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 Yuletide, that's fantastic! You have plenty of time left for editing. (Why is 7k too much, though? Longer fic is great!)

I had a pretty bad day yesterday - went to the doctor because of a stubborn cough that wouldn't go away; got meds; got knocked over so badly by the meds that I wasn't fit for anything the entire rest of the day. I just about remembered to scribble down an alibi sentence, at least.

Today, I tried a lower dose and it didn't knock me over quite as badly, so I actually got a bit of writing done after all. But still, ugh.

Congrats on finishing the draft! \o/

About 750 words for me, but the damn story still isn't done. *sob*

Congrats! My Yuletide ended up at 7k too I think, but I still haven't edited it. /o\ Instead I wrote 1k of a different fic today.

Yay for yuletide progress. Still working.

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.

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.

Are you me? I think my first Yuledraft was even more words, and I managed to hammer it down to 7+++k. Subtracted more words today, hurray! No writing the day before, though :(
