So my Sunday was actually a very productive writing day.

I got started on my exchange fic (the designated November project) on Saturday evening and probably wrote some more on it after midnight since I sat on it until very late. Then I got 150 words or so in on Sunday proper, I've made a deal with myself I must write at least 100 words on it daily, then I'm allowed to poke at other things.

So then I edited another ficlet and started another one for a ship week, I got 1600 words written on it.

That's probably more writing than I have been done all October so I'm pretty pleased.

Downside: I only got 3 hours of sleep last night so I expect today's word count will be 0.

You know how it goes: there are good days and less good ones - don't lose your courage!
BTW, new fandom? *points at icon*

[artemis10002000]

Yes, that's from The Untamed, the fandom I'm writing for right now.

So that's why it seemed so familiar! elwenlj, who's on my flist, has recently discovered the series and is completely in love with it.

[artemis10002000]

Oh yes, that makes sense! It's been my main fandom since I watched it last... November, December? Wow, how has it been a year already, 2020 really has just breezed by.

You're allowed extra sleep after all of that :) Sounds like you're going to have a very productive pico!

[artemis10002000]

Thank you! And I hope so, too. Even as is, it's already been far more productive than I could have expected. I have barely written anything at all this year, compared to the previous years.

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

[artemis10002000]

Thank you!

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

[artemis10002000]

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...

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..

[artemis10002000]

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

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

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.

[artemis10002000]

That sure helps, yeah!

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

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

You already have done more writing than in all of October! WOW! That's a fast start to pico, great going there.

I hope you got a nap in:)
