Write Every Day: October 2023 Day 5

[kate]

Happy 5th of October, writers! I hope you are having a fantatic whenever and finding a way to get some words on this fine Thursday.

I am going to get mine later today, I hope - I'm going to reread one of my WIPs and see if I can start moving it along. What's going on in your writing world?

4 October — I have a complete draft of the fan Flashworks poem. It’s a sort-of sonnet, so 14 lines. This one is in Iambic septameter (7 feet).

[kate]

OOooh, neat! Congrats on completing a draft!

[china_shop]

5th: 1,340 words on the same fic. (I mean, it's developed, but whether it's any closer to an ending has yet to be determined...)

*cheers on your WIP*

[kate]

Woooo, great word count! We'll see about the WIP, here's hoping I actually get a few things down.

[regshoe]

Ooh, good luck with the WIP!

Day 5: Edited the second half of chapter 18.

[kate]

Thanks! I hope to get a little bit on the WIP tonight, we'll see.

Keeping on with the editing, congrats!!!

[alightbuthappypen]

Day 5: 170 words, again not bad considering the general circumstances. I'm hoping to get some more significant progress made at the weekend when I'm not so done in from work.

Good luck with your writing today, you can do it!

[kate]

I am 100% in the same boat, so congrats for getting ANY words out! I hope to do the same tonight!

[badly_knitted]

Hope you generated some words!

Oct 5th - 882 words, a challenge ficlet and some edits on a ficlet for posting.

[kate]

Still working on the words, but thanks for the encouragement, greatly appreciated!

Excellent wordcount, way to go!

[badly_knitted]

You'll get there! *\0/*

Thanks. I had only the faintest idea for the challenge, but managed to produce a longer fic than I expected.

[trobadora]

Day 5: alibi sentence again.

[kate]

Hey, words are words! Opening the doc counts, for real. <3

[sylvanwitch]

Good luck on your WIP! I hope it sparks something in you and words happen. :-)

On Day 5, I added 692 words to the outline.

[kate]

Thank you so much! Working on it!

That outline is getting beefy!

[silveradept]

Checking in for Days 1-5, progression in getting some drafts done and others moving in the right direction, away slope adventure pulling together some links and mustering the charge to send in the draft that's all same and waiting for me to hit send on it.

[kate]

Woo hoo, congrats! That's a whole week of words!

[silveradept]

I'm surprised you could get anything from that, with how much autocorrect lied to me about what word I wrote versus what word it displayed.

Drafts, yes, and pulling together links, and trying to get courage to send the piece that is ready, but for clicking the button.

[shadaras]

Day 5: 1k of words!

[kate]

Woooo, fantastic wordcount!

[yhlee]

Maybe around 500 words finalizing my pitch/presentation for a workshop, plus alibi paragraph on the linguistics space opera. :D

[kate]

Heyyyy, always with the multiple projects, very impressive! How long until the workshop?

[yhlee]

It's a month-long workshop (four sessions) but my presentation is Tuesday, during Week 2. After that, I have to have my screenplay thing completed to schedule a feedback session. It's fun but also a lot of work. XD

[china_shop]

6th: 2,032 words on the same ficlet. Things have developed, but the actual ending is still playing hard to get.

[kate]

Dang! Go you, that's great! That ending will get here eventually!

[sanguinity]

Oct 5: Alibi sentence.

[kate]

Hey, every little bit counts! Good job on keeping it up!

[cornerofmadness]

Even though I got 888 words on my spook_me story but I feel terribly behind on it

[kate]

888 words??? That's a) amazing and b) a FANTASTIC number. Hang in - I assume it's due end of month? YOU CAN DO IT! *\o/*

[cornerofmadness]

thanks. Yes it's due on the 26th

[yasaman]

Day 5: 303 words on my main WIP, and 1,660 on the new one!

[kate]

Holy cow, fantastic wordcount! Way to go!

[spikedluv]

Day 5: I've added some more words to a story I'd hand-written ages ago and just recently typed in. I'm planning to use it for smallfandombang. I did 750 words on a missing scene, which makes me happy.

(Also, it's been so long since I've done this that I can't recall if we need to go to the actual day when posting late, or just include it on the most recent post so I hope this is okay. o_O)

[kate]

Woo hoo, words! Way to go! :D

You can do either! It's probably easiest for me personally if you just put it on the most recent post, but either way works!
