Wednesday Words  
After last week's poor showing, I am absolutely THRILLED with this week's progress! Was able to check off three of the things I want to get done from my list AND editing for the Drarry fic I picked back up went pretty fantastically. I often will skip transitions/endings/dialogue fleshing out/and entire convos while writing an initial draft if I'm finding I'm struggling with them and it's holding up my momentum. I find coming back to them during edits is SO much easier, but every time I'm super nervous that I'll get stuck again. Thankfully, I found it quite smooth sailing to get through, and I'm feeling energized about the idea again, which is exciting!

Weekly Word Count (9/8-9/14) = 8,683
  • Vampire!Wincest: finished partially written scene.

  • Wincest Weed!Fic: finished draft.

  • Abandoned [tumblr.com profile] harrydracobang: edited the fifteen existing chapters, which included some pretty extensive rewrites/fleshing out of dialogue, as well as filling in a number of placeholders. I've not looked at it for months, and I was feeling quite meh about it towards the end, so I was pleasantly surprised to discover that I'm actually really quite happy with it! And the editing wasn't even painful! Tentatively picking this one back up.

Next Week's Goals
  • Vampire!Wincest: either write the ending scene, or go back and finish up one of the earlier scenes that I decided to skip.

  • Wincest Weed!Fic: finish draft and go through initial edits

  • A Relationship Unravels: go through second round of edits.

  • Abandoned [tumblr.com profile] harrydracobang: write a scene

Congrats on your work count and energy! I'm feeling a little sheepish that I've only written one thing and that was aaaaaaaaaaaages ago (and extremely nervous about it being revealed this Saturday). Hopefully autumn inspires!

Thank you so much!! And definitely don't feel guilty about your own writing! We've all got different paces and RL circumstances etc!

How exciting! Love to see all the words - congrats. :) I always dread coming back to those bits that got me stuck previously. Sometimes they're easy to fix, sometimes they are evil. So glad you're feeling good about your idea again, too! <3

Thanks!! Yes, I always dread it too so I was very happy to find they went quite smoothly this round, though I've got another fic I'll need to be editing soon with similar gaps and I'll have to hope it goes equally smoothly!
