Write Every Day: Day #8

[auroracloud]

Here's the post for December 8th.

Today's writing

I should have had time today, but it was hard to focus on the writing. Still, I got a few hundred words on the Yuletide fic, and when I just finish the last scene and fill out a few bits in between, I'll have myself a first draft. A first draft that needs loads of editing, but still. I also got a couple of hundred words more on another fic I've been writing lately. I'd really like to do more focused writing again, though. Now I'm constantly hopping from that to something else entirely. Let's see if tomorrow is any better in that respect.

What about you all?

For me it's not so much that there's much going on, just... well, other things. Am not feeling entirely well, which affects my focus. Still, writing tends to make me feel better, so I should try to get that to work.

I'm glad it's worked that well for you! Yeah, the effect has been similar for me. Especially throughout the autumn, when I was very busy, I'd often sit down to write just the alibi sentence or a few, and end up with much more because I got into the swing of writing. And yay if the need for fix-it fic results in so many words! Watching/reading things can cause surprise inspiration; for me it's currently not as much fix-it as "damn, canon isn't telling half of the interesting things, I'll see about filling them in myself".

I think this is the first time I had the urge for a fix-it; usually it's rather like you say, filling in the blanks of and background to canon.
