Last week's writing went pretty well. I could motivate myself to sit down to write several times and most of the time I got some words written, too. I have done two short fanfic drabbles which have entered the beta-reading process now and got started on my story for the Playing with Fire anthology. Well, basically I have some sort of outline (in my ( Read more... )

This is a bit late, but I promise I'm only counting the words from last week. ;-) At the moment I'm feeling pretty creative, as in I have many ideas. Putting them down on paper (or my computer, really) hasn't worked as well, though. But not too bad, either, especially considering that I've been on a mini-holiday for half of the week where I didn't ( Read more... )

So last week I decided not to force myself to write if I didn't feel like it. Well, this was successful in that I wasn't feeling stressed out by the thought of having to write all the time. So, that's good? However, it also led (quite predictably actually) to me not writing very much. :-/

This week's word count was 350 words. Yeah, really not ( Read more... )

I know there are quite some people on my f-list who like statistics and numbers, so this roundup is for you. (Although I'm starting to feel I'm spending much more time writing about writing than on actual writing. But hey. ^^)

My total word count in January has been 4784 words. Considering my goal of writing 1200 words a week, I'd say that's not a ( Read more... )

I have to admit that this week's word count not only isn't as impressive as last week's, it also fails to reach the weekly goal of 1400 words I've set myself. But hey. At least I got some writing done!

This week's word count is 900 words, most of which were written today. Apparently telling myself I need to write when I don't feel particularly ( Read more... )

Since my New Years Resolution has been to write more, I've decided to keep track of my weekly word count. My goal would be to write 200 words every day (or 1400 words per week if I can't make the goal for one day). I'm not sure if that's reasonable, but I'd like to try! I even put some nice post-its on my computer screen to tell me my recent word ( Read more... )

... especially since I still had to finish my holmestice assignment... I feel a bit sorry for my recipient now because although the request was pretty awesome and I loved it a lot, I feel I haven't done a very good job actually translating my ideas into a proper story. Sickness hasn't helped at all ( Read more... )

Following the fine example of sherlockholmes, I'll list the deadlines of all the fests I'm participating in, just so I won't forget them. Maybe. One can hope. ^^

holmestice - November 23rd
sherlockmas - December 16th
yuletide - December 20th

Wow, writing has made me realize how close the holmestice deadline actually is already... o.O I mean, I got a really great prompt which I wanted to write the ( Read more... )

So, after some good feedback I received on the last world building post (and which I still have to think about...), here comes the introduction of my main character. I felt I didn't really want to talk a lot of about that character, give you descriptions and back story and stuff, but rather have the character introduce himself in a small drabble. ( Read more... )

So, here it goes with the world building for my big bang. :-) I'll probably put the actual writing under f-lock later (since it's all original), but I guess world building is safe outside f-lock for now (and may well be subject to change over the course of the big bang...). Also, you probably won't find that world building (at least in this long ( Read more... )
