November 2020 - Day One

Here is the place to tell us about your daily success (or the lack of it)!
May the magic be with us all!

That sounds like a lot of fun!

Prompts are good!

[identity profile] sallymn.livejournal.com 2020-11-03 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
Oh well done!

That's a huge amount, surely enough to cover two days :)

Thank you.

Thank you. I just got my 12 prompts, now it's on the the easy part. Well, at least some of them will hopefully be easy.

Always and I have 12 great ones now. :D

Ugh, three hours of sleep? I hope that you manage to catch up quickly.

Yeah, Monday wasn't fun even by Monday standards. I had made the mistake of checking my phone before bed and learned dreaded work stuff would be awaiting me on Monday so there went my sleep...

Short things are lovely, and a really good exercise in figuring out the core of the story you want to tell.

I'm sorry to hear that. TBG is retiring in two weeks and they've reassigned his job functions for the most part, so he's following me around like a puppy wanting to 'do things.' Sigh, I told him to start going through his stuff and getting rid of things... then he leaves me alone because that's the last thing he wants to do.

Hopefully, it was better last night..

Oh man, that sounds very exhausting! Gotta get through these two last weeks which will probably tax your nerves.

Yeah, but I usually do my writing early in the morning when he's still sleeping. Thankfully, his being more of a night person and me being a day person works out in my favor.

That sure helps, yeah!

Chin up and stay focused. I've got some wild prompts ahead!

[identity profile] akane42me.livejournal.com 2020-11-03 04:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Hee, I have stopped inviting that old hag to my writing sessions:D

[identity profile] akane42me.livejournal.com 2020-11-03 04:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks! I really want to finally get that WIP done:) Maybe this time!

[identity profile] akane42me.livejournal.com 2020-11-03 04:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, that's a cool way to look at it, it's a Drabble a Day!

Last pico I think was the first time I wrote every day. Whether it was a lot of new words or a lot of editing, or some days finger twiddling, I did write every day, and made some decent (for me) progress.

Good luck with your writing!

Thanks! So far, so good. (heh, two days in...)

[identity profile] akane42me.livejournal.com 2020-11-03 04:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh yay, it's speed-writing! *pats self on back* Thank you for lowering the bar to something that matches reality. That makes so much sense:)

[identity profile] akane42me.livejournal.com 2020-11-03 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks! I always wish I'd get more done but yup, I guess it's the going rate:)

[identity profile] akane42me.livejournal.com 2020-11-03 04:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Notes are good! Zoom is the place to be these days:) Good luck with your writing this month!

[identity profile] akane42me.livejournal.com 2020-11-03 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah, some days are like that, when writing time gets taken up by posting and organizing writing-related stuff.
So it's all writing:D

What!! you have a next challenge already??
Go, you!

[identity profile] akane42me.livejournal.com 2020-11-03 04:51 pm (UTC)(link)
That's a very good deal of writing, good going.

Now that Halloween's past, the Yuletide assignments arrive:)

Good luck with your projects!
