Write Every Day: Day #9

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!

Yay, congrats on the Yuletide draft! *\O/* I hope you'll also feel better soon. Good luck for the editing!
Another busy day for me, although at home choir rehearsal and going to the cinema wasn't what hindered the writing, but not feeling up to it, I'm a bit sick.
I tried to work on my Maglor WIP again, to overcome that passage where I'm stuck since three days. I managed to squeeze out 250 words, but this went NaNo-fashion: needs to be completely rewritten or deleted later on, but necessary to overcome a stubborn block in the story. But I think I'm over it, so I'm satisfied.

Thank you!

Sorry to hear you're feeling a bit sick. Hope you get better soon! And yeah, sometimes you just need to write through something so you can get ahead, no matter if you can write it right or well at that point. It'll probably come to you later, or you'll find out it's better than you think (sometimes that happens, too!).
