TUESDAY CHECK-IN!!

[tryslora]

Tuesday's over and we've been writing for four days, 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?

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'm a bit stuck in my plot and have decisions to make but I'm getting there! :)

Getting there is good, you've written so many words!

Anything To Share? Daily inspiration (my first comment was marked as spam, i assume because of the image source, so have this one instead):

[dicta-contrion.livejournal.com]

You found time to write words! Go you!!

[disapparater.livejournal.com]

Yep. About 10 minutes before checking in and going to bed. Still, words!

[dicta-contrion.livejournal.com]

Still words, and at an awesome pace. Mine took way longer. You + writing = ftw.

[swissmarg]

LJ's spam filters are sometimes pretty dumb... I've been enjoying your inspirational images, thanks for those. And good work on your progress toward your goal. Almost there, home stretch, pull out those stops!

[disapparater.livejournal.com]

Thank you muchly! I'm glad you've like the daily inspirations :)

If You Set Other Goals Are You Progressing? I have made great progress on the fic, and I'm at the point I hoped to be at, so that's good. But I still need to contact potential pre readers/betas. I always feel like I'm imposing when I ask, because my English isn't good enough for me to return the favour.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? I really hope I'll have time for writing tomorrow. But if not, this ww was still a success for me. I made a lot of progress on the big bang fic, and my writing is flowing.

[disapparater.livejournal.com]

Hey yeah it was a success, you smashed your goal!

[swissmarg]

That's great, congratulations on getting your goal already!

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 need to find a way to get Draco out of that one place withput making it drag for pages. Hence, the constant rewriting. :(
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? can I request a serious butt kicking? I need something to kickstart my brain! Also, woohoo for people reaching their goals!

[disapparater.livejournal.com]

I recommend writing a short, but really silly scenario for what you're stuck on. Don't take it seriously, just go a little nuts. You won't use it, but you'll be surprised what other ideas you might get while letting your writing get a little less constricted :)

Also: *looks serious* *kicks butt*

[swissmarg]

Apparition is a quick way out of many a fix. ;) You're well on your way with your goal, you can totally get this!

Projects Worked On: Hurtfest. So much hurtfest.
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 the old goals are just getting replaced with new goals. Still going to try to shoot for 8k...fingers crossed for a productive last day.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? Wouldn't say no if anyone has a potion for speed-writing or plot-trimming.

[disapparater.livejournal.com]

Yay words! I hope your Wednesday is successful.
For speed-writing i recommend alcohol. Or just not thinking as much; just letting your fingers get on with it, regardless of what gets written (that's why editing exists!).
For plot trimming... take out everything but the elves.

[dicta-contrion.livejournal.com]

Alcohol + not thinking tend to go together. Real talk: I've cracked open a bottle of wine, I've got 8 hours left, and we're gonna see what can be done.

Everything but the elves:

COCK was weeping all over his knee.
Draco shook COCK off his leg.
Draco held the towel over COCK's head
COCK buried his head between his knees
"I've dispatched that damnable COCK."
COCK rocked back and forth slowly, twisting his ears.
"Never mind about COCK, the floo's that way."

Halfway to a masterpiece, here.

[disapparater.livejournal.com]

That's a lot of COCK.

There was not one sentence of that masterpiece i did not enjoy.

I look forward to what you come up with on wine!

[dicta-contrion.livejournal.com]

Glad to hear it! Lots of COCK is kind of the mission.

Thanks! It'll be...interesting.

[swissmarg]

Great work, keep it up!

[dicta-contrion.livejournal.com]

Thank you!! 8 hours left...fingers crossed!

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? It's been a long day.

[disapparater.livejournal.com]

I know that long-day feeling. But you still wrote! That fact is more significant that how many words you wrote.

[swissmarg]

Excellent, you're almost there, you can do it!

If You Set Other Goals, Are You Progressing? A tiny bit… not going in the direction I originally intended, but I think it is better to let the words/story come out as naturally as possible
Anything To Share? Given I’m going to be working pretty much all day and night tomorrow, I’m doubting I’m going to initial goal, but if I can possibly make it to the end of scene I’m working on, I think I will be happy. Just need to keep the adding some words each day!
