Write Every Day: August Day #3

[auroracloud]

Today hasn't been as domestic-superheroic as yesterday, because I was pretty tired after all of yesterday's activity. But I cleaned some windows! And the bedroom is... slightly less messy.

I rewarded myself by watching my next Doctor Who episode, The Asylum of the Daleks. I need to get my thoughts into order before writing something coherent about it (I seem to say that about every Eleventh Doctor episode I say something about), but right now I'll just note I can't get the Carmen chorus out of my head. But earlier, the music in my head was 'Rasputin' for some inexplicable reason, so I'm not really going to complain.


Writing

Today was, on the other hand, a surprisingly good writing day! I was supposed to edit my Torchwood fic, so naturally I spent all morning writing other things: first I began a completely new Doctor Who fic (as if I don't have enough in progress), writing a few hundred words there, and then I wrote about a 1000 words on another that I started the last time I had a really good writing day. I thought this fic wasn't going to be so long, but I seem to be wrong. 3,000 words so far, and I'm not nearly done. But I'm really enjoying it.

In the evening I've finally been working through the beta comments on the Torchwood fic and putting it into shape. First I almost couldn't because I hated every word I'd written, you know how it is sometimes. But eventually I've started being able to do things with it, and I also don't hate it anymore. Yay! I don't think I'll finish it tonight, but maybe tomorrow? We can hope!

How was it for you all? And welcome to muccamukk who has joined the challenge since yesterday! Glad to have you on board!

[esteliel]

I had another great theatre outing this evening, so I wasn't super productive, but I finished editing my WIP chapter and got to post it, yay!

[auroracloud]

Yay for great theatre outing! What did you see? And yay for finishing the edits and posting your WIP chapter!

[esteliel]

The Ferryman, which was really as good as the reviews say - very very tense.

[sylvanwitch]

Go you with the great writing progress! *applauds*

I wrote 370 more words of that Steve/Tony fic I hadn't planned on writing. Lol!

[auroracloud]

Thank you! And sometimes it's the unexpected pieces that keep on demanding to be written. Yay for more writing!

[navaan]

I'm very gleeful about that Steve/Tony happening. At least they aren't only pushy with me. XD

[iberiandoctor]

Hi! Hope you've been well, and good to see you're writing and editing (albeit doing less fun things like cleaning ;))! Link me to Torchwood fic when you're done -- I'm always up for Doctor/Jack, and Jack/everyone else ;)

I actually wrote quite a bit on Days 1 through to 3 - I'm four chapters into a collabfic and have just written 1,000 words of explicit Old Man Sex (uh, possibly TMI), and in the previous two days I wrapped up the last chapter of my WIP and made 1,600 words of giftfic.

[auroracloud]

Hi there! I'll definitely try to link to the Torchwood fic as soon as it's up and posted (it's Jack/Ianto, for the record, and I'm trying to stop hating my writing for long enough to finish the last bits of editing). If you're interested, I also have a Ten/Jack fic up at wintercompanion, though I didn't manage to make it as good as I wanted - blaming it on June being a bad month for me. I should probably post it at AO3 now that the challenge is over...

OK, I'll add you to the tally for all the days, yay for managing to do so much writing!

[tinx_r]

So far today I have written one flyer recruiting students to come walk my greyhounds, and 1 flyer recruiting people to come adopt my greyhounds...

Hopefully, before I lay me down to sleep, I can write something more fun (for all of us lol). meanwhile, I shall go and feed my greyhounds!

[auroracloud]

Hey, at least the writing sounds like it's good for the greyhounds! I'm sure doing things good for greyhounds adds to your writing karma, or something!

[muccamukk]

Did about 400 words on current project. May finish this year some time at this rate.

[auroracloud]

400 words is a good word count for a day! Good luck with your project!
