Write Every Day: Day 13

[the_siobhan]

I was so stiff this morning I could not get out of bed. I ended up having to do that yoga thing where you just... rock back and forth on your back until you get enough momentum to roll up onto your feet. I'm sure I looked absolutely ridiculous. Mobility has been increasing over the course of the day as I move around though, so I'm sure now it's just a strained muscle.

And I did manage to get a little bit of writing done yesterday while I was chilling - maybe about 250 words? So that feels like an accomplishment. I figure a strained muscle is a good excuse to take it easy this evening, so I plan on doing the same tonight.

Oh dear, I hope the muscle gets better soon! Definitely take it easy.

Day 13: Feeling a bit better today, I edited the first two chapters of my Flight of the Heron/White Cockades fic. The end is in sight...

[the_siobhan]

Thank you! It's already feeling better today.

Well done on your progress!

[sanguinity]

That sounds painful! I'm glad your mobility has improved throughout the day, but ouch!

Aug 13: 1079 words, and a COMPLETE FUCKING DRAFT BABY. I've been working on this story since January 2020 (with breaks for another 166K of published stories, since I'm usually a many-projects-in-rotation writer), and I made a big push this year to get it finished. AND I DID. I HAVE A COMPLETE DRAFT. AT LONG FUCKING LAST. 95K words, the longest thing I've ever written!

(Still a ton of work to do to get it ready for publishing, of course, but I did my first revision pass last month, and I should be able to get it all published this year! Woo-hoo!)

[the_siobhan]

WHOO HOO! Well done!

I think celebrations are in order. :-)

[badly_knitted]

Ouch! Yes, definitely sounds like you strained something. A very good excuse for resting.

Aug 13th - 1248 words. A 1k challenge fic, and some editing on an older fic late last night when I should have been in bed.

[the_siobhan]

Lol. I do my best writing when I should be in bed.

Go you!

[badly_knitted]

Thank you! I don't usually, but sometimes I sneak in a bit of editing...

[shadaras]

Definitely take care of your body first! <3

Day 13: ...almost 3k? Huh. I was busy most of today, too!

[the_siobhan]

Wow, that's impressive. Go you!

[chanter1944]

160 words for day 13. :)

[the_siobhan]

Well done!

[sylvanwitch]

I hope the rest has helped and the stiffness and strain have eased.

I wrote about 200 (?) words or so today, largely a narrative outline of the ending, which has changed somewhat from my original ideas for it. I also took out a bit here and there to make the new idea work. Of course, I still have to actually end this thing. Lol!

[the_siobhan]

Thank you. It's definitely improving every day.

Well done on your progress!

[cornerofmadness]

driving back to OH ate up my time but allowed me a lot of plotting time. I did get 380 words on Digging Up Bones

[the_siobhan]

Plotting is important too! Well done on your progress.

[cornerofmadness]

indeed it is, thanks

[ljm]

Day 13: 757 words

[the_siobhan]

Go you!

[lferion]

13 Aug - 110 words on TRSB

[the_siobhan]

Go you!

[yasaman]

Day 13: 106 words on WIP 1, a net of 80 words on WIP 2 which is finished but for some additional tweaks/edits, and 545 words on WIP 3!

[the_siobhan]

Go you!

[greylock]

That sounds fucking terrible. And not at all normal.

[the_siobhan]

Wasn't fun. It's better today though.

[ysilme]

That sounds even more ouch, poor you! But go you for writing despite that; I hope the stiffness/strain improves and the writing keeps going!
158 words for me, though not on one of my WIPs; while swimming I was assaulted by a pernicious plotbunny related to a very recent event in my main fandom circle and wrote a rough draft of this down. The plan was to actually write the story later, but then a beer festival happened at the castle parking ground which is a bit above our ground level and about 350 yards away, and once darkness fell and I was settling down to write, their music became so loud and intrusive I couldn't focus on anything (not even watching some mindless stuff on YT as I couldn't hear anything above the music, and I can't wear headphones due to my tinnitus). /o\

[the_siobhan]

Fortunately it doesn't seem to impact my typing.

Yikes, that sounds unpleasant. We have a music stadium close enough that I can identify who's performing, but no so loud as yours. I hope that was just a one-off.

[china_shop]

14th: a mod post, and a little bit more than an alibi sentence on my fic.

[the_siobhan]

Well done!

[diamond_for_the_stare]

382 words of journal. Edited The Story. Looked over another story that had been sitting for a while. (Day 13, that is.)

[the_siobhan]

Well done on your words :-)
