Check-in time?

[wordstitch]

How's everyone doing with their writing this week, now that we've passed the half-way point?  Have you been working on your WIPs?  Made any progress?  Run into any trouble?  Let's talk about it!  


(not sure if I'm supposed to post this, but since nothing was posted yesterday I thought I'd go ahead!)

Yay! That's awesome! :D

[retsuko]

SO COOL! XD

I mean, I know it's difficult, but what an amazing project! I'll be thinking tons of good thoughts for you getting it done.

I finished a prologue to an original story a while back, but a few of my characters were lacking motivation, so I can't get into the story yet. Oh, that and I may need to do some more world building. I think I may have figured out a remedy for the character motivation problem, though!

Re: as for me...

[wordstitch]

Yeah, the logarithm is pretty accurate for the most part. It all depends on the words you use. I think the stats are more geared towards people who journal, maybe, and want to see what their outlook for the day/week/month has been? But it's still interesting to look at it and see what the computer says my writing feels like.

And I can't comment on whether it would be worth it to pay since I'm not paying XD I think that kind of thing always depends on the individual, and what motivates them. But it's at least kept me writing this month!

[wordstitch]

Thanks!

[wordstitch]

(I hate mine too! It's never the one you're most proud of that gets the most attention!)

[wordstitch]

=) I love typewriters. I own twelve manual ones.

[wordstitch]

What pairings do you write for Bleach? Bleach has one of the best kink memes, I think!

[wordstitch]

That's okay! This month has just started! Maybe you can start small, like fuchsian suggested? \o/ Good luck!!

[wordstitch]

Good luck with your Sunday goal! 1k on a WIP is great, well done!

Rare Pair Battle sounds like a fun project! I'm always envious of KnB fandomers; it's nice to be in a fandom that has new canon, and one of my flisters who's a great writer is in that fandom so I'm always seeing stuff on my tumblr dash =)

[wordstitch]

Ooh, good job! Yay for being close to the finish line~

[wordstitch]

Worldbuilding and character motivation are so tricky in original fic. I'm going through the same problems right now with my original fic projects. Good luck!! Glad you have a remedy for it~

[ravengown]

Hahaha! KnB is actually almost on its last legs, I think— since we're on the last season of the anime and all. But it should be fun.

[ldybastet]

Mostly Byakuya/Renji, but also Renji/Hisagi and Ukitake/Hisagi.

Kink meme? I should have a look at that! :D

[menage]

Thank you for this reminder! Your comment helped me realize that I'm writing this fic for myself. Of course I'd like others to receive it positively but this is a fic I'm writing because it's the kind I wanted to read but that the fandom didn't have. I just want to meet my own standards and if it happens to hit the sweet spots of someone else then that's just an added bonus.

Thank you!

[dhampyresa]

Thank you!

My daily output is usually about 1k, but I was honestly surprised by how easily the words came out yesterday/today when i did the experiment again, so I think I'm going to keep doing that and then write the remaining words at a more leisurely/scattered pace.

[wordstitch]

Wow 1k is really good for daily output! =D

[misslucyjane]

Thanks!

I did give it to a beta reader and she made some excellent suggestions, but I'm still flaily about it. It's such an intimidating prospect! My jerkbrain has been in overdrive about it.

[misslucyjane]

Thank you!

I finished editing two manuscripts. I haven't done any writing yet, but I'm planning on starting tomorrow. Well...later today.

[wordstitch]

Yay! Twe whole manuscripts done with editing sounds awesome =D

[kalloway]

Most of the week, I've been far too busy with work (and work-related exhaustion - I do large machinery repair, fabrication, etc), school, and start-up/mod-stuff for the community to tackle writing. ^^;;

Hopefully I can work on some stuff this weekend~

[wordstitch]

Wow, machinery repair and fabrication sounds really complicated!

Good luck this weekend! You can do it!! \o/

I started a course in Industrial Robotics at the beginning of 2014 and one of my instructors found me my current job. It's not solely robots, but a lot of hydraulics, electronics, welding, etc. It's complicated but pretty darned fun, too. I wish I'd started welding sooner in life.

Thanks! I've got 500 words on a fic that's been gnawing at me for awhile now, have three or four short things to type up, and a big bang fic to finish editing in case the posting claims post pops up. (Let me tell you how sick I am of editing this fic. Except I don't have words. I love the story but I am sooooo sick of staring at it. I wanted it done and posted and done and out of the pile.)
