Write Every Day: Day 8

[the_siobhan]

Yesterday was supposed to be visit parent day, but his wife had some respiratory symptoms, so we put it off. Hopefully next week.

So as well as noodling around[1] with housework and bills and such, I spent my day off doing research. Which basically means watching old Peter Davidson[2] Dr Who clips on YouTube because I want to re-use one of his villains. Then I wrote 300ish words.

[1] See what I did there?
[2] I initially wrote that as David Peterson, and it took me the longest time of staring at it before I figured out why it looked wrong.

Ah, brains, why do they give us such a hard time? I spend forever trying to remember someone's name only to realise it's the wrong person anyway.

Feb 8th - 2574 words! A challenge ficlet, a double drabble for another challenge, and 5 ficathon fills.

Also 12 rows on my Aran jacket.

[the_siobhan]

I am SO BAD with names. It would be hilarious if it wasn't so embarrassing.

Well done on words and knitting!

[badly_knitted]

Names and faces, they do my head in >.<

Thank you!

Day 8: 300 words of longfic!

[the_siobhan]

Excellent work!

[sylvanwitch]

I hope parent’s wife’s symptoms abate post-haste!

On Day 8, we had all the errands, but I wrote 751 of tender honeymoon smut for “Ed and Ev Are Not in Love.”

[the_siobhan]

Doesn't sound serious but I'm cautious.

You know, I admire people who can write smut. I'm terrible at it.

[trobadora]

For the 8th: some Candy Hearts writing.

[the_siobhan]

Good work!

[nafs]

Will edit with word count later but am dying laughing at the idea of former premier David Peterson as the Doctor. Although his wife's an actress, isn't she?

ETA: Day 8 258 words

[the_siobhan]

I had to look that up, but apparently you're right. She had a spot in Forever Knight.

I have learned a thing.

Good work on your words!

[greylock]

Sio, it's Peter Davison.

:P

Feel free to tap my noodle. That's my era.
What are you doing with the Mara?

[the_siobhan]

See? Terrible with names.

Did I mention the Mara, or did you just figure it out?

[greylock]

It was my best guess. A memorable monster as a concept, and I couldn't see you going for the more traditional one-offs.
My other guess would have been the Mallus.

[brithistorian]

Today was mainly shoveling snow. I managed to save enough energy to write a little bit, but not much.

Day 8: 108 words of "Everybody Loves Lily."

[the_siobhan]

Oh yeah, I should... do that today.

That's a pretty good word count for being out of energy. Well done!

[cornerofmadness]

about 1K for day 8

[the_siobhan]

Lookit you go!

[china_shop]

Congrats on your 300ish words! \o/

8th & 9th: work on my candy hearts thing, and a little on a flashfic.

[the_siobhan]

See that's a big word count for me!

Well done! Looks like your arms are holding out.

Day 8: Er, I started late, stared at the screen for a while and fell asleep -- with my laptop open in my lap! -- and woke up stiff and hazy, so nothing got written except an alibi sentence. Sheesh. I got a lot of research done earlier in the day, at least.

Yay for your 300ish words! \o/

[the_siobhan]

Oh you poor thing! I laugh because I have absolutely fallen asleep at the computer.

Research counts, and I hope you come back to it better rested.
