Write Every Day: February 11

[ofmonstrouswords]

just a short post from me today; my sleep schedule is STILL all over the place. haven't yet been successful in righting it. I think the problem is late night is kind of "my time" -- always has been -- and so I find myself doing all the things I really wanted to do during the day at night. which leads to 7am bedtimes. and I'm not in high school anymore so I can't physically handle the all-nighter to right my schedule, so it's much harder to fix.

so, no writing yet; will hopefully get some words before bed (which will hopefully be earlier than 7am on the 12th, haha). as well as replying to comments -- just wanted to get this up before it got too late.

how about you? how is your writing going today?

I got like 900 words on the pinning Miraculous Ladybug to a calendar project, not counting any attempts to pin blame for this mess on the time-traveling character

[ofmonstrouswords]

huzzah for pinning to a calendar project, and for words! and what are time-traveling characters for if not to blame for the mess in calendars? XD

[sakana17]

Day 11: Lots more edits, including an added paragraph.

Ugh, sorry about your sleep schedule! :(

Day 12

[sakana17]

Checking in for Day 12: More editing, and wrote a lot of comments.

(Hope you're okay!)

Re: Day 12

[ofmonstrouswords]

aww, thank you, i'm okay, just...me.

yay for editing! got you for both days. :)

[sanguinity]

I worded some words!

[ofmonstrouswords]

huzzah for words!

[china_shop]

12th: another beta. One day I'll write again...

[ofmonstrouswords]

that is a song i have sung so many times (to the tune of "one day I'll fly away"). but huzzah for beta-ing! :D

[cornerofmadness]

Got 1176 words on the long Pson story. Not what I wanted to be working on but there you have it

[ofmonstrouswords]

huzzah for words, even if it wasn't what you planned/wanted to be working on! :)

[yasaman]

Day 12: 1,955 words today, and on track to wrap this up tomorrow!

[ofmonstrouswords]

hooray for words and being on track to wrap up!

[marvelouscity]

A few sentences on the fic I've been working on.

[marvelouscity]

And checking in for day 12 with an alibi sentence.

[ofmonstrouswords]

huzzah for words! got you on the tally for both days. :)

[thevetia]

Almost 400 words! I can see the end from here!

[ofmonstrouswords]

yay for the home stretch!

[carenejeans]

Day 11: A bit of editing, a wad of free-writing... Nothing substantial, but a tiny bit of progress.

I'm a night-owl too, and often do my best writing late at night. But, alas, I still have to get up at 7:00. even if I stay up til 3:00. And I haven't been in high school for a long time. ;-)

[ofmonstrouswords]

huzzah for editing and free-writing!

And I haven't been in high school for a long time. ;-)

heh, neither have i...but i keep forgetting my body doesn't want to do the things it did 17 years ago and trying to push it. it pushes back pretty hard, haha.

right now i'm working towards going back to school (for the third time, zomg) so i can get a promotion at my work to a thing where i'll be able to work from home...and thus, i hope, set my own hours. but it's a long process; right now being at a paper hospital means working from home options are limited!

[lferion]

Feb 11 - 200ish words, more on the last SWG NYR piece. I have a little more time to get it posted, for which I am grateful, and it feels like it has mostly come together. I want another pair of eyes to read it over as a sanity check, but it may be essentially done, once I come up with a drabble for the end.

[ofmonstrouswords]

yay for words, and for extra time for posting! :D

[satoyan]

Day 11: 265 nano words.

[ofmonstrouswords]

huzzah for words!

[luzula]

Hope you got some words!

Wordcount for 11th of February: 200
Total wordcount on poly fic: 86,600

Not that many words, which was not for lack of inspiration, but because my day was crammed and I was very tired. But also I made a recording with questions about the finished chapter, and sent to my beta.

[ofmonstrouswords]

huzzah for words! 200 is great on a day that's too full of stuff. (i only managed 136 on the 11th and i'm guessing my day was not as busy as yours. ;) )

and yay for making a recording to send to your beta; you got a lot accomplished! :D

[ysilme]

It seems I missed the check-in yesterday; it's been only 203 new words for the 10th, it's not been a good writing day. We were supposed to be at the funeral of our best friends' dad but couldn't make it due to the snow, but we kind of distance-participated with ligthing a candle and keeping quiet company at home during. Yesterday's been better and my story took properly off; 4030 words with most of them keepable, so yeah. Anyhoo, I need to finish today, so keep your fingers crossed for me if you've got a few minutes! XD
I can relate 100% to your sleeping issues, it's the same for me - with a slightly earlier bedtime, but I often go to bed when my husband gets up at 5.30. It used to be not as bad, but in that regard the lockdowns and self-isolations since nearly a year aren't good for me _at all_. Last year was better insofar as I could at least sleep well, but since New Year I'm also back with my occasional serious sleeping issues, and am chronically sleep-deprived.

i'm so sorry. <3

congrats on getting words done anyway -- that is super hard!

i absolutely did! :D

ugh, i totally know what you mean. *offers hugs* combination of lockdowns, depression (over...*gestures vaguely* everything), and needing to try to stick to a "normal human schedule" both for my puppy's sake and my ability to continue getting work shifts has meant chronic sleep deprivation for me too. oh, and painsomnia some nights, that doesn't help at all. (note to self: actually take your damn pain killer today.)

[badly_knitted]

Messed up sleep schedules suck.

Feb 11th - Despite the log delivery I managed 882 words. A 500 word challenge ficlet, and then I did some editing/expanding on a couple of existing fics that I wasn't entirely happy with.

Today I feel like my arms might fall off from lugging logs. Typing is more than enough physical activity for me today.

[ofmonstrouswords]

oof, log-lugging (i have to go do some of that in a couple of minutes myself). congrats on getting words done despite log delivery! and definitely give your arms a rest, sounds like they need it. <3

[badly_knitted]

Hoping to have a wheelbarrow by the next time I get a load of logs. My arms are still recovering.

[shadaras]

Feb 11 - a thousand words of fic :)

ETA:
Feb 12 - 500 words of fic so far; I am deeply unlikely to update this for the full total later because I'll forget, but I like checking in on the actual day of the post when I can...

[ofmonstrouswords]

huzzah for words! i got you down for both days. :)

[silveradept]

The writing went well today, the 11th, even if there's not much to show for it in terms of raw wordcounts.

[ofmonstrouswords]

yay for writing going well! and sometimes the best writing days don't have much of a wordcount associated with them; it's a funny thing like that!

[sylvanwitch]

I can definitely relate to being a night-owl in a day-walker world. *solidarity fist-bump*

Yesterday was my husband's bday, and I also got the second Moderna shot, so I was sort of bracing myself for unpleasant side effects, which I did not have last night (and am having now, instead, at work...oh, joy). Anyway, I edited one chapter instead of my usual two, but at least wording happened. ;-)

[ofmonstrouswords]

happy birthday to your husband!

yay for getting the shot, even if it had delayed unpleasant side effects. i hope they weren't too severe! i can't work after getting the flu shot; i need like a week to recover from the side effects i get from it; it's basically like having a mini-flu. (i'm being super cautious about the Covid vaccines as a result and will probably avoid getting them until more is known about specific reactions.)

huzzah for getting a chapter edited!
