SATURDAY CHECK-IN!!

[tryslora]

Saturday's done already? Where is our weekend disappearing to? Don't worry, the weekend may be half done, 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? Yes! Finished the first part of the story and now trying to reach the midpoint before the end of the word war! :D
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? I just hope I won't stop writing the story after having been productive over the last few days because it does happen to me sometimes! I just start panicking for some reason and stop writing! :P

If You Set Other Goals, Are You Progressing? No
Anything To Share? Busier than expected both Friday and Saturday….Today isn’t going to be much better. I think I’ll revise my goal to a more achievable 500 words and a completed scene.

Wow, well on the way to four times your goal! CONGRATS! ♥

Go you! :D Keep at it! ♥

Thank you! :D

[sophie-french.livejournal.com]

Thank you! ♥ Draco in this story is really inspiring! I have great fun with him! (hopefully I won't be the only one because that would be a bit sad! :P)

[sophie-french.livejournal.com]

Well, sometimes RL gets in the way, but it's good if you still manage to write some words, even if it's not as many as you intended to! :)

[sophie-french.livejournal.com]

Yay!!! More words! Go you! :D

[sophie-french.livejournal.com]

Congrats for reaching your goal!!! And yay for getting somewhere! I'm sure this is going to be great! :D

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 went tubing! I haven't killed my camping neighbors! (Although I've been chronicling some of their exploits on tumblr)

Well, it's TW but here, have a snippet:

Stiles stops at a rest stop about halfway home, and climbs out to stretch. The girls head inside in a cluster, leaving Stiles alone with the unconscious teenage Derek and a very tired Jackson. He sighs, and resigns himself to the position of helping. “Do you need to pee? I can get you out of the car and into the—”

“I do not need your help to pee,” Jackson snarls. “If I needed your help—”

“You obviously needed my help to escape, but we’re not expecting anything for that, are we?” Stiles snaps back. “Have you even said thank you to Lydia? Your ex-girlfriend, love of your life, woman you abandoned when you took off for London… and speaking of that, what the fuck are you doing in Mexico? How did you get caught by hunters? And why the hell did they want us to rescue you?”

“They had me locked in a tiny room and haven’t fed me for a week!” Jackson shouts. “In what insane world is that wanting me to be rescued?”

ALSO! ONE MORE DAY! GO WORDS!! *shakes massive amounts of word fairy dust all over everyone!*

[tryslora]

Just keep writing every day! At this point it's been almost a week, and they say it takes what, ten days to start to establish a new habit? Keep writing every day and it'll keep you going, even if it's only a few words, or opening up and re-reading and fiddling with the old words. YOU CAN DO IT!

[tryslora]

Sometimes RL interferes, and you DID make some words despite that, which is fantastic. GO YOU for making words!!

[tryslora]

Excellent! Go you!

[tryslora]

Woohoo, you made goal! Go you!

[this-bloody-cat.livejournal.com]

Thank you! ♥ I hope so, I hope it won't be terrible! :D

[this-bloody-cat.livejournal.com]

Haha and all thanks to you! ♥

[tryslora]

Glad to help! I'm about to go get into the srs room and get my accountability posts for tumblr done, then start in on a rotation of words and archiving stuffs. If you're writing or arting this early, feel free to join!

[this-bloody-cat.livejournal.com]

I'll definitely drop by later today :) I need to get some cleaning done first, but I'd planned to spend the rest of my afternoon drawing ♥

[tryslora]

I should be back in there later, after we get home and I get the laundry started. Then I will spend the rest of the day doing laundry and making words, I hope!

[sophie-french.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for your support! ♥ I'm on vacation for two months now, so I should have time to write! :D

[tryslora]

Two months? Woohoo! I am a wee bit jealous. :) I'm just coming back from a one week vacation and am so sad to be back at my work desk. And you're welcome! Always glad to poke and prod folks into writing!
