Write Every Day: Day #9

[auroracloud]

Today's writing

I finished Yuletide! That is, the first draft. It still needs to be edited like whoah, and I hope I can cut down a good bit of it because it measures almost 7K at the moment and that's too much. But the first draft is done! The beginning of today was crappy, and I didn't even try to write, but in the afternoon I slept and felt much better, and after dinner and a bit of reading I just sat in front of the computer and tap-tap-tapped away until it was done. About 1600 words at one go. It was so nice to have a good writing day for a change.

Good luck for you all with your writing!

Congrats on finishing the yule story. Day nine netted 390 words on my yule story but I'm at a spot that need thinking. Parties are fun to be at but less fun to write.

Thanks. :-)

Sometimes you need a bit of time to think your writing through. :-) Well, at least you know what's fun about parties, then. I only like the sort of parties I and my friends have, which mean tea and food and chatting about geeky things. My experience of the more normal parties is "too many people, too much noise, and why isn't there more music you can actually dance to, and everyone expects me to be getting drunk and thinks I'm somehow flawed for not doing so, and to be honest being drunk would probably be the only way to tolerate them when they're drunk, and I think I'll go home and read something now".

Honestly that's half of my parties too though I drink too and dance. I can morph into whatever I need to be for that time whether or not it really interests me
