November 2024, Day 23

[wiseheart]

Sorry for the late post. We had our 20-year-jubilee concert this evening and I got home late (not to mention half dead). But here we go:

This is the place to tell us about your daily success (or the lack of it).
May the magic be with us all!

In the morning I managed to secure enough time to rewrite the Foreword to "Hunter, Prey". I also did a bit of rewriting on Page 5 of the first chapter. Not many new words produced, but now I probably (hopefully) have better words, so I'm not complaining.

That's some good work done!

[wiseheart]

On a day like this it's quite the achievement, if I say so myself. ;)

Congratulations on the 20th Jubilee! I hope the concert went well!

I love how you describe that rewriting. Not many new words but probably better ones. I'm confident they are better ones:)

I am going through a lot of rewriting and I hope I'm not wrong in thinking it's improving:) 😄

I finished a first draft for my zine fic. The last fourth, especially that wrap-up scene at the very end that I wrote today, is extremely rushed and will need much editing, but I was restless to just force out a complete draft of whatever quality since I know next week work will be hell, plus I was uncertain if I'm getting sick (feeling a little better right now, but on the whole today was increasingly miserable.) So I just wanted to have something to polish in case my ability to produce new words vanishes.

Kudos to you for pushing the draft through to the end. I'm very impressed with your efforts! I am weak-willed when the going gets tough and tend to abandon things until RL improves! Not a good strategy for finishing my WIP😅

[artemis10002000]

That would be me too normally but I don’t expect conditions to improve before my deadline is due. I have to be done end of the month or early December at the latest

[akane42me]

Oof. Facing a deadline is definitely motivating to keep things going.
I hope you will be feeling better. Being miserable is ... miserable. Take care and good luck with everything.

I did some brainstorming for my Secret Santa but it didn't get me very far. So I did several more sentences on the Snowbug story, trying to work out a minor plotting problem (stopping my baby spider demon want to eat people may be difficult, so that's a good reason to keep people out of the story for a while :)

[akane42me]

Good luck with developing the Secret Santa ideas! It's fun and awful at the same time.... all the what-if this and what-if that until finally it comes together. May that happen soon!

Baby spider demon... Have the people eat broccoli three times a day. That should scare it off because baby spider demons are sickened by broccoli-laden people bites. A little-known factoid about baby spider demons.

[wiseheart]

Now that with the broccoli is a fantastic idea! I guess broccoli makes baby spider demons bloated, eh?

LOL 🥦🥦🕷️🕷️👿😈

The concert sounds like a good excuse - I hope it went well!

I really should have been knitting tonight, so I actually ended up wanting to write about hills, only I got distracted reading about them instead. So only 330 words about one of the hot days - introductory bits, mostly.

I'd read a few reports which talked about highland cows on the track, and was pleased to discover that they were all tidily in fields for the moment.

[akane42me]

Good word count! That's a good lot of words!
I'm glad the cows were refraining from wandering the track:)
