Write Every Day, June Day #14

[auroracloud]

I may be a bit more quiet over the next couple of days, as I'm not-at-home and posting conditions aren't ideal. I'll try to reply to the Write Every Day comments, and at least get the check-in post and the tally up as usual, but I may leave other comments until I'm back at my usual place.

Today's Writing

I typed up the description of my nature outing last weekend from my diary, and rewrote it to work better as a travel writing exercise. Which also nearly doubled its word count. But there were parts of the diary entry that were pretty usable on their own, just a few wording changes, so that was nice. I may still look at some of my fics, but I really should go to bed soon, as I've actually promised to be somewhere at an hour that more self-disciplined people consider normal.

ETA: Oops, 662 words of new fic. Looks like the Cottoncandy Bingo is providing ideas. Now seriously going to bed!

I typed up the description of my nature outing last weekend from my diary, and rewrote it to work better as a travel writing exercise.
I need to try doing this! I often collect ideas and impressions from travelling etc. for writing, and note them down as quick drafts. But writing a proper scene out of them would be much more useful and helpful, I think. Thanks for the inspiration!
In addition to my currently usual editing, I wrote a bit over 1k for a possible new story, inspired by re-watching a movie.

Have fun trying that! I don't do that sort of thing often enough either, considering how much diary and notes I do write. Though it turned out my friend preferred the version that was almost straight out of my diary to the one that I'd polished up and rewritten. ;-)

Isn't it nice when totally different things you're doing - like watching a movie, reading a book, taking a walk or whatever - inspire new stories unbidden? Sounds like you had quite a productive creative day. :-)
