firethesoundTrying to get back into writing, so also trying to get back into posting. Hi, Dreamwidth, it sure has been a while! Anyhow. WIPs.
New words this week : 5322 words which is more than I've written in a week in years. I'm feeling optimistic about keeping the momentum going.
WIPs worked on this week : 2, with no new WIPs (yay!)
The Old Guard
☆ Old Kingdom AU : 5017 words which brings the total to 11,403 words and wow has this one been tough so far. Usually it takes me about 3-5k to really feel like I've got traction on a new fic, and here I was at 11k and still really struggling to get into it. The good news is I've figured it out--I'm writing a fusion thing, and I was unintentionally matching the tone of the book I'm fusion-ing instead of using my own voice. Which means that while the solution is obvious, the bad news is that to fix it I'm going to be rewriting a huge chunk of the 11k I've got.
☆ Redamancy : 305 words which brings the total to 4941 words. This doc actually has the bits and pieces I've written for the next five parts of the series, individual works will probably end up in the 2-3k range. Trying to stick to posting them in chronological order but not really feeling the spark on this right now so it's languishing. Frustrating, because the next part could be done in just a couple of hours if I could just buckle down and focus on it.
