Write Every Day: October 2023 Day 23

[kate]

Whew, day of rest with lots of mental noodling on possible stories. This week I hope to actually put the noodles down somewhere I can think about writing some of it.

23: I'm counting writing down all the reasons writing hasn't been going, it's outlining adjacent, it's only not actually outlining bc it's reasons XYZ solutions to these plot questions won't work instead of reasons W solution will

[lferion]

22 Oct - I think I have finished the spooky autumn poem, and am now contemplating doing art/calligraphy/interesting typography for it, inspired by one of the comments on fan Flashworks.

I also did quite a lot of prep work for highlander holiday shortcuts.

[china_shop]

23rd: some words on some things, and several hours of reading through the first half of WIP #1 on my kindle, making tons of notes of things to fix. Hoping to get through the rest tomorrow.

[ysilme]

But the important thing is the noodling is happening! :o) Go you!
I did a lot of noodling myself yesterday; my other plans were thwarted by severe cramping, so I had a lot of quality time with a hot water bottle and my notebook. ;op 3,2k words; 2,1 for the nostalgia project, NaNo prep and novel noodling (noodling is such a perfect term! ^^ ) on top of the nonfic I'd already reported.

[runpunkrun]

"put the noodles down"

:D

[silveradept]

Got to check back in for days 17-23, with links dropped, book club stuff handled, assignments arrived and materials edited and submitted. The writing is coming for those assignments, but apparently the brain needs to gnaw on it some to get it going in the right direction. Oh, well. It'll come in time. I know what I want, I just have to figure out what that is.

[alightbuthappypen]

Day 23: such a terribly, terribly long day at work. It's hard to come home to stare at a screen after spending a whole day staring at a screen. No proper prose but 288 words outlining the next couple of scenes, so when I come to it tomorrow I won't have to figure quite so much out on the fly.

Happy noodling!

[regshoe]

Day 23: Planning my Yuletide assignment :D :D

[luzula]

Day 21: Wrote Yuletide letter and signed up for Yuletide.
Day 22: Had left my computer power cable elsewhere the previous day, thus could not use computer that day. No writing.
Day 23: Received Yuletide assignment, which is definitely doable! \o/ I'm going to adopt your excellent phrase and say that I did some mental doodling on what to write, and count that as writing. Aside from my main fic, I have ideas for at least two treats.

[badly_knitted]

Good luck with noodling.

Oct 23rd - 1006 words. 4 double drabbles, edits to a story for posting, and more work on the spook_me fic. I think I've nailed down where the second chapter ends.

[sylvanwitch]

YAY for rest and good luck on the noodle-to-paper pipeline! :-)

On Day 23, I added 1133 words to the "outline," in this case pretty much continuing a chapter I think will probably end up being completed. (Most of the outline is bits of dialogue, scenes, summaries, but in a few places, I got carried away because I was excited about the characters meeting for the first time, for example, so this chapter is actually a whole thing.)

[shadaras]

Day 22: Alibi sentence

Day 23: A couple paragraphs

[yhlee]

Day 23: 500 words on linguistics space opera. Slow and steady.

Yay for rest & noodling!

[chanter1944]

Tagging in for day 21, 22, and 23, before I forget to again!

A few sentences for day 21, word count not tracked exactly.

135 words, give or take, for day 22, though I admit I wasn't tracking super closely.

And a few more sentences for day 23.

[kate]

Heck yeah! All the words count, even the ones just figuring out other bits!

[kate]

Dang, multitalented! Congrats, that's awesome!

[kate]

Ooh, that's one of my fave things, the first pass after the rough draft. Hope it was helpful!

[kate]

Damn! That's amazing for a day having to stay still, congrats on so much stuff!

I love noodling, it is just the perfect word for it!

[kate]

Hahahahahahahaha almost sounds like a threat, lol!

[kate]

Good luck! I understand the brain needing some time to work on stuff, hope it comes in good time!

[kate]

Thanks, I'm having fun with the noodling at least.

Sorry to hear about your long day, but that is still a great wordcount, congrats!

[kate]

Yay Yuletide! :D :D :D

[kate]

All the Yuletide stuff yayyyyyyyy!!!! Also yay for noodling!

[kate]

I am always so impressed with the volume of things you do. Congrats on another great day!

[kate]

Oooh, I love having the bits of actual stuff among the outline stuff, it's like a wee treasure!

[kate]

Yay for getting it done!

[kate]

Lol I love that 500 is a slow day for you. <3 Keep it going!

Rest and noodling, sounds like an album!

[kate]

Yay for getting those daily words in! Keep it up!

[yasaman]

Day 23: 548 words for me tonight!

[badly_knitted]

Thank you. I think it's mostly habit, I've been writing 4 double drabbles every Monday for years, and keeping up with other weekly challenges, although I write for fewer now than I used to. Writing is my escape from life.

[kate]

Nice! Great count!
