Do you want a place to be accountable for your daily writing, or to brag about what you've accomplished today? Whether it's outlining a new project, words written, pages edited, time spent writing or editing, post it here!  |

Wrote a couple of sentences in one of the chapters of the Rayearth fic I'm sprucing up.

I have been rereading a Transformers fic, sprucing it up and fixing up more of the errors that I couldn't catch the first time around. Today I did get about a page fixed up out of 7. Once I'm done sprucing up the written chapters, I can then finish the story.

I proofread the refitted chapter that was completed last night, managed to refit another chapter and am now sprucing up another one.

yay for progress! ;D I discovered today, in working over my outline for "Earthsinger," that as it is right now, every possible ending would require everyone to be stupid and avoid doing the most easiest and most obvious thing to defeat the bad guy.  So I've been doing all kinds of brainstorming to come up with a way to write this idea that won't inevitably lead to a stupid ending.  |

finished my revised outline for Earthsinger yesterday, and today I started writing. I got the prologue and part of Chapter 1 - over 1100 words! A lot of this was copy-paste-revise or re-type and revise, from the original version. But hey, it's more progress than I've made in a long time! ;D

Quite a bit today, actually. Finished a chapter that I started revising yesterday and then revised another.

I wrote about 550 words on Earthsinger. Actually, a lot of it was copy-and-paste-and-edit from old versions. But, again, progress is progress.

Yay! over 1200 words on Earthsinger! ;D Again, a lot of it was copy-and-pasted and then edited. I can't stand re-writing from scratch something that I've already written once, no matter how many edits I have to make in it.

a chapter a day of revising is a pretty good pace!
I didn't write yesterday, my brother who lives on the other side of the world (in Australia) is over here for a while, and he came to visit us yesterday. ;D It was really good to see him.

I tend to do that, too - write short and then add.

WE got home from vacation late afternoon/early evening yesterday (5:30 pm), but I still managed to revise 5 pages of Solaris. ;D ETA: actually, just 4 pages  but today it'll take me 6 pages to get to the end of the next scene, so it averages out to 5  |

Good work! Keep it up and you will be finished in no time. Myself, I manage to add 70+ words to chapter 15 of my YGO fic after finishing my Rayearth fic revision. |

I took the day off yesterday, which I usually do on Sunday. Today I revised what amounts to another chapter of Solaris, about 10 pages. |

I wrote around 121 words today to chapter 15 of my YGO fic after nearly 2 days of being lazy.

Every little bit counts I revised about another half of a chapter of Solaris (more than my 5-page-a-day goal, anyway) Also working on ideas for my western fantasy and Crystal Tokyo N/N fic. |

That's not a bad word count Revised about 8-ish more pages, more work on ideas for my other novels. |

Doing better and better! I did about 6-7 pages of revisions today. I also thought of an awesome title for my fantasy western: Beneath the Canyons |

some days are better than others, if you try to make a consistent effort it all averages out pretty good.
I did 6 pages of revision yesterday, need to do 8 today to finish the next chapter. I've already done 5 ;D

Yesterday I took out 26 words I had Sunday, so it subtracted a little from the Sunday word count..but I added 332 words. Today was 459 words.

I didn't write yesterday. One of my cats hadn't been feeling well, so I took him to the vet, and they sent us over to the veterinary specialty hospital because they thought he might need a bunch of tests. Fortunately, the dr. there gave him a thorough exam and decided there was nothing seriously wrong with him and he would probably be fine. So I spent several hours on that, and was exhausted afterwards. (my cat's doing much better now ) Then last night was the activty group I lead for girls age 8-11 at my church. So I had to rest up for that, and when i got home I was dead on my feet. But today I revised 7 more pages of Solaris. (My revision process includes marking the changes on paper, then typing them in.) |
