Nothing for me. But I made a cake and did some paper embroidery, so the day didn't go without some creative activity, at the very least.

Baking and crafting are really good ways to occupy your hands while your muse is resting:)

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Indeed. And the immediate results are very satisfying.

A cake is always appropriate.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Isn't it? Every Hobbit would agree.

I saw the picture of your cake and it looked plenty creative! and good!! You've been so busy with your mum, a short rest from the writing is OK!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't call six days a short rest but thank you nonetheless. :)

Day 24: One hour this morning and two more this afternoon working on a new opening scene and random pokes with a sharp stick in other areas. A little more very slow progress.

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

Wow, go you.

[akane42me.livejournal.com]

It's going! I would love it if I could manage to go a little faster:)

As Gandalf would say, it takes as long as it takes and not a minute longer...

[akane42me.livejournal.com]

LOL a very wise wizard, indeed:)

It's tough when the story moves so slowly. But you'll have something good at the end, even if you don't see it now--and the readers won't know the struggle that went into it.

[akane42me.livejournal.com]

Well, everything will be spelled correctly, it does have that going for it.
This has really been a struggle. Just pounding square pegs into round holes, for days on end.
I need to keep going with it, though, and maybe something with a little heart in it will develop.

Notes today. Crazy busy day.

[elmey.livejournal.com]

At least you got your notes done. Always a plus.

[akane42me.livejournal.com]

Notes = words:)

Here's hoping the crazy day today doesn't repeat itself tomorrow.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Notes are words, too. Not to mention important.

I wrote 2600 words of notes today. As before, this won't necessarily translate to the fics themselves, but they did help me understand for at least 2 of my WIPs where I am heading, so it's all good.

[elmey.livejournal.com]

That's quite a chunk of notes! I do that too at times, just jot down what occurs to me about the characters and the situation to help me clarify their reactions and the path forwards. It's helpful to write it down, it's helpful to be able to ho back to it as the story develops.

[akane42me.livejournal.com]

Very awesome amount of writing. Everything you write in those notes is a good, solid amount of development work, clarifying your direction. So — very good job!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

That is great!
