Write Every Day: Day 1

Welcome to Write Every Day, February edition.

I tend to do my writing at end of day, so I'm usually adding my updates for the day prior. However you do it is fine, but please post your comment to the most recent entry and add the date so it's easier for my date-adverse brain to keep organized.

Feel free to talk about your goals for this month! I am actually writing fanfic for the first time in my life. I wrote a couple of pages as a piece of character development for an RPG I'm playing and the thing took over my brain and now I'm writing the whole story. I'm having a lot of fun with it.

I'm glad you're enjoying writing your fanfic!

1 Feb.: 1530 words of "I Don't Like Your Girlfriend — Remix." Finished and posted chapter 47. Not one of the best chapters, either in the original or the remix (though I do think the remix improved it), but the only way to get from chapter 46 to chapter 48 is through chapter 47. Besides which an event in it sets up events for the next couple of chapters.

That's always my downfall, the filler chapters that take me from one plot point to another. Well done on getting it finished.

Learning how to deal with "walking chapters" has been a recurring struggle for me — figuring out what can be skipped, what has to go in because it contains necessary events, and what could be skipped but should probably go in anyway because it shows character or setting.
