auroracloud: a fountain pen against a sheet of paper and writing (writing)
Look, I wrote and posted a fic! In a fandom that isn't Doctor Who, no less! Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] _profiterole_ for looking this over before I posted it, and any mistakes I've left in are entirely mine. This is for the Cottoncandy Bingo, though I'm very unlikely to get a bingo, seeing as this is the first fic I've completed and the challenge ends tonight. Oh well, I still got fic out of it!

auroracloud: a stack of notebooks, one of them open and with pencil lying on top of it (writing: sketching/planning)
So here we are, the last day of the month! Tomorrow, I'll still post the final tally, but then we continue the challenge in July over at [personal profile] carenejeans's journal. So head over there if you want to keep checking in to write every day. (Or however many days you happen to write on.)

Just asking again: is there someone who'd already like to volunteer to host for August? We don't have anyone hosting that month yet, and in summer, it would be nice to have things settled down a bit in advance. I know I can't do August, as I'll be traveling for some of that (plus I just did June, obviously).

Today's Writing

I went on another research trip! Same place, but didn't stay quite as long this time, so I was less knackered. Though it was warm today, and the sun was shining when I did the outdoors part, so I did feel a bit overheated, despite making sure I didn't spend much time out in the middle of the day. (And my honesty feels compelled to add that it was 22 °C. Yes, I'm aware that some people's homes are warmer than that. I'm aware that all you people of warmer climates are now laughing at me. I'm a wimp with warmth, I can't help it. I didn't choose it, my body did, and the dizziness is real. But I didn't get a sunstroke, yay.)

Anyway, lots of notes were written - also before I went, because I spent some of the morning reading a research book - but I didn't have a lot of energy for fiction-writing. I also lost most of the evening with a book. Anyway, I did finish the edits to and posted the one fic I managed to complete for the Cottoncandy Bingo. I hope I'll get some of those I've started written later on, even if it's too late to manage a bingo for this month. Anyway, I then managed to get myself to work on my [community profile] who_contest story, so I still have a chance of making that. I happened to get a word count of exactly 300 words altogether, a nice round number for day #30!
