Write Every Day, Day #31
Aug. 31st, 2017 10:25 pmNo, still not a good day, but at least I slept better, so that's something. When I got home, I inflicted some of my bad mood on one of my characters, and that made me feel better.
Another thing that makes me feel better is all the nice comments I've gotten on my fics lately. Next, I should probably get around to replying to them!
Anyway, today is my last day hosting the challenge, but tomorrow I'll still post the final tally.
shopfront will take over hosting for September, so head over to her DW journal to check in starting from tomorrow! But today we have one final check-in post here in my journal.
Today's Writing
Got 136 words on one of my original projects (that being words in Finnish, it would be closer to 200 if it was written in English). I think this one is the most likely to be the one I'll start to work on more "seriously" some point soon. Though now that I said this, I'll probably be hit by inspiration for a different one tomorrow.

Let me know if I missed someone, or if you wrote but didn't check in yet! You can join any time.
Another thing that makes me feel better is all the nice comments I've gotten on my fics lately. Next, I should probably get around to replying to them!
Anyway, today is my last day hosting the challenge, but tomorrow I'll still post the final tally.

Date: 2017-08-31 10:11 pm (UTC)Thanks so much for hosting this month!
no subject
Date: 2017-08-31 10:59 pm (UTC)I wrote 66 words on the Steve/Tony story, but as they were pivotal words leading to Act V and the ending, I'll take 'em. I'm so tired from another night of poor sleep followed by a long day at work, I'll take ANY words that come to me right now.
no subject
Date: 2017-09-01 12:39 am (UTC)In addition, I managed to at least do my final round of edits and then post my next slavefic chapter. Hopefully tomorrow I can catch up on the writing.

Date: 2017-09-01 09:43 am (UTC)It's been horribly hot and humid yesterday, and I was so busy with preparing the study as a kitty-quarter (they're going to move in tomorrow! :D ) I didn't find time for more than a few token words on the challenge fic; although I plotted a lot while working. This is so typical for me, too: our study is that kind of place where lots and lots of stuff (mostly paper and electronics) amasses over time which needs to be sorted out or put away, but nobody ever gets around doing it as there's always something else with higher priority. But having three energetic, curious furry kids crawling and climbing around everywhere means a lot of this has to be done NOW, as this is the best room for them to be in for the first time. I also used the opportunity to shift some furniture around, so even more fun for me. *g* At least it's cooler today.
I wrote about 300 words on the 30th and perhaps 10 on the 31st.

Date: 2017-09-01 06:35 pm (UTC)Good work on getting more words on your story! Sometimes it's not how many words, but getting important words done! And long, tiring days and poorly slept nights are not conductive to great amounts of writing, anyway. Hope you can rest soon and get your sleep back! *hugs*

Date: 2017-09-01 06:41 pm (UTC)Sometimes kitties have to take priority! Making them a nice place is important. And good that you still managed some writing. :-) Glad the temperature is getting to more tolerable levels. We had a super-nice weather today, basically 19 °C and partly cloudy, which was ideal for outdoors activities that I had!

Date: 2017-09-02 02:04 pm (UTC)It's interesting that you count English words different from Finnish, why? Because you find Finnish easier, or because Finnish sentences have fewer words? :)
no subject
Date: 2017-09-02 05:54 pm (UTC)Finnish sentences have far fewer words than English ones. I keep a separate count of my words in both languages to have an idea of how much I've actually written. Like, if I'd write a text in Finnish that would have 150 words, the same text in English would probably be 200-250 words. I'm not sure about the exact ratio, but the difference is pretty big. Finnish uses no articles, mostly uses suffixes rather than prepositions, and uses a lot of composite words (in the same way German does),and it makes quite a difference.

Oh, yeah, I can see how that would significantly lower the number of words needed. Interesting!
