Weekly Check-in

[misslucyjane]

Welcome to your weekly check-in. (Sorry I forgot August.) This is where you can update us on your progress, ask for prompts or a deadline, or just commiserate about writing.

Totally optional: without explanation or context, share the latest sentence you've written.

I was doing pretty well but then depression hit. I'm trying to plow my way through it, but it's hard. I am writing a little tonight, though.

last sentence, just written before I opened this post:

"It's not necessarily a bad thing," Chris admits. "I'm just not used to it."

Last weekend I wrote 3,000 words! It was nice to have two basically uninterrupted days, because I thought I would multitask, do a bit and then play a game and then come back, but instead I just... kept going.

That brings the total I've written for this fic to 20k, all in August (more or less). Holy crap. I don't think I've written that much in this short a time, like, ever.

Of course, this is not even remotely on any of the WIPs that I was intending to finish this year! A wholly new project. Still, I'm happy to be writing. It feels really good. It's been a hard year and this (extremely self-indulgent) story is just what I needed.

I forgot a good chunk of August, too. ^^;;

Working on an exchange fic, and also ficlets for luxken27's annual prompt tables. Been doing a lot of RPing, too, which I haven't done in ages and I apparently am full of words and people that I need to get out.

I think I pretty much skipped August, too, with not much writing going on. I did manage to get my Remix done, though, and one origfic piece for a prompt, and am now getting back into things (hopefully) with a AU Meme. Which is what I've just been writing, so my last sentence is fairly random:


The boy’s gaping, horrified expression was, even Vetinari felt, somewhat amusing.

Ugh - I've been unplugged an unmotivated for months - haven't typed a creative word - time to get myself in gear because NaNoWriMo is just around the corner.

oh and I signed up for 2 more bingo cards - d'oh!

I wrote some fic and got jossed! But I am upbeat as it means I have a Muse:)

Now that my Big Bang is done and sent off to the artist who's doing art for it, I'm back to my monster. I had a little issue with the last chapter, mainly having to do with moving the plot along without giving away too much, but I've worked it out and things are going much better.

I laughed with the whole "last Line" thing, because my last line before I went to bed last night was:



With tongue.

[innitmarvelous_og]

Still trudging along on the one big epic fic I have going. It's reached 250 words and is nearing 80,000 words!

Here's the last sentence I wrote:

But the entire incident still bothered Steve because they... because he had failed to be there when his teammate... his friend needed him to be.

Since I'm only halfway through my day, this week's word count is tentative: 10,548

Last sentence written:
“I'm supposed to be using the walker,” Griffin whispered to his little brother, “but we can make it a few feet together, okay?”

[samuraiter]

To put it mildly, I had a rough month in August, so what little writing I have been able to do has been short.

[osidiano]

I got some feedback on part of a chapter that was giving me trouble, and now I just need to sit down and word-vomit the missing narrative so I have something to edit into shape. I've also managed a few snippets of a sequel project I'm not supposed to be working on yet, and two more possible-openers for the next chapter of my Big Fic. I forgot my iPad and keyboard at home, though, and I can't physically write as fast as I type, so it has been slow going.

I may sign up for a fandom aid project to help out Hurricane Harvey victims, but I'm waffling. It's a good cause, I'm Texan and we have family in Houston, but I'm not great with deadlines, so I'm nervous about offering fic...

Last sentence I wrote was:
His hand slides down the asset's body again. "It's okay, you're okay."
