May the magic be with us all!

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.

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!

Still sounds like a full day, though!

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.

That's a very good writing day!

[artemis10002000]

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

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I was very pleased.

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

[akane42me.livejournal.com]

Awesome! I am amazed by your progress.

[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.

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]

Yeah :( I kept needing it for work so I postponed it time and again. Now I'm stuck doing it during Pico.

[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.

[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?

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

Thanks! It's going pretty well right now, touch wood. :D

[artemis10002000]

I'm thinking of trying to write on my tablet, though I don't know how much writing will actually happen there cuz of the touchscreen.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes. All my days seem quite full nowadays, actually.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I hope I'll be able to make at least some progress.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

That's what I keep telling myself.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

You are amazing!

[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).

Words are words! And I know what you mean about the weather. This continuous rain ruins my psyche, even without the ever-present worry about the frigging balcony!

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I have a hard time writing on mine.

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

I know the feeling.

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

Thanks! So far, so good.
