auroracloud: a fountain pen against a sheet of paper and writing (writing)

Write Every Day, August Day #6

Writing ergonomics are difficult. My back and neck have been protesting today, sitting at the computer or bending over a notebook for a long time aren't good for them. I've been counteracting it with some yoga and dancing exercises, and it helps. I need to make sure I get off my chair regularly enough. Though I also wish I had a chair and desk ideal for writing, which isn't exactly the case now. Things to do if I had more money... But my back definitely feels better on days when I've been doing more yoga and/or had a dance class. I bet I'm not the only one among us who struggles with keeping back and neck from aching... Any of you have some particularly helpful suggestions?

A pretty quiet day today otherwise. Some outdoors and some reading. And looking through my schedules for next week's WorldCon... I've never gone before, but this time it's in my own country!

Today's Writing

I brainstormed on one of my original ideas quite a lot, and wrote about 200 words on it (not sure of the exact word count, wrote it on longhand and didn't want to type it up yet). I also tried to work on my [community profile] rarepairfest fic, but I only ended up with one sentence, though it was a long and winding one. My brain doesn't seem to feel like fanfic today.

Actually, I am still deciding between two stories. Check with you: in remix, anything goes, right? As in, if the original fic is a non-superpowers story, I'd be able to make it into a powered AU version thereof, right?

Yes, that is absolutely something you could do! I rewrote a bakery AU as a in canon bakery thing once, for example.

Just message me if you want to brainstorm a bit. :D
