Another 400 or so words, but mostly answering e mails today...

Granddaughter is napping. I took a 20 minute break, then settled in and got in over an hour on the WIP. Putting the finishing touches on a couple of scenes, then I'm at the final scene, which is in first draft shape, but I still hope to finish the story by this pico's end:)

400 words is great in my world:) Good going!

Have a lovely weekend!

Words are words!

Great.

Too bad. Good luck with the rewrite.

I noodled around all day reading something I wrote 10 years ago. (Actually it was pretty good - I am surprised, as I hadn't read it since!) But then made myself open the Word document and at least write something, about 10.30 pm (Thank goodness for Pico!). And I realise that now, at 12.15, there are another 800 words or so written. And the character has made up her mind about something that even I wasn't sure about until I began to type!

Go you!

It is surprising how much you can do in an hour, if the ideas are here!

I hate it when there is something that is sticking. I admire your ability to move past that point and carry on with the story - I find I just grind to a halt and don't get anywhere until I can make the stuck bit work.

Wrote 200 words on a new fic idea today! This one with soulmarks. I might work a little more on the bed & breakfast AU tonight, but since I sent the long fic off to beta today, I'm letting myself take it easy.

Good work! 400 words is great!

[identity profile] candidlily.livejournal.com 2020-07-25 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
Excellent progress! You can do it!

[identity profile] candidlily.livejournal.com 2020-07-25 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
I know how that can be. Keep at it and eventually your brain will work through the earlier stuff. Good luck!

[identity profile] candidlily.livejournal.com 2020-07-25 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
That's excellent! Sometimes revisiting old work can be helpful.

[identity profile] curiouswombat.livejournal.com 2020-07-25 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you. I found I could enjoy it as a good read because I no longer knew every word of it!

[identity profile] curiouswombat.livejournal.com 2020-07-25 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
Well done! Hurrah for getting the long fic off to your beta, and on starting something new. I find those opening words can be really difficult to get down.

[identity profile] spikesgirl58.livejournal.com 2020-07-25 12:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks! I'm trying to keep the pace up.

You, too! Hope it cools down a bit for you!

[identity profile] spikesgirl58.livejournal.com 2020-07-25 12:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks! I would have loved a bit more, but it was that sort of day.

[identity profile] spikesgirl58.livejournal.com 2020-07-25 12:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, yes they are. :D

[identity profile] spikesgirl58.livejournal.com 2020-07-25 12:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you!

Thanks! It was just a drop in the bucket, but at least it was something.
