SATURDAY CHECK-IN!!

[tryslora]

Have you reached the end of Saturday 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? Got my one scene for the day written, which is an amazing achievement, given my mood.
Anything To Share? Need to be more cheerful tomorrow!

[swissmarg]

Sometimes good writing can come out of a bad mood too. I hope things go more smoothly for you today!

[disapparater.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I'm feeling better today, i just need to actually write...

[tryslora]

All words are awesome words, and I'm proud of you for pushing through and getting your scene done. GO YOU!

[disapparater.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

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! I finished the first draft of chapter one.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? I'm actually vaguely optimistic about this whole thing. Yay!

[disapparater.livejournal.com]

Yay optimism! You can do it!

[tryslora]

Excellent work!!

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 tiny human character likes my other character.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? It's slowed down now...

[disapparater.livejournal.com]

You're getting words written, though!

[tryslora]

You made progress, and that is awesome. Slow but steady will still get you there. Go you!

[traintracks.livejournal.com]

Okay, this is getting sort of ridiculous: nothing. I should have known I'd need a rest after writing something long. But, yeah, concepting! \o/ LOL!

[disapparater.livejournal.com]

Concepts are half the battle!

[tryslora]

I sat and stared at plot for a week. When I gave up on plot, I started writing and am now praying my brain will cough up a novel. Concepting phase is TOUGH!!!

If You Set Other Goals, Are You Progressing? I haven't finished it yet, but I've mostly set out the story. Just have to flesh it out.
Anything To Share? I need to finish this thing, dammit!

[disapparater.livejournal.com]

Good luck finishing!

[tryslora]

Excellent work! The fleshing out part is the fun bit. :) Go you!

Projects Worked On: Little Thief (original project)
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? Progress! Yes, we have that!
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? This is going a lot smoother than I thought it would... so it makes me think the last 4k words are going to be awful!

[disapparater.livejournal.com]

Awful words are still words, write them!

[swissmarg]

Those are some huge words for one day, way to go!

[tryslora]

Awesome, go you!

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? Going on really well considering that I'm a slow writer. I'm quite confident that I'll reach my other goal - finishing the fic - as well.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? Thank you for giving me the much needed kick in the butt, that definitely was a healthy one ;)

If You Set Other Goals, Are You Progressing? I didn't set any
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? I went back and re-read what I wrote yesterday and hated so much, and it actually wasn't as bad as I thought. :)

[disapparater.livejournal.com]

I'm glad it's going well, keep it up! :)

[tryslora]

Hah, I knew it wouldn't be as bad as you thought. :) Keep up the excellent work!

Projects Worked On: BAON
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 draft of the second chapter of BAON. I also failed utterly at plotting it.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)?

“Yeah, well, there are a couple of things you should know before you do.” The sound of typing stops, and Stiles imagines Danny’s expression going as serious as his tone. “TJ is adopted. I’m trying to get back through his records to see if there’s a link.”

“He told me that, and I’m guessing there’s a link. I’ll send you a picture if I can get one. It’s seriously like seeing Jackson with a smile, dude. Lydia calls it creepy.” Stiles bites his tongue just before he manages to let slip what else Lydia has said about TJ, because that’s unconfirmed and he’s not going to gossip to Danny.

“He also has a temper,” Danny says quietly. “I had to dig to get this, because it’s been sealed. Juvenile records, right? But when he was fifteen, he was accused of beating another kid senseless. The kid had a broken jaw, bruises, injuries that looked like he was stabbed, and he was burned. T. Jefferson Davis was acquitted because the defense showed that there was no way that he was physically capable of doing the kind of damage done in the time frame that the fight supposedly took place. The guy he beat up was four inches taller and a solid eighty pounds heavier, mostly muscle. If you look at it from the point of view of a jury and a lawyer, they were probably right. But if you look at it with a different point of view…”

He doesn’t need to finish that sentence.

“If you look at it from a different point of view, Jackson might not be the only one who ran into the supernatural,” Stiles says quietly. “Burns, Danny? What the hell does that?”

YAY WORDS! (Pity none of them are bacon :P)

[tryslora]

*laughs* Nope, no bacon, but there's good food somewhere along the way in the story. *grins*

[disapparater.livejournal.com]

Hurrah for words! Keep going!

[tryslora]

Halfway there! Perfect progress is perfect. :) Good luck on the rest of it!

[inspired-being.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I will save that luck for a later date because I realised the fic needs to be bigger than I wanted it to be and I need to turn my attention to my RBB which will probably end up balloning too, so I'm gunna need the time for it

[inspired-being.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, the fleshing will have to wait for a later date. It wants to be too big for me to finish properly and RBB needs my attention now
