Write Every Day, April Day #29

[auroracloud]

It's been a busy day and I actually have a time when I need to get up tomorrow morning, so this'll be brief.

Today's Writing

I added sentences to a ficlet. I'm still hoping to finish things for my April allbingo card before April's over, but we'll see how that turns out.

Day 29: auroracloud, carenejeans, ysilme

Let me know if I missed you on the tally, or if you wrote but didn't check in yet! You can join in or drop out any time.

Comments

[shadaras]

I've started working on an exchange letter. :) that's about it for today!

[auroracloud]

Well, exchange letters are also a needed part of the process sometimes!

[badly_knitted]

Another day of rain. Weather like this makes me sleepy and unfocused so I decided to make it a drabble day. 100 words is sometimes easier than trying to come up with a coherent plot.

April 29th - 1120 words. 8 Doctor Who drabbles, 2 Buffy drabbles, and a spot of editing on a fic I'd already started, basically just fixing bits that didn't make sense and adding a couple of lines of dialogue to a existing conversation.

Still sleepy...

[auroracloud]

I find drabbles super hard, but that's because I have trouble thinking that concisely. But I'm glad you found them such a productive outlet for your creativity yesterday. :-)

[badly_knitted]

I used to find them difficult but the more I write the easier it seems to get, although I'm not always that happy with the result. Some don't turn out as well as I'd like. I'm always trying to do better. I did write one yesterday that I was very happy with.

[luzula]

Today's wordcount: 500
Total wordcount on fic: 17,000

I got past a little snag in the story, so I am pleased. : )

[auroracloud]

Well done for working your way through it. :-)

[sylvanwitch]

I edited the first 15 pages of the Bond/Q fic. I'd intended to do more, but my focus today was scattered, at best, and I'm just out of energy for gathering it. ;-)

[auroracloud]

That's quite a bit edited in one day, I say! Especially for a day when you had a hard time focusing. :-)

[alexseanchai]

I snuck into ch 3 the hint at how I am pulling off the solution figured out yesterday to the problem described the day before; the rest of the solution is not yet written (and I may want to find a point more in the middle of the story to hint at it idk), but the time-sensitive part is ready to go

I will post ch 3 six minutes after midnight tomorrow, and I used a different contact point to check with one of the artists I commissioned months ago to make sure she knows that chapter is going up and she can post the art herself please (since I emailed her Monday and hadn't got a reply, and the other artist replied promptly) ETA we're good

I'm trying not to be upset with myself over how much less attention this novel-length is getting so far than other of my fics have gotten in similar time frames, see also, see also and note that the version not condensed for Twitter has ten bullet points, like part of why I'm upset with myself is I know I'm being irrational, [image: John Mulaney says "I also do not want to be doing what I am doing!"] (you see how well I am succeeding)

I submitted my guesses for whos-who-pt-2, way later than I wanted to (and I still ended up pasting the lists of which authors in each theme I hadn't a clue whose fics are whose into random dot org in order to submit a full slate of guesses), but more than a day before deadline (and on, most likely, Friday, all themes' author reveals, and then we can start discussing who got who right and wrong and why—I ain't admitting which of my guesses were random, though—and also I can post an unrelated thing I've been sitting on in order to not give away which Who's Who fic is mine)

I'm trying to figure out if an AO3 work skin will let me format paragraphs as hanging indents, because if so then the fic taking shape in my mind as an interview transcript can be formatted the way it looks in my head (now if only I could figure out what this character is meant to be interviewing these two characters about, and what all the second interviewee is talking about!)

[auroracloud]

Glad you figured out how to start integrating your solution into the story. Sounds like you've got quite a project going on with this story! I personally think it's wonderful you're devoting so much time and thought and effort into it - you can usually really tell when an author has done that, and it's all the more wonderful for that. Good luck your efforts!

[alexseanchai]

😻

I really really hope the thought and effort involved shows in the actual text

[deifire]

Today: 21 alibi words

My professional alter ego was hogging the computer for most of the day.

[auroracloud]

Ah, those pesky professional alter egos, they can really hog the computer sometimes! Mine's been surprisingly active as well and it's made things challenging...

[sanguinity]

Apr 28: Longhand page at lunch.

[auroracloud]

Cheers for lunchtime writing!

[cornerofmadness]

Good luck with the bingo. Somehow I wrote 3247 words on two Prodigal Son stories

[auroracloud]

Thank you! It doesn't seem to be happening, but oh well, maybe there'll be an amnesty round where I can try!

[cornerofmadness]

Good luck

[lferion]

Day 29 - 100ish more words on the Play piece. How is it the end of April?

Thank you so much for your encouragement and hosting!

[auroracloud]

Beats me, time is weird! But congrats for keeping on writing!

[yasaman]

Day 29: 909 words on two fics today!

[auroracloud]

Excellent!

[trobadora]

The day totally got away from me. I just about managed an alibi sentence before I fell into bed.

[auroracloud]

Glad you got in that alibi sentence!

[silveradept]

Some amount of work, kind of scattered in this regard, but hopefully I'll get more focused material on Day 30.

[auroracloud]

Even if one day's work is scattered, it can pave way for the next day's work and make it easier to get there.

[sierranovembr]

Day 29 check in: a few alibi sentences

[auroracloud]

Well done for keeping up the writing!
