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?

If You Set Other Goals, Are You Progressing? No, I'm such a putz.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? I was so psyched by my big words on the first day that I thought I'd have lots of time to whip out 800 words yesterday and hit my goal, but all of a sudden it was dinner time and then I opted for spending time with my kids until bedtime, and then my husband was watching Vertigo so I sat in on that for a while and then I didn't have any mojo left and went to bed. Boo me! Goes to show what procrastination will get you. I don't have that great hopes for today either, since THREE big fics I've been waiting to finish just posted their final chapters last night, so I now have those breathing down my neck to be read. HALP!

[tryslora]

That happens to me ALL THE TIME. I suddenly realize I'm on the couch with the husband and the TV is on and I'm not getting any words done and then poof, my brain is melting and it's bedtime. Best of luck finding time for the words again!!

Writing and camping do not always go well together. At least not on move-in day.
