Not a very productive day for me. I only managed to translate a few paragraphs full of fake, made-up scientific babble, as I got distracted by a not-so-small bit of crafting; plus I had my student in the afternoon. Not getting any younger, apparently.

No snippet today. I'm planning to type up as much as I can from the already written stuff tomorrow. Perhaps split the chapter in two short-ish parts, as it is getting a bit too long. Well, it was too long in the original already. But twenty years ago I was determined - for some unknown reason - to write no chapter that would be shorter than 18 pages. Don't ask my why.

Still sounds like a full day, though!

[artemis10002000]

Well, the crafting sounds like a fun distraction. Good luck with your typing things up tomorrow!

[akane42me.livejournal.com]

Your day sounds pretty busy. And you did get some writing work done, so that's a plus mark for the pico column:)

How do you translate fake babble? More fake stuff from the other language? :)

[ylla.livejournal.com]

Technobabble *and* craftiness. Sounds good to me :)

What are you teaching your student?

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

Another good writing day for me. I got a second story finished and a third one started for a combined word for of 1,742. Yay!

[artemis10002000]

That's a very good writing day!

[akane42me.livejournal.com]

Awesome! I am amazed by your progress.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

You are amazing!

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[ylla.livejournal.com]

Hooray!

Didn't get to any writing yet today since it's only 7 pm, but I did make some very big progress yesterday!

I wrote a draft for an (admittedly shorter end) fic for Star Wars Rare Pairs all in one go! That was such a glorious success since I have been fiddling at it all October, with several false starts. I also edited another shortish fanfic yesterday.

So. I'm super pleased and not too worried even if I end up not writing at all tonight.

Right now what bums me out for my Pico is that it looks like I'll be handing my laptop in for repairs this month (battery is broken, a repair I have been postponing for months since I constantly needed the laptop) so I'll end up being however long without. Which makes me all the more glad I got a draft for my assignment but. Still a bummer.

[akane42me.livejournal.com]

Congratulations on completing the draft all in one session! Good going, and all the better for working on the other piece's edits. You absolutely deserve to be feeling super pleased!

Bummer about your poor laptop. Never a good time for repairs, but during Pico, ugh.

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

Oh, no, nothing slows you down like a lap top in for repairs. Can you get a loaner from the library or some place else in the meantime?

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Congrats to the progress, it's great news! Let's hope the repairs won't last too long. *fingers crossed*

I've just read your reply above. I couldn't write on a touchscreen, either. Even the keypad of the laptop is killing my wrists. That's why I still use the good old desktop PC with its good old keyboard for writing purposes. Of course, I write almost everything by hand first, but the typing up is much more comfortable on a keyboard. Not to mention faster, as I use eight fingers for typing (thumbs didn't work out).

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

Good!

Oh no! {{{hugs}}}

[ylla.livejournal.com]

Yay for the story!

Boo for the laptop!

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

Yay! Well done!

[akane42me.livejournal.com]

I spent a good deal of time writing this and that this morning, none of it story related. I'm counting it as writing, but am not adding it toward my writing time goal.
Tomorrow I am going to work on a WIP if I haven't chosen a holiday story by then. No work on the 90 Day Novel exerccises, either.
Now it's time for tea and reading, in between doing the damned laundry.
It's snowing again. Which should be nice, but I was hoping for some sunny crisp fall days and instead we have gone over to grey winter without blinking.

[artemis10002000]

It sure counts as writing, even if it's not for your word goal! All writing is progress.

Enjoy your tea and reading time, though it's too bad about the snow fall.

I actually started the outline for my next blog post. It was actually 'due' last Thursday, but since work has been crazy I put it off. *shrugs*

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

Congrats, you! That is a big step in the write direction (pun intended).

[ylla.livejournal.com]

I still have no idea what to do with my Yuletide prompt, but for some reason this has given me all kind of other ideas, for things that no one wants me to write. I never have fic ideas!

Not that I have done anything with any of them yet, but you know, I could.

The knitting is growing - past 45%, but this means that I'm past the plain middle bit and into complicated lacy things, which is slow going because I have to look at it, and Concentrate.

Words are not growing very much - another ~100 on the walk report.

The path keeps to its original level as the valley below drops away, and ends up contouring the hillside - this is an unusual place for the Lake District, as I can't think of many large valleys so utterly empty.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Your knitting is like my crafting - always goes easier than writing, right? And gives immediate satisfaction, which is sorely needed sometimes.

[a-phoenixdragon.livejournal.com]

Alas, no words again yesterday...unless typing at work counts, lol!

[akane42me.livejournal.com]

Hee! To Do lists and Shopping lists count, too...

How about 15 minutes while relaxing with a cup of evening tea? Scribble random thoughts in a notebook and relax.
