Write Every Day: Day 29

I have decided that today is Self-Promotion Sunday. So link to anything that you have written that you would like to share! I'll update any links to the main post.

Comments

[sylvanwitch]

Thank you for compiling the charities list! That's awesome! And thank you for the self-promotion post. It's much appreciated.

Since the long-form James Bond/Q (Craig movies) story, "Homemaking," was my first shot at writing a genderqueer character and that led to the choices I made for my asexual protagonist in the original novel I'm writing now, I figured I'd share the link to that, if anyone's interested. It's here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/24030088/chapters/57817855

Today, I added 894 to aforementioned novel.

[the_siobhan]

Awesome! I look forward to reading it.

Well done on your words!

[badly_knitted]

Because I have nothing to laugh at right now, how about a couple of my silly bits?

A recent FAKE double drabble The Nut Affair - https://badly-knitted.dreamwidth.org/1575877.html

and a daft Torchwood ficlet Normal Is Relative - https://badly-knitted.dreamwidth.org/507285.html

Despite having a beastly day, it's been productive in the writing department, even though Office keeps saving everything as docx, which annoys me almost is much as trying to keep it from saving stuff to the cloud.

Nov 29th - 1528 words, a double drabble and a challenge fic.

[the_siobhan]

That's a respectable number of words. Well done!

[badly_knitted]

Thank you! It makes up for the day I only managed 250. I got mostly caught up with the weekly challenges.

checkin and self-promo

[brainwane]

537 words, yay! And basically all fresh ones, too.

Here is a thing I wrote I think people here might like: "The Uses Of History in Hamilton: An American Musical", which I wrote for Tor.com in 2015.

Re: checkin and self-promo

[the_siobhan]

Well done on your words!

[shadaras]

Self-promotion!! Constellations Traced in Summer, 30k MDZS/CQL fic about teenage Nie Huaisang having Gender Feelings, befriending Lan Wangji, and helping Wangxian happen. It is my favorite thing I've written this year, and I'm very proud of it.


Today I wrote words! Words words words. They're good words, I think?

[the_siobhan]

Well done on your words!

[nafs]

Day 29: Typed up everything that was left to type up. Reviewed two scenes that are related to / lead up to a scene I'm working on because I kept having the feeling that either this didn't quite go in sequence and/or I was repeating things that had already happened, and actually it's not nearly as bad as I thought. Proceeded to write another page of said scene.

[sakana17]

Day 29: Big edits!

[sanguinity]

Another 700-ish words, putting me within a couple sentences of finishing the story, hurrah!


Something I finished rather recently: Under the Guns of Rosas, canon-divergent Hornblower whump.

[cornerofmadness]

Hmmm most of what I've written this month isn't posted or is naughty. So let me share this which is a bit more accessible to all

Bound to Loneliness (Prodigal Son)

Got 2520 words today on a different Pson story

[yasaman]

Day 29: 432 words on my main WIP, plus 197 on my potential gift for a friend. It's still mostly just noodling around, but we'll see if anything comes of it.

[lferion]

Day 29 - 250 -- a post with meta about Elves and eclipses, and the start of a poem for the prompt Wreaths or Candles on the new DW tolkienshortfanworks community.

[china_shop]

30th: 132 words and I spent some time thinking about the fic and where it's going. Hopefully I can make some good progress tomorrow. *crosses fingers*

This is one of the treats I wrote for Trick or Treat Exchange recently: The Swells of High Tidesbury Manor (964 words, G-rated, original squid character).

[satoyan]

Day 29: another alibi nano sentence.

[firecat]

No new words today, but I posted two long exchange works to AO3 yesterday and today. Posting takes me for-fucking-ever.

Day 28: 790 words
Day 27: 875 words
Day 26: 2680 words

Days 22 - 29

[iberiandoctor]

Ah, promotion Sunday, the best kind of Sunday :)

Oh dear, this year I seem to have written fewer stories, but more words, and for more exchanges? Here's my most recent one, written for remix_revival - it's a Lucifer TV remix of Mere_Mortifer's Lucifer/Chloe S3 fix-it: The Devil Behaving Badly (the Better Angels of His Nature remix).

I somehow started some other treat over this period and 11,230 words fell out in nine days. Yay, I think! I also did more canon review on the fic I did plan on writing; I ordered a book on Amazon and it recently arrived, so I definitely see more reading in my future. It's been a fairly productive time. I hope you've had one too!

[the_siobhan]

Well done, sounds like great progress!

[the_siobhan]

Ha! Well done!

[the_siobhan]

Well done on your words!

[the_siobhan]

Well done on your words!

[the_siobhan]

Well done on your words!

[the_siobhan]

Well done on your progress!

[the_siobhan]

Well done on your words!

[the_siobhan]

Well done on sticking with the alibi sentences. :-)

[the_siobhan]

Well done on your words!

Re: Days 22 - 29

[the_siobhan]

Sounds like you've made great progress! Well done!

[luzula]

Oops, forgot to report in!

Wordcount for 29th of November: 700
Total wordcount on poly fic: 47,300

[silveradept]

Day 29 was more prewriting on some of my December writing exercise.

About the only thing I would think about promoting is the Giving of Grief itself, and that's really only interesting to people who remember the Dragonriders of Pern and are interested in seeing how the nostalgia filter that's fallen over the series is startlingly inaccurate compared to what was actually written. So it's a pretty niche audience. And will probably have a wordcount of near one million words (including excerpts) when it's all done, so it's not like it's an easy read.

[the_siobhan]

No worries, I'll add you.

Well done on your words!

[the_siobhan]

Holy crap, that's a hell of a project.

Well done on your progress!
