Monday Resources XI

[smirkingcat.livejournal.com]

so it is august!
hd_hurtfest writers are on their way hd_erised participants got their asingment yesterday - and did you folks see the excitement about that? and the hd_owlpost creaters and those who want to be have still a chance to sign-up till 21.8. and slythindor100 25 days of harry and draco on the horizon (the far far horizon but as we are talking about dezember it has to be named!)
and -never to forget which i did and i apologize for- the amazing contestants at the H/D LDWS also at slythindor100 are striving to dish out a next amazing round, which makes it impossible to vote for!
with so many things going on in the hd-coiner of fandom alone (not even mentioning hp_drizzle, interhouse_fest, hp_nextgen_fest, hp_creatures, hp_shoreofangst)
i bring you some resources again! may the be of use to you!

• so for the first entry, i though it might be helpful to remind us how many words we can get down in one day- if we really want to; so here is an article about How to write 10k words in a day. i found it really motivating and while the tips sound familiar it helped to reread them and bring them to the front of my mind again, as to not forget them
  as a bonus here is a longer version that has some more tips and revoles more about time management in the long run, i find some of them encouraging others where just meh, so this is really rather an option not a you absolutely have to check it out



• next i want to introduce you to the writing department from 'tales of wonderland' if you did not know it before. i have not yet read it all, but what i checked out and saw when i skimmed through seemed pretty useful- if you know the page any thoughts on it?



• and last but not least i have some food for thought for you and how your opening shall foreshadow your ending - its a true short read but also give the comments a try some of them are really good! and yes i agree with one of them pointing out that this trick works especially well with mystery novels
  

*drags a mountain of mojo in the room*
i also wish you all the inspiration you need to get started or get stuff done!
and remember: all words are good words!


do you want more tips on one certain topic that i so far completely ignored? (i am posting here what catches my fancy in hope to motivate you to get words down- so if you have something you need to know or read or be motivated on, let me know and i shall dig around the net trying to find something for you)
do you have a tip you want to share, but are thinking: "meh"- just pm me or write me a mail smirkingcat[at] yandex. com and i shall check it out and include it in a future post [with your name or without it]
