Write Every Day: Day #16

[auroracloud]

Today's writing

Yuletide editing. And editing. And editing. Still not done. There's been quite some progress, thankfully, but there's still one gaping hole that needs to be filled and a couple of things that really need serious improvement, and my mind isn't producing anything. I currently despair over the quality of my own writing, and wish I had come up with a different story idea, and wonder why I ever signed up for this exchange, and pity my recipient. Maybe I need to go and watch an episode of Torchwood, and then come back and finish this.

It's going to be a very rough version that gets uploaded tonight, and I'll edit it before the reveals to make it better, but as of yet it doesn't quite pass off as a story, and I won't have time and energy for any significant amount of editing tomorrow, so... Don't know how late I'll be up. Sigh.

ETA at way, way too late at night: Edits finished for the night and story posted! I will still continue editing it, there's a lot to be improved, but at least I've got a complete story now. Woo hoo!

How are all of you doing? Hopefully nobody's been eaten by bears.

I posted my main story today. My tagging is terrible, but otherwise it is pretty good, I think.

Yesterday morning I woke up and found that a dozen punch hits had gone out the night before. By sheer coincidence, the one remaining one that had not been claimed, 12 hours after they went out, contained a fandom I offered. So I offered to do it - figuring that it was gone but the mods were just, you know, sleeping. Much to my surprise. I got it.

I spent yesterday reviewing as much of the fandom as I could (I only own one of several books and there was no time to get the rest from the library) and throwing ideas out. As of today, I have maybe two ideas I can work with. I am not sure if they are one story or two. I came home from work tonight, review'ed canon a bit more, and tried to make an outline. I'll dig into actual words tomorrow. I hope.

Congrats on getting the main story posted! I'll have to look at tagging really carefully yet, too...

And that's great about the pinch hit! They're terribly hard to get, aren't they? Good luck with the writing!
