That story sounds interesting, Sai! I don't really have pet projects, but I do free write, or just write off the cuff beginnings to stories to get my creative juices flowing. If something comes of it, great. If not, I just consider it my warm up. :)

Finished the first draft to a short story today and got about 1,500 words on the novel. Pretty happy with my productivity, which doesn't happen very often.

Go Faerydancer! That's pretty dang good output.

I laid in the sun today and in between lazy dozing I'd sit up and write a little. By the end of the day I had the bare bones of my July Write1 done. I'll probably flesh it out in a writing flurry sometime between now and the end of the month. But I consider it progress.

Actually haven't been doing much in the way of short stories, though I finally sat down and started revising the 10Flash Quarterly story I mentioned earlier. My main writing project lately was doing a sort of "cheat sheet" for people commentating at this, with some info about each game on the schedule.

Made the standard sub Glimmer Train deadline with one week to spare! :)
Subbed my 4th new story written this month tonight which ultimately came in at 4600 words--my longest in a while (usually a 2-4k gal)!

Subbed a couple of Twitter Fic today. Really need to get my butt in gear and polish off a few of the longer things.

And find another market for Pixie Dust.

My younger brother is visiting from Florida, and with all the entertaining I've done I've really fallen off in my writing. I keep brushing up an older, unfinished story, but I just can't seem to get anything going.

Hey, did we just get promoted? Does it come with a raise?

And the forum note has been updated to include the novel a year challenge. Awesome.

(i've already gone and rep-hugged Mac, but i think i'll have to go do so again :))

Yikes, I think my heart skipped a beat when I couldn't find the W1S1 sub-forum in the short story forum. I thought it had disappeared! Glad to see that it's actually quite the opposite :).

That reminds me: Better put a note in Short Fiction as to where we've gone.

Izz, Smish dropped me a note asking me to simply put a redirected link where the subforum used to be -- so I have. :D

You guys are awesome! It's long since past time for a room promotion.

Woo, promotion!

Finished the second draft of the story I want to submit to 10Flash Quarterly. Have to add another 50 or so words to it, though. Figure it's better to come in at 800 than to hope they'll fudge that number by a good 50 words.

Thanks, Mac! :) The new location looks magnificent.

They are, aren't they? All sorts of awesome.

While we're getting all gooey and wet I'd just like to say the following.

I came late to W1S1, and I didn't know any of you.
But I've been welcomed, helped, supported and encouraged.

Thanks to you all. :)

Hey all. :hi:

Cool to move to a new spot. I'm all for anything that cuts down on the number of clicks it takes to get somewhere, and it looks so impressive. :)

Strangely enough, I've managed to stick to writing and submitting at least one thing a month, so that's been good. Given that I'd never submitted a short story before last October, having a few out all the time is impressive for me. (Yes, I'm easily impressed.)

It's totally awesome how well everyone's doing! I'm a shy poster, but I do keep track of all the success here. It's pretty impressive!

The sudden ominous silence here suggests I should go check and make sure the kids haven't done something unspeakable to the pets or themselves.

Write on, y'all. :)

Well I'm glad they did bump you guys up the main page, or I might never have found this forum, but this seems like a ton of fun and really motivating so off I go! Hope to see you all around these parts!
