Write Every Day: Day 2

[the_siobhan]

Saturday is chores day. Yesterday I did laundry, got caught up on some of the piles of dishes left over from the week (because I couldn't run the dishwasher with frozen pipes), made an appointment to get an energy audit done on the house and started sorting out the piles of paper I've been shoving into a folder labelled "taxes".

And then I wrote a couple of paragraphs while a cat sat on my lap and did his best to keep me from using my hands for anything that wasn't petting his ears.

I expect today to be more of the same.

Glad the pipes unfroze!

For the 2nd: I had a brainwave, so I'm currently rewriting a section of my holly_poly fic in a way that will hopefully make it better. *g*

[the_siobhan]

It got well below -10 on the weekend, so I think that means they're good now. To my great relief.

Gotta love those surprise brainwaves! Well done brain!

while a cat sat on my lap and did his best to keep me from using my hands for anything that wasn't petting his ears.

Relatable.

Day 2: 318 words which I've just dragged out right at the end of the day because I was determined to do something damn it.

[the_siobhan]

It is the way of cats.

I always do my writing at the end of the day. Plus side is that I don't have any other claims on my time, down side is that I'm often utterly dragged out and incapable of putting two words together.

Well done on getting some words out!

[sylvanwitch]

Your Saturday sounds like mine, in the busy-ness department. Our Saturdays are always for visiting my mother in the home and then running ALL the errands, since T. works on Sundays, and I work M-F. I appreciate that your cat let you get some words in. :-)

On Day 2, I added 168 words to that weird western short story I mentioned. I still have no idea where it's going, but I think I made it a little clearer where it's already been.

[the_siobhan]

My cat is a benevolent (if vocal) dictator.

I like the sounds of your story. Well done on words!

[badly_knitted]

That sounds like a very busy but productive day!

Feb 2nd - 2497 words, a triple drabble, more work on yesterday's fic (which still isn't finished) and 4 ficathon fills.

[the_siobhan]

Sounds like you were also very busy. Well done!

[badly_knitted]

Thank you! The ficathon is only on for another week, so I'm trying to make the most of it while still keeping up with my regular challenges.

1st to 3rd: grindingly slow work on my candy hearts fic (and not only that, but my arms are starting to give up again, argh).

[the_siobhan]

Oh ugh, I'm sorry to hear that. I get RSI in my wrists, and it's the worst.

Well done on getting some words out regardless.

[nafs]

An extremely helpful cat with Correct priorities.

Day 2: I managed a page.

[the_siobhan]

He certainly thinks so.

Go you!

[sanguinity]

Feb 2. Wrote!

[the_siobhan]

Yay! \o/

[yasaman]

Hello, thanks for hosting this month!

Days 1-2: alibi sentences only for me, I got my wisdom teeth out a few days ago and I'm still not up for much other than playing Stardew Valley. (should not have put getting rid of them off until my 30s ;____; )

[the_siobhan]

Oh yikes. I remember my wisdom teeth, they were awful. Like you I got them out in my 30s

I hope you heal up well and congrats on getting some alibi sentences out regardless.

[brithistorian]

Sounds like Saturday was a productive, if not exactly fun day.

Day 2: 462 words of "TWICE as many alphas," which put me at the end of chapter 81, so I posted it. Also today I finished making my first K-pop doll (https://brithistorian.dreamwidth.org/1932892.html). ^_^

[the_siobhan]

You know, I honestly don't mind dishes and laundry. It's cleaning floors I absolutely loathe (and probably put off entirely too long).

Well done on writing! And I saw your doll, it's very cute.

[cornerofmadness]

Day 2 - 1070 words on two hazbin hotel stories

[the_siobhan]

Go you!

[cornerofmadness]

thanks

[sakana17]

Day 2: Several paragraphs and some editing.

[the_siobhan]

Go you!

[carenejeans]

Sounds like a busy day! Yay for unfrozen pipes and boo for taxes (I'm working on mine too).

Day 2: 577 words, and some more notes & files organization.

[the_siobhan]

I get to claim a proportion of my house expenses since I work from home, so step one is always tracking down a year's worth of bills.

Well done on your writing!

[ysilme]

Yay for your writing, cat or not! ^^ Writing around cats is one of my permanent issues... I'm keeping a small cardboard box besides my keyboard and mostly manage to coax them to go in there, although the girls always insist on intense cuddling episodes before that, with a full focus on them. XD

Checking in for days 1+2. I had to give over a lot of my usual focus on writing to current real-life demands (renovating a house, you know only too well about that! - thankfully not ours, though), so I'm currently also not counting words, just aiming at doing some proper writing every day, even if it's nonfic.
Day 1 was just an alibi sentence of meta for a current drawer WIP, day 2 actually produced a nice chunk of story draft.

[the_siobhan]

I have a chair right next to mine for that purpose. Sometimes it works as a distraction.

Well done on your writing! Yes I very much know how house renos can suck up All Of The Time. :-p
