Have you reached the end of Friday in your time zone? Then it's time to check in! We're heading into the weekend for the final stretch and still have some great writing time ahead! 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? Well, yesterday I made no words, so I guess so. I'm not particularly proud of what I've written though.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? I'm ridiculously unmotivated and I don't even know why D:

Awe, thank you ♥ I sure hope they're not as terrible as they seem! :)

Yay words! You're so very on track to meet your goal, which is wonderful. (And fwiw, I didn't make any words yesterday either. Still plenty of time to recoup.)

With you on the motivation and the not being especially proud. I think sometimes one just has to plow through? That may not be particularly helpful, but do remember that you can always edit.

But we'll write all the words today, because we're awesome like that! ♥

I agree, sometimes one just has to plough through. It's not particularly pleasant or motivating (I keep pulling my hair because what am I doing OMG? xD) But if it has to be done, then it has to be done :)

We will. We will write ALL THE WORDS. Because we're AWESOME.

It's so unpleasant and unmotivating, seriously omg. But it has to be done. And if you're hair pulling and need to vent, you can always hit me up, I'm doing the exact same thing.

*gasp* OMG I hope we won't both end up bald or something! xD

I find it hard to be really objective on what I write. Sometimes I find it's utter crap but when other people read it, they find it great! :P Try to get into the tone of the story and not put too much pressure on yourself! :D You can do it! :D

Haha! In all honesty, I always think it's complete shite xD It gets hits on Ao3, though, so I figure it can't be all that bad!

I'm not finished with my Friday contributions, but I did finish my Samhain Smut fic. All I need now is to have it betaed.

That's probably the quickest I've ever finished a story for a fest.

You're so on track to meet your goal, that's awesome! And a finished chapter! That's really amazing word-making, especially given all the chaos.

Yay, words!!! Well done! :D

And good luck for nasty people! :( I hope you'll soon be rid of them! :(

So many words! :D And congrats on finishing a thing! ♥

Total Word War Goal: 10k

Total Words So Far: 3571
Projects Worked On: today was all fest plotting and research
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? Eh. Plotting and research is usually super fun, but today I just wanted to write. Hopefully that'll stick around till tomorrow.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? So many things and they're all spoilers for anon fests. Umm. I'd like to know why people start setting of fireworks before it's dark out. Pep talks or butt-kicking wouldn't go amiss, either, especially if they're fun-rediscovery pep talks. Though it has gotten funner! Yay fun! *is tired* *coherence waning*

Well, you almost wrote 2k, which is great! And plotting will help you with the writing so it's all good! :D
You'll get more words tomorrow!!! :D

Thank you!! Working on it...it's not *that* many words to go....kind of.

I always wonder about that (the fireworks). They tend to start around 6pm here, it's light until 9... what's the point when you can't even see them? Isn't that a bit of a pointless waste? D:

And fun is important :) And I glad you made all those words! ♥ Almost 2k, that's a lot!

Right? Right? It seems like such a strange phenomenon. And wasteful. And LOUD.

It was alllll the chatzy room. Sigh. So slow. But I will make more words.

Nope, no small children. Just dogs. Dogs who just LOVED the explosions. People....I don't understand.

*butt kicked.* More writing, ahoy!

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'm way into the story now, so my new goal would be to reach the midpoint by the end of the word war! :P Not sure I can, but I'll try anyway! :P
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? Happy to have managed to start with the story. I'm still not completely sure about it, but at least I've started it! :D
