Weekly Check-In Post

How is everyone doing this week? Writing coming along well? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments!

For those of you who like to procrastinate by reading other people's writing tips and who could use a few more words on that Big Bang draft, I recommend How I Went From Writing 2,000 Words a Day to 10,000 Words a Day.

For those of you with a lot of spare time, there's the Absolute Write thread Learn Writing With Uncle Jim. It's geared more towards the professional-novelist side of things, but it's still good advice.

Hope you're having fun!

Excitement is good, as is feeling your story is saying what you want! Yays! (And helpful to me as I realise what I've got so far, although it amused me no end, has no actual point... eeep!)

Are you sure it doesn't have a point but you just aren't consciously aware of it? That happens to me sometimes *g*

Heh! Perhaps the point, along with the plot, will reveal itself down the line somewhere *iz optimist today*
