Weekly Check-In Post

[sineala.livejournal.com]

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!

Having fun? No.

A bit uncertain about stuff and thinking of contacting cheerleader(s) if available for some other perspective.

Having fun? No.



*\o/* Go, you - GO!!!

[hutchynstarsk.livejournal.com]

Ta! :)

[inlovewithboth.livejournal.com]

I'll be your cheerleader any time mate! xx

[hutchynstarsk.livejournal.com]

Thank you mate!!! :D

*hugs* Writing is a shit of a thing... but even when it's making us miserable, it's still something we really want to do, eh?

I'm sure you'll get your story to behave in plenty of time. *hugs again*

It can be so frustrating to absolutely love your story and think it's wonderful one day, and then find out you hate it and want to beat it with a stick another--and to really not know which is the truth!

[liriel1810.livejournal.com]

The truth is probably somewhere in the middle. *g*

I go back years later and read over stuff I've written and realize that some of it is good, and some of it really should be changed. Of course, years after the fact, if I changed it, no one would even notice. *g*

[hutchynstarsk.livejournal.com]

I think you're right. :)

I don't really go back over old mistakes and fix them...dunno if that's a good choice or not!

[solosundance.livejournal.com]

Getting a fresh pair of eyes can often be really helpful when you're not feeling so good about a story or your progress on it. I'm sure there are lots of people here who'd be happy to do that at any stage (me included!)

[hutchynstarsk.livejournal.com]

Oh, that is lovely of you! Thank you. :)

[snailbones.livejournal.com]

Ack! I hope talking it over with one of your cheerleaders will help - if not, we'll all come round and drink tequila with you till it looks better *g*

[hutchynstarsk.livejournal.com]

LOLs @ your icon!! :)

Thanks for the encouragement! :)

[dawnebeth.livejournal.com]

I'll cheer you on!

[hutchynstarsk.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :)

[lillianorchid.livejournal.com]

I'd gladly be your cheerleader! *\o/*

Especially if you need someone to talk out your ideas to or even to proof it. Sometimes having someone else read a story can really help. :)

[hutchynstarsk.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you! <3 :D

[lillianorchid.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! *\o/* *Jumps up and down with poms poms* :D <3

[nickygabriel]

I don't think that you need another cheerleader, but I cheerlead you all the time. And I follow you almost everywhere you go! :)

You're like the world's sweetest stalker! ;)

(I'm totally kidding!! I know you're not a stalker!)

*waves pompoms encouragingly*

Thank you! :)
