Write Every Day: February 9

[ofmonstrouswords]

good evening!

well, another late post from me today as I slept ALL DAY again. I blame Wikipedia this time; apparently last night I had to read every single entry on Roman deities. (fun fact: Fornacalia, the celebration of the oven and Fornax, the personification of the oven, is coming up on the 17th! bake some bread and give thanks for your oven!)

I think tonight I might take some melatonin at a reasonable time and try to actually sleep at night. if only because next week I have four shifts at work and I should be better prepared for that.

anyway. alibi sentence for me only yesterday; hoping today goes better.

how is writing going for you today?

It sounds like you're getting the rest your body needs, even if the sleeping is somewhat deity-induced. :-)

I edited two more chapters tonight.

[ofmonstrouswords]

...you would be surprised how often that happens to me. XD

I edited two more chapters tonight.

huzzah editing! \o/

[alexseanchai]

well, that's certainly a better thing to associate February 17 with than its main association in my head. bread next Wednesday it is!

I have added a few hundred more words to firelight and I think I've got the sequence of events of the rest of the fic straightened out in my head for real this time

[shadaras]

Good luck with your sleep habits?

Today I wrote a 1k exchange treat. :)

[ofmonstrouswords]

ahahaha, thank you, i do need it. XD

yay for words! \o/

[china_shop]

Aww, that sounds like a fun wikipedia dive, anyway. ♥

9th and 10th: I've just been writing dreamwidth posts, let's count that.

[ofmonstrouswords]

it was really fun!

and yes, definitely counting dreamwidth posts. added you to the tally!

[alexcat]

Got 2135 today...Finished one, revised one, wrote a drabble and worked on a WIP.

[ofmonstrouswords]

woot! lots of words!

[sanguinity]

Wrote a longhand page-plus at lunch. Don't like much of it, but I wrote it!

[ofmonstrouswords]

hey, that's okay, it's easier to edit words you don't like rather than words you haven't written! :D

[sakana17]

Day 9: I wrote 4 pages for a work assignment, and it'll have to do for today because my brain is exhausted. :(

[ofmonstrouswords]

totally counts! and sometimes we need to give our brains a rest -- hopefully yours gets a good nap!

[thevetia]

Tiring day, so I took a break and wrote a bit more on a new idea. Worked some more on the hardest part of the long story but ran out of inspiration.

[ofmonstrouswords]

working on new ideas can be a mini-vacation when it's too hard to work on the older ones. and sometimes they can give you inspiration for the other ones. :)

[yasaman]

Day 9: 1,303 words on what I'm gonna call a palate cleanser fic that I hope to wrap up in a few days before I get back to edits on my other draft.

[ofmonstrouswords]

yay for words on a palate cleanser fic! i love that term; i know exactly what you mean. :)

[cornerofmadness]

944 to finish one Prodigal Son story +611 on a long Pson story

[ofmonstrouswords]

huzzah! that's a lot of words! :)

[cornerofmadness]

[cornerofmadness]

[marvelouscity]

I finished my pilot!!!!!!!!! I ended up writing about 12 pages total today (including adding a couple pages to act 4).

Still needs a lot of work, but it's a finished draft!

[ofmonstrouswords]

YAY! THAT'S GREAT NEWS! *lights virtual fireworks for you*

[marvelouscity]

Thanks! :)

[lferion]

[carenejeans]

Day 9: 486 words, still ruminating & making notes.

I think I will celebrate Fornacalia! Thanks for the info. 8-)

Hope you are feeling better. Yay for getting in an Alibi sentence!

[ofmonstrouswords]

yay words! and yay thinking and making notes; those things are also very important!

I think I will celebrate Fornacalia! Thanks for the info. 8-)

you're welcome! i love telling people about little-known ancient holidays and the Romans had a bunch of great ones. XD

Hope you are feeling better. Yay for getting in an Alibi sentence!

thank you! i am feeling better physically and hopefully will have all my focus back by the end of the weekend. ^_^

[satoyan]

Day 9: a few nano sentences. Also some exchange fic writing.

[ofmonstrouswords]

huzzah for words! :D

[ysilme]

OMG yes, the research/Wikipedia/info craziness rabbit holes of the internet... I can totally relate! LOL At least it leads to hopefully useful background knowledge.
1,6k for me, with 1,4k for the exchange fic. It's finally starting to take off, which I wish had happened a week earlier so I'd have had time to acutally write all the ideas I have for this fic. As it is, I need to keep to the basic storyline to hopefully manage the deadline. Why am I doing this to myself again? *buries in snow heap*

[ofmonstrouswords]

Why am I doing this to myself again?

because...deadlines are a good exercise???? i think???? i'm really terrible with them myself so i don't know!

but you got a lot of words! huzzah!

OMG yes, the research/Wikipedia/info craziness rabbit holes of the internet... I can totally relate! LOL At least it leads to hopefully useful background knowledge.

it totally did! mind you any dive i do on mythology/deities will because i incorporate so much of them into my writing. :D

[badly_knitted]

I actually got to bed at a decent time last night, it was only midnight! Got to get up early tomorrow to take delivery of a load of logs.

Feb 9th - a massive 1321 words. One 500 word challenge ficlet, then I started another ficlet, for a different challenge, that's not quite finished yet. Got to finish and post that today.

[ofmonstrouswords]

huzzah for decent bedtimes and for massive word counts! go you! \o/

[badly_knitted]

Thanks! Went back to old habits again last night, didn't get to bed until 2.30 am then had to be up at 8 *sigh*
