Week Five - Progress Report

[eponymous_rose]

This is way cool. Had no idea it'd get this far.

Five weeks into my crazy writing New Year's Resolution - to post a fic or a chapter or a drabble for every day of 2008! You can browse the archives here, and watch my brain explode.

Comments: I don't know when it happened, exactly - and how much of it is entirely psychological - but writing in general feels infinitely better than it did. (But I'm using too many adverbs and my sentence structure is starting to get quite repetitive. Must improve!) Every day, it's a part of my routine - and yes, I'm having a wee bit of trouble juggling it on top of everything else, but then I always wind up having to prioritise. So far, my well of ideas hasn't run dry. Huzzah!

My current bizarre little desire is to have "Argumentum Ad Metam" finished in the six days it takes to post it: that's between two and three thousand words to write per day. Uh-oh.

(School, as always, takes precedence; for instance, if this PDE assignment isn't finished in time, it'll be a drabble or a one-shot or possibly another Deepsky chapter tonight instead.)

Thanks as always for comments! They never fail to make my day. :D

Yes pls. *is redundant*

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

Well. Seven days? :D

I am seriously, seriously impressed. You should be really proud of yourself - some people trying an experiment like this would probably produce a lot that was mediocre just to say that they'd written something, but the quality of the fic you're posting is consistently top notch.

*goes off to kick self into finishing final chapter of latest fic*

Aw, thank you! It's been really, really fun. But I definitely feel like, some nights, my writing's getting pretty sloppy because I'm so desperate to have something written.

I picture all my adjectives and nouns trudging through a warzone, and suddenly of them is struck by a falling adverb! "Leave him!" the others cry. "He's a goner!" And so I must press on!

...yes, it's making me a bit crazy.

THAT IS SO IMPRESSIVE.

I have not yet found time to read Argumentum Ad Metam! ;____; I will as soon as I have handed in this damned Economics commentary. Well, I have something to look forward to. ;)

Aw, thanks! :D Fun times with the writing. Hope you're enjoying Argumentum Ad Metam!

I agree with charleygirl, you really should be proud of yourself. Everything you've written is of incredibly good quality. Keep up the good work! :D (If I can calculate correctly (which I probably can't, but anyway) and you keep going at this rate, you're possibly going to write a little under half a million words this year. Wow.)

you're possibly going to write a little under half a million words this year.

*blinks* Woah. That's scary.

...maybe I will do NaNoWriMo this year! (Particularly since I don't think I'll be in school this November - huzzah!)

Glad you're enjoying the fic!
