auroracloud: a fountain pen against a sheet of paper and writing (writing)
[personal profile] auroracloud
We're 2/3 of the way through the month already! How did that happen? Anyone want to comment on how your month has been passing so far, writing-wise? I'm pretty okay with mine as far as word counts and such go, and the novel planning/researching is trudging along okay, and hopefully there'll be new fics to publish soon with the aid of bingos.

Another thing I'm 2/3 of the way through is Good Omens. Just watched Episode 4. Loving this so much, would watch more if I wasn't so incredibly sleepy. But one episode in an evening is maybe a good pace for me, even if I feel odd being this much slower than other people. But it's not that I don't love it, I'm just a bit slow at watching TV shows, and I want to watch it when I know I can focus on it properly.

Loving how incredibly shippy it is, also.

Today's Writing

Some novel research again, mainly in form of reading a book that's sorta related, plus listening to a podcast episode that happened to be quite relevant. I also wrote some fic, finishing the first draft of another one of my Cottoncandy Bingo fics, and starting another. I seem to be working on a different bingo line than the one I thought I'd be working on. But hey, as long as I get something written! Should get around to editing the first two fics I've got so they'll eventually be publishable.

I also need to remember to try to get something written for the current [community profile] who_contest round - I love the theme and I've got ideas, but I should see if any of the ideas are actually willing to get written. Not that many days left before the deadline for that...

[three days of check ins from me, was away from the desktop 18th & 19th and had very little of interest to say >m< ]

[just done my word counts, 200 on the 18th (bleh.), 250 on the 19th (meh.) and 1.6k today (finally.). the 1.6k may be completely useless for my wip but i think i'm gonna keep with it for a bit, it's been more entertaining ]

[still playing catch up on the overall wordcount goal but it's within reach. i'm still on the reasoning of quantity over quality this year. next year i can work on polish and poetry, this year is all about building the mechanical habit and just pushing words out no matter how unhappy i might think i feel about them ]

Yay for working on various projects today! :-)

As for Good Omens, I haven't even started it yet (my H50 S1-9 complete watch isn't done yet--I think I have 14 eps left of the S9), so don't feel too badly about your viewing pace. :-)

I added 774 words to the H50 fic, bringing it up to just a little over 34K. I think we're going to have another sex scene and then a bit of a wrap-up of the main case of the fic, and then the first draft will be done.

yesterday, prompted thing on tumblr

later yesterday, [personal profile] soc_puppet added thing to their plunny hutch

subsequently, commented there with further detail on a possible such story

after midnight, updated comment with more detail

concluded edited comment "...wait shit"

linked to thread from my plunny hutch

also other stuff but like if I wanted to write this idea I would not have tossed it to tumblr all "free to a good home" to begin with

I just submitted Mischief Christmas so I guess the writing is going okay. Spent the day doing the writers group critiques and managed 411 words on Like Stone so progress

Thanks. I've been part of various writers group for nearly 30 years now. Occasionally you get the toxic person but for the most part they are very helpful if for moral support if nothing else

A little bit of adding words to fic, but today's output was mostly adding back another entry into the queue of weekly posts, finishing what I'd started yesterday. And avoiding writing a line as a comment that would essentially be "Call off your sockpuppet, you're not making friends by "correcting" the analysis nor by insisting the original canon is as close to perfect in every way as it can be."

Did more reading of fic and trying to help someone else out with how potential work skins might go for them.

I worked on the nonfiction project for most of the day. It's coming along, but ack. So many little blurbs to write.

Typing that, it occurs to me that maybe this project and the novel are too different, and maybe that's why I'm having so much trouble concentrating on longer writing. Hm. Argh.
