Total Word War Goal: 2,500
New Words Written: 510 on Erised + a 100 word drabble = 610
Total Words So Far: 610
Projects Worked On: Erised, draco100
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? Yeah, I'm making some plot progress on Erised. The drabble wasn't part of the plan, but it made for a nice distraction.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? *throws creativity dust*

Total Word War Goal: 2,500
New Words Written: 334
Total Words So Far: 334
Projects Worked On: The very beginnings of my musician!Draco AU.
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? No dialogue yet. Writing those 334 words in itself felt like a lifetime.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? I feel like the work is complete rubbish, save a few sentences, to be honest. I'm just so tired. I'm struggling with my setting, because I chose a London spot, and I'm from the states, so I feel out of my depth. I don't know if I should stick with it, or scrap it for something new. The whole fic began with an in medias res scene, anyway. I'm the type of writer who writes a sentence and then erases two words. Then three, then scraps the whole thing. I need to figure out how to at least get my thoughts out, then go back and edit later.

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? Some revision got done, still need to rework a whole paragraph and a couple of lines...
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? Butt-kicking please. I lost a whole day fiddling around with some software...

Total Word War Goal: 5-10k+
New Words Written: 1540, possibly more by the end of the night if I can get my mind away from the complete distraction of Yuri on Ice O_O
Total Words So Far: 1540
Projects Worked On: Erised
If You Set Other Goals, Are You Progressing? Yes, the plot has been moved along. I'm nearly finished with the current scene being worked on, I would like to get a bit more done on it tonight.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? Protip: Don't decide to binge watch Yuri on Ice episodes when you're in the middle of a good writing flow because it will distract you for 4 hours and you'll come out on the other end with a new ship?!

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?
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? I started writing a chapter. It sucked, so I went away and did a TKD class, then I came back and mostly rewrote the chapter. I would finish it, but my brain is going melty...

Projects Worked On: Erised, Other Random WIP I Should Not Have Been Working On But I Have No Self-Control
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! Erised is getting very close to finished. I'm at the point where I can see the light at the end of the tunnel on it.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? HOLY CRAP I MIGHT ACTUALLY TURN SOMETHING IN ON TIME FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE!!!
