Write Every Day: October 2023 Day 13

[kate]

Friday the 13th! :D :D :D Happy lucky day, to those of you with lucky number 13. I'm not a huge horror fan, but I do watch things now and again (my little sister is a MASSIVE horror fan and I get nommed to be her +1 to things). Thinking about watching The Haunting of Hill House for Halloweeny vibes. Anyone got any other recs?

(Words? What words, lol. Maybe someday, but not today.)

Happy Friday the 13th!

13th: 808 words on the sex scene that will never end, plus I finished and posted my rewatch post. :-)

[kate]

Hahahaha I like a nice, lengthy sex scene! Good luck getting to the end of it, and congrats on getting your post up!

[ysilme]

Happy Friday 13th indeed! XD

Day 12: a bit over 1k, part nostalgia project and part first rough draft for a fannish exchange story.

[kate]

Nice, excellent count!

[lferion]

12 October -- managed a tad over 100 words on the innumerable stars piece. Right now I am not terribly happy with it. It has not quite gelled, and I'm not at all sure what to do about it. Muddle forward I guess.

[kate]

Sounds about right! Perhaps it is just "shitty rough draft" territory, getting something down so you can edit later?

[spikedluv]

I added 600 more words to my fic! I've reached the minimum word count for the challenge and have one more scene planned before I can give the whole thing a read over and make sure it flows smoothly, since I'm adding scenes in the middle. And maybe I'll want to add more scenes to flesh it out once I'm not worried about the word count.

[kate]

Way to go!!! Good luck with the fleshing out part!

[sanguinity]

Oct 13: Traveling to a wedding this afternoon, but 300 words before packing and heading out.

[kate]

Strong work getting those words in! Hope the wedding was lovely!

[badly_knitted]

I don't watch or read much horror these days, but I still write it at this time of year.

Oct 13th - 1193 words, a 1k challenge fic, and some work on a fic for posting.

[kate]

Oh, that's an excellent count for the day, congrats!

[badly_knitted]

Thanks!

[regshoe]

I recently read (and have not quite yet got round to reviewing) D. K. Broster's excellent collection of short horror stories Couching at the Door—not quite timed for Halloween, but I suppose it's the general season :D

Day 13: More editing and HTML coding. Uploaded the prologue as a draft on AO3; I hope to post it tomorrow as a sort of preview.

[kate]

Wow, great productive day, congrats! And thank you for the rec!

[luzula]

Day 13: Some editing on the werewolf fic and two emails to beta readers.

[kate]

Excellent writing day, congrats!

[sylvanwitch]

The Haunting of Hill House is one of my favorites. I'm also a big fan of The Exorcist and The Shining.

Day 13 was very long, and I have had a headache for most of it, so I only managed 313 words of the novel.

[kate]

Sorry to hear about the headache! Good job still getting words!

Those are both faves of mine as well!

[china_shop]

14th: 1310 words. I finally finished the sex scene! \o/! Just need to write a coda. :-)

[kate]

Congrats! Sorry my post was too late to catch you today. Good luck on the coda!

[yhlee]

Happy Friday the 13th!

Day 13: alibi paragraph on whump thing, completed revised outline for screenplay thing.

[kate]

Excellent multi-tasking, congrats on your words and progress!

[chanter1944]

Tagging in for days 12 and 13.

A paragraph, word count not tracked exactly, for day 12.

250 words, give or take, for day 13 so far. :)

[kate]

Great job keeping on! Every little bit adds up!

[cornerofmadness]

Honestly the original poltergeist is one of my favorites (oddly I just saw Tremors on a horror list but I don't see it as horror but I do love it)

970 words today on my spook me so yay

[kate]

Oooh, the original poltergeist is really good, that's an excellent rec.

Contrats on the great wordcount!

[cornerofmadness]

thanks

[yasaman]

Day 13: edited and finished the side WIP with 2,824 words, plus 210 words on the main WIP!

[kate]

Fantastic work, great count and a finished story! Woo hoo!
