SUNDAY CHECK-IN!!

[tryslora]

Sunday's done already? Where did the weekend go? Don't worry, the weekend may be done, but there's still a whole week (and another weekend!) 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?progressing yes, feeling rather good about starting with chapter 2- problem is in my mind it sounds and feels awesome on paper... there is that c word that ends with b and only has 4 letters coming to mind *but i will go on, once i am done i can do the editing! *hopeful thinking here*
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)?thanks for all the butt kicking and encouragement - and please do not stop now- i am already in panic to miss the deadline

YOU CAN DO THIS!! Loads more writing time, and you will keep on until it is done.

Ugh, I know what you mean about the head vs. paper/doc issue. Still, words are words. :D

GO WORDS EVERYONE!!!

Wow, you've already surpassed your minimum WC goal. :D

[tryslora]

My real goal is the 20k. I was just worried that I wouldn't find time!

[lrthunder.livejournal.com]

You've met your minimum! Maybe you can get four times your maximum. ;) Way to go!

[tryslora]

I'm really hoping for 20k to 30k... it's my year end drive for words! To make up for all the times I didn't get them (like most of December...). Thanks!

[smirkingcat.livejournal.com]

i am sure you are going far beyond 20k this war
i feel it - in my pinky toe!
awesome you!
and i am sure you figure out the awkward part too!
you can do it!

[tryslora]

I'm hoping to hit 30k... I can't remember if I did during the war last year or not... I did write a 30k fic in like 12 days this time last year. One of my most popular TW fics, too.

I keep telling my husband if I didn't work, and could free up my brain, I could write a novel a month AND clean the house and actually make real dinners! Except, work is necessary because money. *sighs*
