  Welcome/Intro Post

Hope everyone's week has gone well! Does anyone have a preference for what time I post these?

Let me know if I've missed you or if you haven't checked in for awhile so I can add you! You're welcome to join at any point. 

My check-in: Alibi sentence for me today. 

And sorry if I haven't replied to your comment yet - will do so soon! 

Comments

[shadaras]

like, I like seeing it on the earlier side because of my timezone/sleep habits, but no worries. :) pick the time that works best for you! (mostly I appreciate consistency, personally.)

Today I wrote a rough outline for an exchange fic.

[marvelouscity]

Yay, congrats on the outline!

Copy that - I'm planning to post them in the mornings starting tomorrow.

[alexseanchai]

so almost 4K of this google doc is not draft, but you still get why I did a happy dance at one-thirty this morning and took a screenshot of my word count at 100019

[marvelouscity]

Totally! Congrats on passing 10k! And hey, planning counts as writing even if it isn't necessarily seen in the final product.

[sylvanwitch]

No worries on the commenting, friend—real life is like a that! Also, I have no real preference for a particular posting time—whatever works for you is fine with me.😃

Today, I wrote a cover letter for, edited, formatted and submitted an original short story to a contest. One down, a bazillion to go. I’d somehow managed to forget how fraught the whole process is. Now I remember—lol!

[marvelouscity]

Nice job! Crossing my fingers for you. :)

[china_shop]

10th: Alibi sentence.

[marvelouscity]

Yay, alibi sentence!

[sanguinity]

Edited and posted the first chapter of a story.

[marvelouscity]

Wow, congrats!

[yasaman]

Day 9: just 173 words on the main WIP, and 503 words on the other WIP today!

[marvelouscity]

Nice work!

[carenejeans]

Day 9: Alibi sentence (and a bit of research).

I have no preference for when the posts appear, whatever works best with your new job will be fine with me.

[marvelouscity]

Yay, alibi sentence!

And thanks for the feedback. :)

[luzula]

I prefer early, but really, just do whatever works for you!

Wordcount for 9th of April: 800
Total wordcount on poly fic: 118,500

I managed to write early in the day instead of leaving it until late! Obviously it paid off.

[marvelouscity]

Wow, it definitely paid off! 800 words, congrats!

[satoyan]

It makes no difference to me when you post! <3

Day 9: alibi sentence.

[marvelouscity]

Yay for alibi sentences! And thanks for letting me know. :)

[lferion]

April 9 - two more drabbles to finish off the W bingo for the Silmarillion Writer's Guild March Challenge. Now I need to post all of them.

[marvelouscity]

Nice job! Congrats on finishing your bingo card!

[badly_knitted]

Doesn't matter for me, I'll find the post whenever, even if it's the morning after.

April 9th - 1214 words, a 500 word challenge ficlet and another 6 Doctor Who drabbles, 'cause I wanted something else to write but wasn't in the mood for anything that required a lot in the way of plot. Then editing on another old fic for posting.

[marvelouscity]

Sounds like another great writing day! Congrats!

[badly_knitted]

Thanks. I wrote more than I expected to.

[ysilme]

Alibi sentence of fic for me, plus abotu 700 words of nonfic.

[marvelouscity]

Nice work on both!

[silveradept]

Day 9 built some more paragraphs, and I think I managed to elegantly sidestep throwing penguins on one of my projects, although it technically then involves child endangerment, but those children were already going to be endangered, so it's an improvement, honest!

[marvelouscity]

Yay, paragraphs! I'm intrigued ... do you literally mean you avoided putting penguins in something you were writing, or is that a euphemism/metaphor for something that I've never heard of??

[silveradept]

Brian Henson, talking about Jim Henson and the Muppets, mentioned that getting out of being stuck often took the form of eating something, blowing something up, or throwing penguins. Sometimes I do blow things up in a narrative, but I usually use "throwing penguins" to mean any kind of situation where I just have to go "Look over there! A distraction!" and proceed with the narrative as if I didn't try to distract the reader.

[marvelouscity]

Haha, I see! Fun way to think about it.
