Write Every Day: Day 6

[the_siobhan]

To the shock of exactly 0 people, the contractor was not done on Tuesday. I can hear them still thumping and sawing away in the basement.

Who knows what's going on down there at this point.

My usual practice is to do most of my cooking on the weekends. I'll throw together a meal that makes lots of left-overs and then graze on that for the following week. Bonus points if I can put some in the freezer so I can mix it up a bit. Last weekend I made a bean chili and that was dinner last night. Turned out pretty good if I do say so myself.

Trying to decide what I'll experiment on this weekend. Maybe something with noodles.

Another 100ish words last night while listening to bands recommended by Bandcamp. Speaking of which, Bandcamp is donating all their proceeds from Friday's sales to Musicares's fire relief initiative. I have a few items in my shopping cart ready for tomorrow.

Day 6: 400 words of longfic! Total wordcount: 77,500.

[the_siobhan]

Go you! That's a great total.

[trobadora]

Cooking on weekends makes a lot of sense! I usually just cook a big batch whenever I feel up to it, eat one portion and throw the rest in the freezer, so I always have a variety of meals to choose from. (I'm not much for leftovers.)

For the 6th: working on my candyheartsex fic.

[the_siobhan]

Cooking is a high-spoon activity for me. If I tried to do it on workdays I would just live on sandwiches and takeout.

Good work on wording!

[sylvanwitch]

Thank you for the Bandcamp tip--that's good to know! I hope whatever your noodles turn out to be, they are delicious and comforting. :-)

On Day 6, I added 225 words to "Ed and Ev Are Not in Love."

[the_siobhan]

I'm thinking this one. I have some bok choy I could put into it.

Good work on your words!

[sylvanwitch]

Mmmm, that looks so tasty!

[badly_knitted]

I hope your basement will be finished soon, it's been going on a loooong time!

Feb 6th - 2213 words, a challenge ficlet, final edits to my crossover fic, which is now posted, and 5 ficathon fills.

[the_siobhan]

I knoooow! Doesn't sound like they're here today so I'll have to go down and check on their progress.

Good work on your word count!

[badly_knitted]

Thanks!

Hope the work won't take too much longer. *fingers crossed*

[miss_squiddy]

Fail day! Had to go and run an event and didn't get home until late.

[the_siobhan]

Good luck for the rest of the week!

[shadaras]

Day 6: ~750 words of fic + text rp

[the_siobhan]

Good work on wording!

[nafs]

ooh bean chili! Sorry that you are still infested with contractors. Hopefully they will finish and disperse for outside jobs when it gets a little warmer.

Day 6 80 more words on the idfic

[the_siobhan]

Lol. I love how you make them sound like bugs. I'm starting to feel that way about them myself.

Good work on wording!

[china_shop]

7th: 700 words of a back-up candy hearts fic, in case my betas say dire things about my main one. /dork

[the_siobhan]

Lol. I'm impressed. have a hard enough time working on one thing.

Good work on wording!

[sanguinity]

Feb 6. Words!

[the_siobhan]

Yay words!

[brithistorian]

Hope the contractor gets done soon!

Day 6: 497 words of "You Can Tell..." Starting a new chapter, trying to move things along, but not too quickly.

[the_siobhan]

OMG mneeee toooo!

Good work on wording!

[cornerofmadness]

sorry about all the work (but yeah no real surprise on the contractor)

Day 6 1405 on another halfamoon story and it's posted

[the_siobhan]

He's never made a deadline yet, why would he start now?

Good work on wording!

[cornerofmadness]

I think missed deadlines are in their dna

[yasaman]

Day 6: caught up with my word count goal, with 1,720 words today!

[the_siobhan]

That's fantastic! Well done!

[carenejeans]

Day 5: 538 words
Day 6: 334 words (mostly whining)

Ugh, I hope the contractors are done soon! There have been people thumping and sawing next door to our bookshop for at least three weeks, and by next door I mean we share a wall. That's bad enough, let alone having it going on in your own basement!

[the_siobhan]

My neighbours built a whole third floor on their house in less time than this has taken.

Good work on wording!

[greylock]

I only did 3400wm today.

I'll throw together a meal that makes lots of left-overs and then graze on that for the following week

I used to do this, but I got tired of eating the same thing. I figured out a lot of 15 minute meals.

[the_siobhan]

"Only". I roll my eyes at you sir.

I have a chest freezer, so if I make things that can be frozen I can mix it up a little. Most of the chili will go in there so I can pull a container once a week or so and not get bored.
