[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

First of all, ladies, let's celebrate ourselves! Happy International Women's Day!
The rest is routine. ;)

This is the place to tell us about your daily success (or the lack of it)!

May the magic be with us all!

Last night I tried to nudge the plot forward a bit. Wrote a paragraph, then tore it up. Rewrote the paragraph — I tentatively hope it might work this way. Now if I could only figure out how to nudge the plot further forward! It is so little left to be written, but it's like pulling teeth. *sigh*

Oh damn, being stuck like that is annoying. I hope you can get past that hurdle soon. Any way to skip this tricky spot and get back to it later?

Oh I know the feeling — good luck with it.

I always find the end hard (if I'm writing something with actual plot, which doesn't happen all that often) because the storylines have to be wrapped up and all threads settled. I hope you get it all sorted out!

[ylla.livejournal.com]

That sounds frustrating - good luck!

[akane42me.livejournal.com]

As frustrating as it must be, you're absolutely doing the right thing by rewriting it until it satisfies you!

Happy Women's Day everyone!

I have run my two trusty spellcheckers on chapter 4, which I think is gonna be all that I can manage today. I have been dragging myself through the day trying not to fall asleep.

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

Spell checking is an important part of the process. I still find people who write about horsemen reigning in their horses.

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

Spellcheck is our friend — even if sometimes a not very bright one, I hate to think what I'd do without it.

[ylla.livejournal.com]

I mostly write the wrong real words, which are the worst to catch!

[akane42me.livejournal.com]

Whatever you manage is a good accomplishment, and doubly so on a day you've had to drag yourself through!

My 250 words on paper yesterday have been polished, added to and extended so that I finally added around 500 to the version on the computer. I was really happy with that.

[artemis10002000]

You can be proud of yourself!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

And rightfully so. That is really nice progress.

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

Yay! Well done!

[ylla.livejournal.com]

Well done :)

[akane42me.livejournal.com]

Good progress! That's a great amount of words to end up with after the initial 250 on paper.

I haven't written a word since the beginning of the month :-(

[ylla.livejournal.com]

I make 11 right here :)

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

Blocks happen... try again tomorrow, even if it's only brainstorming!

(Or shopping lists...)

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

That's okay. A few words here is fine. :)

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

I sorta failed all round, didn't do the writig I planned but I did do some of my studies reading and posting, and spent several hours fighting with one of our laptops to get the new virus program to work properly (the problem wasn't it, it was me, but do you think that made me any happier?)

But I did do — no let me be honest, overdo — the name research :)

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

Some work is fine. *nods*

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

Happy Women's Day!
Clinic notes and comments for me. Will write in journal tonight.

[ylla.livejournal.com]

Useful words!

[akane42me.livejournal.com]

209 new words today.

[ylla.livejournal.com]

Good going!

[ylla.livejournal.com]

Still here. No brainpower last night, 103 words which can hopefully be turned into something readable later.

This was also the age of the Linnaean system – a simple if artificial way of classifying plants by their numbers of stamens and pistils.

Hey, words are words!
