I could’ve asked Scott. I could’ve asked Danny.”

“Scott would’ve had Allison over every night and it only made sense for them to move in together. And you would have hated every single one of Danny’s boyfriends.” Lydia finally looks up and Stiles can’t figure out what’s going on behind that calm Lydia mask. “I was the only sane, and safe, choice.”

“You are never safe.” The words slip out before he means them to, and she tilts her head, waiting. Stiles struggles to find the words. “I thought I loved you once,” he says slowly. “And I was wrong. Then you became my best friend, and I thought you couldn’t be more important to me, but every day… every day, Lydia… I realize just how much I need you in my life. Whatever that was in high school, it wasn’t love. I didn’t even know who you were, but now I do, and I can’t live without you.”

She is silent, head tilted, lips pursed in a small red bow. “Is that a declaration, Mr. Stilinski?” she finally asks.

“It’s something,” he replies.
