Write Every Day: Day #11

[auroracloud]

Here's the post for December 11th.

Yesterday and today, I've been going through the prompts of Public Call and Yuletide, seeing about treats I might want to write. I've got several ideas now that I really want to write, and a few of them threaten to be long. Some require research. Send help! :-)

Today's writing

All of a sudden, I seem to have written about 1880 words on a possible treat. No idea how big the chances are of finishing that one by the deadline, because I'm not that far into the story yet... But I have fun, at least. Also tried a little bit of research for another possible treat, and brainstormed for others.

How about you?

I don't know what these treats are, but wow, that's really awesome! Congratulations for an obviously good writing day.
I'm feeling better today, and we spent half of the day away with friends. But even with a clear head and enough time I wasn't much in the mood for writing. This seems to be a theme these days; perhaps I'm just too busy to find the right kind of leisure for proper story writing. I managed 400 words today, but they were forced, will go again with the next edit, and this time don't feel helpful to the story.

Here, treats mean you're writing other stories besides the one you were assignment. You can write an extra treat for your recipient, if you're writing more than one story for them, or you can write treats for other people based on their requests, when those requests go public or when you can find them e.g. in their exchange letters.

When you're busy, it's hard to find the right headspace for writing. Sometimes even forced words are useful, though, even when they don't feel so at the time of writing. They may clear space for something else.
