FRIDAY CHECK-IN!!

[tryslora]

TGIF! Friday's ending and the weekend is about to being, and the best part is, you still have four more days to write all the words! 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? Yes. Progressing. Trying to find my focus and just plug on through turning my outline into fic.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? I've passed my first porn scene milestone. Now it's time to get all this plot stuff out so I can get to the next one!

[lordhellebore]

Almost halfway there! great! *shakes glittery pompoms*

[mab.livejournal.com]

thank you! *preens*

[tryslora]

Awesome!

[mab.livejournal.com]

[nia_kantorka]

Wow, you are in the flow.

Projects Worked On: Gift fic, older oneshot
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? Slowly getting there on the relationship progression
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? I'm pretty sure that everything I've come out with today is crap, but whatever. I did end up editing the hell out of an older oneshot that's been bugging me for about a year, so I'm taking that as constructive.

[lordhellebore]

Words are words! And editing is definitely constructive. Maybe tomorrow it will look less like crap to you? :)

[tryslora]

Excellent progress!

[nia_kantorka]

Sounds like good progress to me. And editing is always a good thing. You go!

[smallbrownfrog.livejournal.com]

Even crap writing is progress. Sometimes a first draft is rough, but getting those words out still matters. You can fix a first draft. What you can't fix is no words at all.

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? Slowly, but yeah. I wasn't satisfied with the frist scene and have it rewritten today. Like it much more now. And I've carried on a bit.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? I'm visiting a friend of mine tomorrow. Will be back late Sunday. I wish everyone good progress and ALL the words.

[lordhellebore]

Neat, you did it! \o/

[tryslora]

You've already hit goal, awesome!

[nia_kantorka]

Thank you. I set the goal low this time but I'm going to be relaxed on my short trip nonetheless. :)

[smallbrownfrog.livejournal.com]

Yay for a good first scene! :-)

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 SILENCIO HECK YES. and i'm making surprisingly good progress on harrybang
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? apparently having shit internet does wonders for my productivity.

[lordhellebore]

Oh, very cool, you reached your goal! :D

[tryslora]

You've already hit goal, woohoo! And congrats on getting to draft for Silencio.

[nia_kantorka]

Hell yes, internet is the worst distraction.
Congrats on finishing Silencio and beating your goal!

A day of rest is not a bad thing. May tomorrow be productive!

[nia_kantorka]

You go. Weekend could be a good time for writing.

[smallbrownfrog.livejournal.com]

There's lots of days for writing still.

Projects Worked On: TW RPE all the way
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? Posted another scene to my alpha. I seriously want to finish this fic by the end of the word war. *fingers crossed*
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? My writing time is about to plummet. Tomorrow we go to the garlic festival, Sunday we hang out and also make fire starters, Monday we go to a friend's place for a barbecue.... on the other hand, I'm getting a lot of knitting done. Tomorrow I start gussetting for the thumb on my handwarmers.

Also, GO WORDS! YOU ALL ROCK!

[nia_kantorka]

Trys, you are on holiday and got writing done. That's great. Enjoy your friends and the time off :D.

[smallbrownfrog.livejournal.com]

Garlic is important. Vampire attacks seriously mess with word creation. Best to be safe. ;-)

Congrats on all the new scene.

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? Nope
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? So far they're all cooperating with me, which is very good! I think my favorite part is when Oliver's teaching Harry how to dance an Irish jig and a reel - using James and Albus Severus to help him overcome this seemingly impossible task.

[nia_kantorka]

More than 12k and that's no progress? No way. And yay for the dancing. Can't wait for it. :)

[smallbrownfrog.livejournal.com]

Intriguing sounding story moment.

*cheers for all those amazing new words*
