Write Every Day, September Day #24

[auroracloud]

Today, there were some anxieties and I had too little sleep, but at least I was somewhat recovered from yesterday's draining effect. And in the evening I've been feeling more settled again, and a walk outdoors made me feel better. It really is proper autumn, it's getting chilly enough that not only do I need a coat, I even needed to put on a scarf and gloves to go outdoors in the evening. And more and more leaves are turning red and yellow and all the shades in between. Also, when I got home, a beautiful full moon was just rising! This is one of my favourite times of the year.

Today's Writing

I got back the beta comments for the little Classic Who ficlet I'd written for who_contest, edited according to those comments, and edited some more to make it fit the word count limit. Then I spent a lot of time trying to come up with a title (titles are my bane) and posting it on AO3 and the community - it always takes a few tries to make sure the code is right, in both cases. I had ideas about other things to write, but I'm just too sleepy now.

[bic_hok]

I liked your ficlet. I also wrote on the 24th - I think I even managed to plant some foreshadowing!

[auroracloud]

Thank you! :-) And yay foreshadowing! It feels satisfying to manage to do such a thing while writing. :-)

[sylvanwitch]

Yay for editing and posting! I'm not familiar with much Who beyond Eccleston and some of Tennant's tenures, but I'll have to take a gander regardless. :-)

I wrote 1037 on the Loki/Thor tale.

[auroracloud]

If you ever feel like taking a look at Classic Who (ie the 1963-1989 series), I'll be happy to recommend my favourites. :-)

Sounds like the Loki/Thor tale is progressing very nicely! :-)

[cornerofmadness]

Finally done with the solarpunk. 650 words tonight

[auroracloud]

Congratulations for being done with that story!

[cornerofmadness]

Thank you! Now to edit it and get it to the publisher by the weekend!

[carenejeans]

Congrats on posting!

I am trying something slightly new -- since my alibi "sentences" tend to turn into longer bits (my alibi sentence today turned into 176 words), I'm going to plan to write a minimum of 100 words of fiction a day. I'm hoping to write more, of course. Since an alibi sentence seems to be a good way to get myself to just start, I'm hoping it will go something like this: Alibi sentence => 100 words or more => elaboration with still more words => actual progress!

Anyway, today I wrote a bit on the Nice Bookshop novel, and worked on the nonfiction project.

[auroracloud]

Thank you!

That sounds like a plan with potential! A modest enough word count that it's usually not hard to achieve even on a tired or busy day. I also sometimes think about setting a minimum word count that's low enough, something on that range, but so far I haven't done it yet. I'd have to figure out which system to set for editing phases.

Yay for more on the Nice Bookshop novel - and that you have more than one bookshop story, differentiated by the character of the bookshop. :-)

[trobadora]

Congrats on finishing and posting!

I worked a little on my FemslashEx fic. This thing badly needs more structure.

[auroracloud]

Thank you!

Congrats on working on your FemslashEx fic, even if only a little! Mine doesn't have any structure at all, due to not existing. You have time yet to work on the structure!
