Good morning everyone!

So far today I have breakfast, and quite a lot of snow, although I didn't make that. What have you got?

Good morning! :)

I've been planning a story, doesn't make sense yet but maybe it will shape up from there. Now I'm going to do some chores, and maybe make some lunch.

Good morning to you! *yawns, rubs eyes*

I have breakfast, a light dusting of snow, a warm bed, and two cold cats aggressively cuddling for warmth. Free writing is possible, but writing that requires thought will have to wait a bit, I think.

Good morning!

The last hour brought me roughly 400 more words. Maybe also an ending to my ficlet, but they jury's still out on that.

Good going! Ending things is hard, but at least you have an option.

That sounds warm and peaceful and nice - the words can come later!

[ylla.livejournal.com]

That sounds very useful. Mybe the sense will come while you're not thinking about it too hard.

Morning! I was trying to do some light editing - I wanted to lose many words, but have only managed to cut about 130. I think i'll need to print things off and try harder!

That usually works for me - I call it 'percolating'. I set a specific writing project in the back of my mind, and then go off and do something different for a bit, in the hopes that it will develop itself while I'm not looking. Sometimes, it actually works!
Good luck with it!

Ooh, the hard copy approach! That can be really useful sometimes, I find - especially if you have lots of awesome different coloured pens! Good luck!

Getting rid of words might be even harder than finding them in the first place. Good luck!

Yesterday was a bit of a fail on the writing front (but I was out most of the afternoon and evening...

Today, I will:
1. Review three books, a gig and an escape room game on my blog
2. Go through all the beta comments on my Sentinel Big Bang fic and fix it
3. Complete a first draft of the 1500 word competition entry I'm working on (currently 313 words)

I have all day - can't be too hard, right???

:( Don't talk about snow ... I guess I should go outside to clear the sidewalk.

[prisca1960.livejournal.com]

Wow, busy girl.

[ylla.livejournal.com]

Busy day - good luck!

[alobear.livejournal.com]

Thanks! The reviews are done now - but they're the easy bit...

Snow is pretty but hard work!
