Write Every Day, April Day #30

Here's the final check-in post for April, though I'll still post the complete tally tomorrow. But already at this point, thank you very much to everyone who's participated! It's been good to have such a writing community camp at my journal this month. I'm too sleepy to write more right now - I'm posting this later than usual, because I've been distracting myself from the fact that tomorrow's May 1st and, that being a big holiday in Finland, I would normally spend all day hanging out with my friends eating things and chatting and so on, but well, in this situation I will not be. (By distracting myself I mean baking and watching a musical DVD. Just for the record.)

Today's Writing

I had got an idea for a scene in the novel and started writing it in my notebook. Got a few pages. I'd have loved to write more, but my eyes have been sore tonight from too much time staring at screens, so I didn't feel it was a good idea to work on anything that needed the computer. But I was happy with the scene idea I had and the progress I made with it, so that's good.

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.

Fannish character meme

A meme grabbed from kindkit, because I want to be social about something and this seems like a good way. And also because I haven't done a fandom meme in a while and this looks like fun.


Give me a character and I'll tell you some things:

1. How I feel about this character

2. All the people I ship romantically and/or sexually with this character

3. Favorite gen relationship(s) for this character

4. My unpopular opinion about this character

5. One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

6. Random pet theory about this character that you won't convince me is not true.

7. A song or piece of music I associate with this character.


Feel free to pick any fandom that you know I like. If you're not sure if I know/like something, try it and I'll tell you if I don't know the fandom/character enough to have these opinions. Just one caveat: if you pick Doctor Who, I've still got very conflicted feelings about the Chibnall era thanks to the S12 finale, so please be a sweetheart and don't pick the characters from that era. Anything else goes, old and new.

My AO3 account - not only my own works but also my bookmarks etc. - can provide you some ideas as to which fandoms I've been into in the recent years, if you have trouble remembering.

Write Every Day: Final tally for April 2020!

Here's the final tally for Write Every Day in April. Thank you so much to everyone who participated! I had a good time hosting and having this travelling writing show camp at my journal this month. It was really helpful in this time of uncertainty and social distancing to have a constant stream of interaction about writing. I hope this was useful to you all as well!

In May we'll be hosted by nafs, so head over there if you want to keep participating! Hope I'll see many of you over there. Also, ysilme has a list of past hosts and those who've currently promised to host future months over in this entry at zwei_hexen - it's not binding, just a log of what offers have been made so they're easier to find.

If you subscribed to me this month for the Write Every Day posts, you can feel free to either unsubscribe or not, whichever you prefer. I won't take it personally if you unsubscribe when the month is over, I promise, but it's also perfectly fine if you want to keep on reading. I still need to properly go through who's subscribing to me these days and who's granted access as well and all that, so, I'll get there, I hope... Anyway, I hope to keep seeing you around, and I wish you all a good writing month in May!

And if you didn't have time to check in yet for yesterday or any other day, or if I missed you on the tally, let me know!
