Write Every Day, September Day #25

[auroracloud]

I accidentally broke my TARDIS teapot today. Or was it yesterday? I don't seem to remember which it was, anymore. Sad, but at least it had served nicely for a few years. It's the second teapot I've broken this month; it clearly isn't my month in some respects. Now I need a new teapot. Maybe I should buy one made of stone or metal... Of course I can make my tea in a mug, too, I just like having a bigger pot for when I sit down to read or write. Especially in this time of the year, when it's getting colder.

It would be a lovely night for a full moon walk if I had the energy to go outdoors. This time of the year, I always start considering if I could possibly afford binoculars. It's so lovely to stargaze (or moongaze) when the nights are properly dark again, even though the views aren't the best in a city. (But at least Finland has relatively small cities and clean air.)

Today's Writing

My writing today has been an assorted lot. A podcast I listened to inspired me to start working on my most-likely-novel-to-be again, and I did about 400 words of brainstorming and character notes on it, as well as engaging in a little research reading & notes thereof. I've also continued the canon review of my Femslash Exchange assignment, bouncing around my ideas for the story as I do so, but I don't think I can start writing before I'm done with the canon review. So no actual words there, but stuff that needs to be done, anyway. Finally, I returned to the fanfic that I was writing massive amounts of words for on Friday and Saturday, and continued at a more mellow pace of 641 new words for tonight.

I'd like to look at editing my femslashficlets challenge fics, but we'll see if I'm too tired already. I also need to finish tagging my Winter Companions fic on AO3 so I finally get it posted there... It's been sitting in my drafts for a week because I need to sort out that paragraph breaks are where they should be and not where they shouldn't be.

Shame about the teapot!

I don't know about you but I love the brainstorming stage of a story! All that possibility and wild ideas!

Also I wrote on the 25th. :)

I'm impressed that you can work on more than one project at a time. I'm rather one-track-minded, so even though I have, technically, three projects right now, I can only work on one at a time (one a day, I guess you could say) rather than bouncing between them. I think it's great that you can do that.

Also, I'm sorry to hear about your teapot. I hope you find a suitable replacement. I have a little cast iron teapot that was a gift from a friend. It makes just enough tea (looseleaf, with a strainer that sets inside of it) for a big mug (16oz or so). I love it for winter nights. (I have a larger built-in strainer type that can also make a bit more than the other, but I don't like it as much, perhaps because it has no sentimental attachment.) Anyway, I just wanted to say that I do love the cast iron pot, so metal may be something you'd like too.

I wrote 596 words on the Loki/Thor story. I'm very tired tonight, so while I'm disappointed I couldn't manage more, I'm also just glad to be done for now, if that makes sense.

Aww too bad about the tea pot.

I got 120 words of editing on the solarpunk and 615 words on the BtVS/AtS story for spook_me

Sorry to hear about your teapot.

You've got a lot of projects going, don't you? Sounds like they're all going well, in their different stages of progress.

Well, my plan from yesterday worked this evening. I started with an "alibi sentence," and kept going, for 350 words!

And of course I worked on the nonfiction project. Or projects. 8-) I've got a gazillion clippings, and I've been sort of slotting them into rough outlines for essays and a sort of scrapbookish anthology idea. And other things. This project has tentacles, I tell you.
