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? Stop myself from making it more complicated that it needs to be - I don't want to give myself a plot that needs 1000s more words!
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? Yesterday's butt kicking helped, thanks ladies - I need poking this time ;-D

[tryslora]

Yay words! *pokes* More words for Saturday! :) Sometimes the stories just... get complicated... all on their own. I hope it comes around and you can get it done!

[swissmarg]

Sounds like you're off to a good start. Keep it up!

*pokepokepoke*

Good luck on keeping the word count down... i'm crap at that.

[tryslora]

Yay progress!!

[swissmarg]

Wow, you're already starting on the Harry Big Bang? Sounds like it's going to be a doozy!

[disapparater.livejournal.com]

Yay words! Yay progress!

[traintracks.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, I wrote NOTHING. LOL.

Tomorrow. ;-)

[tryslora]

Tomorrow!!

[swissmarg]

But perhaps you thought thinky thoughts? My most important writing time is actually probably thinking about what I'm going to write. Putting the words down is easy when you have a direction. Well, relatively... ;)

[disapparater.livejournal.com]

We've all been there. GOOD BUTT KICK LUCK!

[tryslora]

Wow, incredible start! Go you!

[swissmarg]

That's great, you have nearly half of your goal done on the first day! Keep it up!

[disapparater.livejournal.com]

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 finished the ficlet and posted it. No more words after that.

Saturday will be an awesome day for writing!! Laundry, cleaning, WRITING!!

[swissmarg]

Sweet, it's always a good feeling to get something posted.

[tryslora]

Yes, yes it is. Now on to the harder stuff, tho. *sighs*

[disapparater.livejournal.com]

Yay for finishing something. Now leave the house dirty and write!

[tryslora]

*laughs* Wish I could! Saturday is about laundry (because going to work naked is not good) and some cooking and ferrying kids around.

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? er, nope. Having a bit of a crisis with my fic right now so it's all very confused... :-/
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)?

[swissmarg]

That's great, you have half of your goal done! I know what you mean with things not quite coming together with the content, though. Hopefully you'll have a breakthrough after sleeping on it!

[sophie-french.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I did, and things are much clearer now in my head! It's still a bit confused, but I'm getting there! :)

[disapparater.livejournal.com]

Yay words! Good luck getting the confusion sorted out!

[sophie-french.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :)

[tryslora]

Awesome word count! I'm sure you will be able to unconfuse it. It may need more words than you thought to get it going in the right direction?

[sophie-french.livejournal.com]

Well no in fact! It's a long story but I don't really like what I have written so far (and I was near the end of it, and it was pretty long) and am considering rewriting the whole thing completely... :)

[tryslora]

Oh dear! That's a hard spot to be in (and i've been there). If you do it, you are better than I am!! I hate rewriting and editing, so I tend to let things go...

[sophie-french.livejournal.com]

Yes it is, but it's also exciting! Right now, I think I'm going to start afresh and maybe include some scenes from the abandoned one. Not sure yet but that's probably how it's all going to end up! :)

[dragontara]

Just jumped in and wrote the first sentence, yay!

Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? I really don't like what I've written. It's booooring. I pretty much wanted to delete it all, and maybe I will later on. I was trying to write a bridge section between two good scenes, and it's not really coming together. Bleurgh.

[disapparater.livejournal.com]

At you have words, though, even if you don't use them in the end ;)

[tryslora]

Sometimes the best bridge is a time jump, or just a quick paragraph. Sometimes there's stuff that needs to be filled in and expanded on... both ways work well, depending on the situation! Good luck figuring it out. And save those words; you may need them another time!

[swissmarg]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's going to end up on the cutting room floor. I only kept it so I'd have the words for yesterday. :p

[tryslora]

Awww. I hope today is a better day for you!

If You Set Other Goals, Are You Progressing? 3 out of 5 scenes written, but i still want to aim to write one a day, so i want to write at least 3 more.
Anything To Share? I feel crappy today. I don't want to do anything. How can i turn sulking into writing?

[tryslora]

You've made excellent progress. But if I knew how to change sulking into writing, I'd get a lot more done lately...

Projects Worked On: Finished one of my big bangs!
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? Finished one of my big bangs to be finished and now just need to finish the other one and start on my two HP fests.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? Super late checkin. I forgot. xD

[tryslora]

Yay for finishing the bang! And late check-ins are always fine. Writing's the thing!
