1. What are your writing goals for the week? Still struggling to catch up and also to not hate every word I write!

2. What is your goal for the day? to write a decent sex scene for Draco/Albus and to finish a thing and to start another thing :D

3. Will you be working on a single project or multiple projects? Hopefully multiple for today. I have one thing I'm close to finishing and I want to start my next project!

4. Are you participating in any fests, exchanges or challenges?> Yes, still too many. But if I can at least start my [livejournal.com profile] hp_kinkfest today, then I'll feel much better!

5. Have you made any progress or had any pitfalls? I made progress yesterday when I completed my goal by finishing A THING! But my biggest pitfall at the moment is writing smut. It used to come easy to me but lately I just can't find the words!

6. Do you have any snippets to share? Everything I'm working on at the moment is anon XD

1. What are your writing goals for the week? (projects to finish, word counts, etc?)
In order of priority (for today, at least):
1) Finish other fandom bigbang
2) Write pinch-hit for fest
3) Challengefest fic
4) Other fest fics, if I have time

2. What is your goal for the day?
1) Get characters in BigBang fic to the point of the daydreaming-in-class scene I have planned (the scene two after the one I am currently writing).
2) Figure out general plot of pinch-hit

3. Will you be working on a single project or multiple projects?
Multiple

4. Are you participating in any fests, exchanges or challenges?
Always.

5. Have you made any progress or had any pitfalls?
Made decent progress last night. I wanted my characters to get to the point of going out for drinks at the bar, and by the time RL forced me to turn off the computer, the invite had been made, and they were arguing over where to drink. Close enough. RL definitely threw me some hurdles yesterday, but today will theoretically give me more writing time. Yesterday's word count: 2,113.

6. Do you have any snippets to share?
Sure, why not? From Inception fandom:

"I don't know," Arthur said, looking over at their other group member. Randall was poking at the turducken in front of him warily, as if at any moment, the chicken was going to back out and start ranting about the indignity of being shoved inside another bird. "Oh, here," Arthur sighed, handing him a bowl with some of the stuffing in it. "Here. Stuff that. Good and tight, but not so tight there's not room for it to move a bit." He flushed as Ariadne's small, unladylike snort made him realize exactly what he'd just said. Beside him, Emes grinned widely and opened his mouth. "Eames, don't you even say it, I'm warning you."

"Say what, Arthur?" He smirked as Arthur glared at him. "I was merely going to--"

"Yeah, I've got a pretty good idea. Just shut up."

"Oh, come on. How often does one get an opening to use such a good stuffing joke?"

Ariadne snorted again. "Opening. Good one."

"Oh my god, grow up, both of you." He tried not to laugh, turning and raising his arm to bury his face in the crook of his elbow to fake a cough when he lost that battle. When he looked up, it was to see Eames grinning at him, the look on his face clearly indicating he hadn't missed Arthur's laughter, though he didn't say anything.

I never hated you.

You thought I did, I know, and I meant you to believe that. It was simpler that way. And strangely, I reveled in the way your eyes followed me, taking comfort in the obsession our opposition formed. I hoped some day you'd see past it. See the truth.

You never did.

[identity profile] sara-holmes.livejournal.com 2012-01-24 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll be honest. I have written THREE WORDS. It was twenty-two, and then I edited. I need a major fail award. I blame flat-pack furniture.

4. Are you participating in any fests, exchanges or challenges? Kinkfest, Harry submits, Sceasleycest, daisychain, next gen, canon merlin, get lucky, draco tops harry and hg-lm ficexchange. AND NOW the sirius_black fest, wonderful. I also have a gift I need to finish.

6. Do you have any snippets to share? A still crappy beginning of the second chapter of a story I'm writing, all mistakes are my own mistakes since I have not sent it to my beta :P


She had no idea what to expect when they entered the mansion; maybe Voldemort or Bellatrix waiting for her, to torture her until she spilled her secrets. Thousands of thoughts passed through her mind, but the reality wasn’t as horrible as her thoughts.

When they finally entered the Mansion she was greeted by Mrs. Malfoy. Greeted was probably a strong word for it, she accepted Hermione, barely. Besides Mrs Malfoy stood a short and round woman that Hermione instantly recognized as Mrs. Malkin. It wasn’t difficult to see that none of them were in a good mood, not even the cheerful Mrs Malkin.

“Here you go darling,” Lucius said to his wife before pushing Hermione in front of him. Hermione had never felt less wanted when she saw the look on Mrs Malfoys face. Hermione didn’t care about attitude; it wasn’t like she wanted to be there.

1. What are your writing goals for the week? (projects to finish, word counts, etc?) My writing goals abruptly changed yesterday -- my best friend challenged me to finish my novel in 1.5 weeks in time to submit to the amazon breakthrough writers awards... My novel is currently 35k and will probably end up being 70k... I accepted this crazy challenge lol.

2. What is your goal for the day? Write 2 chapters... 8-10k

3. Will you be working on a single project or multiple projects? Just one today

4. Are you participating in any fests, exchanges or challenges? Yes, but they're all on the back burner

5. Have you made any progress or had any pitfalls? I got about 8k down yesterday and worked on fest's all day. Then finished a chapter of my novel last night

6. Do you have any snippets to share?

The roof was leaking.

Alex stared up at the water mark on the ceiling; she could barely even see it in the low light that protracted from a single light bulb. But there was no mistaking that steady drip of water that fell from the dirty roof and buried itself in the moth eaten carpet at her feet.

“Crap,” Alex breathed.

1. What are your writing goals for the week? (projects to finish, word counts, etc?) Reality check showed me, my goal should be "finish present timeline for [livejournal.com profile] hp_nextgen_fest fic and so it shall be. That'll be about just over half of that fic done then and there!
2. What is your goal for the day? I believe I said between 500 and 5000 words and I'm checking in with 4.900 words, so I'm feeling good about that!
3. Will you be working on a single project or multiple projects? Depends on the muse, right now there is no room for anything else anymore
4. Are you participating in any fests, exchanges or challenges? *points to question number 1*
5. Have you made any progress or had any pitfalls? I was going to write more, so I'd have more to check in tomorrow, but I realised had to finish plotting out this creature, before I could continue writing. So I did. 8 more blocks of scenes to write and then I should be done! With this part at least. Also this is edited in, because I'm totally anal about stuff like this, I wrote 1.5K of plotoutline for one of the time lines AND I will finish writing at least one of those scenes tonight, fuck work and the like, because I can see it very clearly inside my head.
6. Do you have any snippets to share? Still a "no" because of the evil "anon".
