Write Every Day, September Day #11

[auroracloud]

Today it's been cool and cloudy and rainy, and I went for a walk and got rained on! That made me happy. I suppose people usually don't view that as a good thing in my corner of the world, but after the sweltering hot, dry summer, I've been aching for some cool autumn days and rain. Too bad it's supposed to clear up for a few days and also get warmer, but I hope that the autumn will soon continue its advance. More rain and clouds my way, please! They're so soothing and lovely.

Today's Writing

I worked on two separate femslash ficlets, 700 words in total. Though I'm not sure if one of them is really going to work, because the timelines don't quite match as well as I thought. While I was researching to find out if the timeline would work or not, I got sucked down the rabbit hole of what classic Who stories exist in the form of novels, short stories, comics etc. I'd probably have written more if I hadn't done that.

I should also write something for the travel writing assignments that I and my friend are trying to get back into doing. We're doing that thing together so we'll each get something written, rather than just think "One day I'll try to work on travel writing". I'll see if I feel like drafting a bit for that before I start calming down for sleep.

I completely understand your love of cool, rainy autumn days. I'm not as big on walking in the rain, but I love an overcast, blustery autumn day when there are high, scudding clouds and leaves ripping holes in the air and everything seems like it's frenetic with energy. I'm hoping we get at least a few of those. *fingers crossed*

I wrote 263 words in the very small window of opportunity I had between arriving at home and then changing to go back out to a local book reading and signing. It was a fun event, and I'm glad I went, but boy did it take away all of my writing time!

[cornerofmadness]

Good luck. I've tried turning my hand to travel writing a time or two with mixed results.

Also I've been spending far too much time down the fandom research rabbit hole.

Got 543 words on the solarpunk

Rain would make me happy too. 8-)

I worked on the nonfiction project in the morning, after which the day went downhill, so I only managed an alibi sentence for fiction. Oh well. It's a good sentence.

Congrats for your writing!
I didn't manage to check in again yesterday, sorry! I fear might not be able to check in daily from now on, too, as the house painting now starts in earnest. (Btw, somebody asked me some details about it, was that you? I know I didn't manage to comment on that yet, but can't find the question again, ashes on my head...[which is a German saying and probably incomprehensible or weird or both in English?]) It also got hot here again, around 30°C-ish, which makes everything more exhausting again since I already unlearned to cope with heat. *sigh* Good for my veggies at least, and for the outdoor work....
I wrote abou 700 words on the 10th, although most in correspondence, and posted my second WIP. This was even more complicated than usual, as it's a joint text and photo story, and getting the code bits for the images right with various sizes was a bit of work. *phew* But I'm really happy with the result, also content-wise; it's one of the best things I've ever written and done. I even already got reviews for it from one reader, one probably the loveliest review I ever got! :o) They compared the story to a beautiful indie arthouse film.
Yesterday, I even managed 1,4k, most of it writing-related correspondence as well. But I'm shamelessly going to count that, and there were a few new words on the drawer edit.

I also found the neatest html code guide for AO3, too, in case somebody is interested.

Situation unchanged. I wrote, but I'm still not writing.

(And you can have all the rain and clouds, as far as I'm concerned! They're coming here tomorrow, and I don't want them. Getting rained on inevitably has me ending up with a bad cold.)
