Have you reached the end of Saturday in your time zone? Then it's time to check in! I bet you've been plenty productive, and don't worry, you 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?

Date: 2013-08-31 07:37 pm (UTC)New Words Written: I am really bad at this keep track thing - I think I only got 500-600 last night.
Total Words So Far: 2,100 ish.
Projects Worked On: I finished (and posted early—so if anyone wants my old date Sept 5th it's open) my adoptaprompt, I started planning interhouse-fest and hd_erised.
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? Ha ha, I am desperately avoiding that polyjuice fic. But I did get a great (at least I like it) idea for my hd_erised.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)?
Since I got to post it today, snippet from my adoptaprompt:
Harry jumped at the sound of Hermione’s voice as she came up beside him.
‘What are you doing here?’
‘Um, I was just reading this very interesting book...’
She gave the book a speculative look. ‘You’re reading about Goblin financial history?’
‘Is there something wrong with that?’
‘Plenty.’

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 but they are still not done having sex...
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? It's the never-ending sex scene. Which I'm sure no one minds, except this writer would quite like to get to sleep at some point, so I'm going to leave them in a fairly compromising position for a few hours and hopefully, hopefully be able to wrap it all up tomorrow. I actually have the epilogue written too, so it's literally a matter of getting them both to... erm... finish... and then I can send it to the beta readers.

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? my target was just to write, so yep.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? While I have been writing a lot, some of it consists of things like this:
[X has some inner monologue angsting about whether she loves Y or Z or neither of them, it's wrong to cheat on Y and they have been happy etc etc]

Projects Worked On: My WIP only yesterday.
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 got started on my glopmfest story on Friday, but I couldn't go on with it on Saturday. Too many distractions. But I'm hoping to make my Sunday and Monday count.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? I'm really like the daily check in. I like that it makes it focus on my writing and my progress instead of just doing what I can, when I can and never really being aware of my progress.

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'm just frustrated because everything's due and nothing wants to be written.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)?
I don't have anything decent to share. *sighs* I'm checking in late because i'm willing to admit to my sad Saturday wordcount now that Sunday is going better (somewhat). I still have a long way to go to meet goal!
