Just a couple of paragraphs for me today; tiny, tiny steps, but at least in the right direction.

Excerpt:

This was the right thing to do, he firmly believed that; and he’d go the way to the end, regardless of the costs.

Because he knew it would cost him. Angelus wasn’t known to grant favours out of the goodness of his undead heart.

Ominous!

Well done on the progress.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

It will be a slightly creepy situation, but no real danger for Michael.

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

Any progress is good progress, especially if they are words you are happy with.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Actually, I am. *is pleased*

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

Tiny steps are still steps.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

My thoughts exactly.

Well, I need to have another look at the manuscript that I am in the process of editing, and print off a few more pages.

Funny thing is when I edit my work, I tend to think, "Did I really write that sentence?"

I also wish I'd used double line spacing so I could expand on sentences a lot easier.

[ylla.livejournal.com]

In a good way or a bad way? Occasionally I come across things that I have no recollection of being *able* to write, which is an odd feeling.

Can you double space everything now before printing?

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

I know the feeling of wanting room... I print editing copies with huge margins and double spacing (old the backs of old junk paper) so I can get in there with my coloured pens :)

"Did I really write that sentence?"
:D

[aeris444.livejournal.com]

I'm jumping on the bandwagon... But today, I wrote! And that's a great success for me!

[ylla.livejournal.com]

Woohoo!

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

Well done! Any writing is good :)

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Welcome to the party, and congratulations to your success!

What I could do with doing tonight is sorting out the photos that I would put in some of the posts if wordpress would let me, so that I had a structure to work around. Of course, this is not what I'm doing at all...

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

How aggravating... I hope wordpress will start behaving soon!

Too distracted by football. 118 words of walk report.

About halfway through, and well away from the water, I was suddenly confronted by a random duckling - mum did turn out to be hiding in the heather, but it seemed an odd place to bring up a duckling family.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

I think you weren't the only one distracted by football. Alas, the teams I fire on usually lose. I'm a total jinx.

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

That's understandable, I saw the way people were on twitter...

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

Argh! Good luck.

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

Managed to do some brainstorming in preparation for my studies staring tomorrow (I have a zoom at 9 am tomorrow, which should set up the week... or not)

This week was a bit of a wash-out writing wise, but nothopeless, so I'm hoping for better next week.

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

Good luck with this week.

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

It's going better because they are making me write something even if it's discussion and exercises :)

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

:D

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

As long as it isn't hopeless, you can still go on. Good luck!

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

The exercises we are being given are helping :)

[candidlily.livejournal.com]

526 words today to wrap up my Harry/Draco story! It won't be posted for a while (it's for an exchange), but I'm happy to have the draft done and off to beta readers!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Every draft done is a great relief, isn't it? It must be nice to have steady beta readers.

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

Yay! That's such a good feeling, isn't it?

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

I wrote an email reminding people of a meeting. lolol

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

If those people have the same sieve-like brain as I, then your e-mail was a life-saver. *g*

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

Emails are writing :) We tend to underestimate the amount of writing we do at work...

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

Good point. :)
