SUNDAY CHECK-IN!!

[tryslora]

Sunday's done already? Where did the weekend go? Don't worry, the weekend may be done, but 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?

Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? I'm probably still going to fiddle with the last two chapters because I don't quite like the rhythm of some things, but basically this turkey is roasted and toasted! I could absolutely not have done it without you, tryslora and these word wars. So thank you, thanks to everyone else who participated and gave me something to work for, and if anyone is interested, this will hopefully begin posting soon(ish) under the title 'The Baker Street Nativity'. Keep on writing!

WOW congratulations!!! Well done you!!

*stares in awe!*

[swissmarg]

Thank you, I can't believe it either!

[emansil-12.livejournal.com]

Holy crap! That's a lot of words. Excellent!!

[swissmarg]

Thanks!

[tryslora]

*dances you around* Congratulations!!! I'm so SO glad the word wars helped. You have been amazingly consistent with your writing and I am amazed at your progress during this war. Awesome job!!

[swissmarg]

Thank you, and again, entirely due to these regular pushes.

[tryslora]

I am really REALLY glad they helped. I kind of got started running them in part because I was looking for writing energy while I was planning on pushing myself, and I'm thrilled to share that!

Total Words So Far:3300
Projects Worked On: One personal prompt from June, and one follow up dark fic from several years ago, plus a few drabbles lost along the way.
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 I seem to be doing more restarting than finishing. I'd hoped to have some things completed.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)?

[tryslora]

Awesome progress! Even if you haven't finished a thing, you are very close to your word goal. Sometimes your brain just needs a bit of palette cleansing writing.

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? Didn't have much of a goal, just wanted to finish.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? My sleep pattern is f--d up. :(

[tryslora]

You are killing your word goal! But OUCH on the sleep pattern. :( Hopefully you can reset that?

[emansil-12.livejournal.com]

Go you! Great for posting. Doesn't it feel good to have one thing marked off the "to do:" list?

Total Words So Far: 5620 (so close!)
Projects Worked On: Glompfest
If You Set Other Goals, Are You Progressing? Yes! I feel like I have so much more direction now thanks to Mab's help yesterday. I'm adding depth as well as length (or so I like to think).
Anything To Share? Um, I love Word Wars? It so helpful to have an intense writing period that is not caused by a deadline breathing down my neck.

[tryslora]

So close!!! You can do it. I'll see if I can get some time in srs today. If internet cooperates... we're still camping but it's also pouring out which means once the rest of the world wakes up they might steal the minimal internet from me. :(

Total Word War Goal: 5000 words
New Words Written: 522 words
Total Words So Far: 3,525 words
Projects Worked On: I did some writing for my WIP and a drabble for hd_writers.
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?
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? 1,500 words to do and one day to do it in. Entirely possible though. My guests have left and it's a Monday which for a stay-at-home mom is the best day of the week workwise.

[tryslora]

Woohoo! You can do it! Stop by the srs room today if you want some company and some timed word sprints while you're working.

Total Word War Goal: 8k

Total Words So Far: 7,506
Projects Worked On: 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 wrote last week's chapter for my WiP finally (thankfully I have a buffer). The part where it's almost double the normal length kind of slowed me down a bit.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? Have a snippet!

“You need a break.” Lydia touches his shoulder lightly. “You can’t keep burning the candle at both ends. Go upstairs, lie down. We’ll take Molly into the basement for a movie night.”

Stiles looks up and blinks at her. “My room’s on this floor,” he points out, which he’s sure she should know, since technically it’s her room.

Lydia glances at the rest of the pack, who decide to all start talking at once. Scott picks up Molly and tosses her in the air while she laughs, then passes her off to Isaac to do the same. They leave the room swinging her between them, her giggles high-pitched and gleeful.

It only takes a moment to empty the room, everyone except for Lydia and Derek disappearing into the basement. “Go upstairs,” she repeats, then turns with a toss of her head and follows the others downstairs.

Derek glances at Stiles, who starts to protest, falling silent when Derek raises one eyebrow. “Oh,” Stiles says. “Oh.”
