Write Every Day, September Day #5 (and Doctor Who!)

[auroracloud]

Look, Doctor Who fans! We have an air date! And the title of the first episode!

Now waiting for information on when the episodes will air in Finland. Season 10 aired right the next day, just enough time to get the translation done for the subtitles, I guess. I hope the delay won't be too much bigger this time, either.

I wonder if I should aim to get some of my fics in progress written and finished before S11 airs, so that the new stories won't sweep them out of my head.

Anyway, back to writing things.

Today's Writing

I wrote a few sentences on my almost-finished femslash ficlet, but I couldn't find a nice way to end it, so I'm letting that stew. I went for a short evening walk and got an idea for a fanfic that has actual plot stuff going on rather than just being shippy. Maybe I need to take more walks. It being autumn should help. Anyway, I wrote some 300 words on that when I got home. Might have done more, but I'm tired and my hands hurt tonight because I typed too much at work without wrist warmers. (Not that it's particularly cold there, my wrists just get sore easily and wrist warmers help with that.) But I got it off to a nice start, at least.

I did better yesterday, working on a few drabbles as well as the nonfiction project. Drabbles are funny word-count-wise, since I generally start with at least twice as many words as I need, and so end up with deleting as many as I've written! (Wait, that doesn't make sense 8-) Anyway. You know what I mean.)

And! I passed a milestone! I'm also signed with with getyourwordsout, which this year added a "habit challenge" -- number of days written rather than word count. I chose the the Journeyman challenge, to write 240 days. Well, the last check in, I had written 243 days. The mods sent me a congratulatory message and invited me to try for the Master challenge: 350 days.

Of course I made this goal because of this group. 8-) So thanks to everyone here!

And the Master challenge goal, hah. piece of cake. 8-)

Yay for managing some fiction as well, with the drabbles! I haven't really tried drabbles, because the thought of such a small word count is a bit intimidating for me, but I bet it would go the same way for me, paring the first draft down to reach the word count.

Woo hoo for passing your milestone and writing on over 240 days this year. That's awesome, and I'm glad the Write Every Day community has helped you reach that goal! Good luck with the Master challenge! :-)
