Write Every Day - April Day #12

[auroracloud]

So tired tonight. When I'm done with this post, I just want to do a bit of an evening yoga and go to bed and read and hopefully sleep.

Today's Writing

I continued organizing my WIPs, this time with the Torchwood fics. I gathered all that I could find into a big Scrivener project, one file per story plus one for the random snippets that weren't yet a part of a full story - next I should sort through those and see what I've got there. Anyway, those came to over 18,000 words, and that's not including a longish one I put into its own Scrivener project a couple of weeks ago. I really need to start with goals to finish some of those WIPs! Anyway, that means that just between Doctor Who and Torchwood, I've probably got at least 40K words of unfinished (or unedited) fics. And I know I've got at least a couple things in other fandoms, too. It makes me feel oddly accomplished. Guess I did a lot of writing last year after all! Now I just need to go about finishing some of them.

Anyway, in addition to that, I wrote 105 words on the novel.

I hope you could sleep! *hugs*
I also always love the nice amount of words I see in my collected files in scrivener. My main drawer fic scrivener, where I once started to first put them together, and then also write them together as much as possible, contains over 500.000 words by now. If I need motivation, sometimes I just need to look at that number and feel accomplished. *g*
Another 1k for my new drawer fic for me yesterday. It's a non-fantasy, present time story for once, and mainly taking place at an old farm in Bavaria. I actually managed to spend over an hour yesterday with some freeware layout tool to draw a layout for the farmhouse... *headdesk*

*hugs back* Thanks! I did eventually sleep, though not quite as much as I wanted to. This week has been a bit bad for sleeping, somehow I'm more restless than usual. Don't know if it's the season, my cycle, or the inexplicable rise in anxiety I've had lately... Hope it gets better soon.

Wow, awesome drawer fic scrivener! I should maybe keep one like that, too. I'm also thinking I need to set up an idea scrivener. Because I'm one of those idea-rich writers who get more ideas than they know what to do with; and I often just write them down in random notebooks, but the chances are, I won't find them again later because I've written so many other things in the same notebook, too. Yet everything doesn't immediately become its own project, because that would get complicated, too. But in an idea scrivener, I could write as much or as little as I have, sort them by genre etc. and then have a look every now and then what I've got and which one I'd like to work on next...
