Tikaya tries 26in26

37 posts in this topic.

  1. Good day everyone.
    I shall also attempt to be consistent in writing this year.

    My project of choice continues to be my Jontur "short story". I still want to keep it under 50 000 words. I just find it fascinating to write about a main character who has a definitive skill no one can doubt :)
    [I come from writing Digimon fanfic where no one knows what they're doing and it's just one disaster after another xd]

    Jan 1:
    I wrote 252 words of which I am semi-proud. They are a good basis to move into editing :)
    Minutes: 50

    Jan 2:
    I didn't write any story-words. But I did have 567 words of notes on what the scene should be about and some background info on the involved parties.
    Minutes: 42

    Jan 3:
    I didn't write in a way that can be quantified in words. I organised the notes, added some more words here and there and mostly cleaned up the main document so it's less cluttered
    Minutes: 26

    Jan 4:
    Uh... I spent 15 minutes writing the review for Alex (that I finished today xd)
    No writing-related work. I just got so sleepy after dinner and slept for 12 hrs straight @.@
  2. Way to go! You're already up and at it!

    Thanks to the dungeon crawl, I got a lot of time and words in!
    I was mainly working on the timeline and the various political and economic background details of the special military operation taking place on Jontur.
    Words: 1245
    Minutes: 53
  4. Jan 6
    Courtesy of an after midnight session I was able to sort most of the 1245 words of Jan 5 into neat categories for easier access. Still no actual story words produced, just more world building and political manouvering.
    Minutes: 50

    Jan 7
    Figured out the media coverage. Am not inspired or anything by recent events =D This session made me surprisingly hopeful all things considered!
    Minutes: 20
  5. Jan 8
    Wrote a lot of words that amounted to
    Making it v clear what the options were that Finn had. Or M for that matter. Also the duality of wanting to exploring the unknown while also being afraid of ever leaving home.

    Minutes: 35

    Jan 9
    Many words were written about how to phrase the beginning of the scene. No actual scene words tho
    Minutes: 22

    Jan 10
    I... thought about writing? Does that count? XD

    Jan 11
    I corrected typos from the Jan 9 session!
    Also ordered some stuff. And wrote maybe another sentence of notes.
    Minutes: 7
  6. Welcome to the club!
  7. Thanks Lady :3
  8. Jan 12
    What did I do on Jan 12... I looked at the document, I remember that. I think I did even some correcting.

    Jan 13
    Nun (which is a German word, pronounced like "noon" and means "now" or "well), actual words were produced! I am not yet happy with them, they need to pupate on the page but I feel like I might have a working beginning!
    Minutes: 20
  9. Let's go, Tikaya! Bit by bit it'll come together! Proud of you!!
  10. Yess bit by bit =D

    What have I been up to?

    Jan 14
    Did some grammar corrections xd
    Minutes: 5

    Jan 15
    I WAS SO PRODUCTIVE!
    I wrote words and I'm basically happy with them too! And I got some structuring done too!
    Minutes: 45

    Jan 16
    I snatched some minutes here and there but like every Friday I just came home and basically fell asleep :/
    Minutes: 11
  11. Jan 17
    Again a very exhausting day, mainly bc of household chores etc. Here's hoping for more success Jan 18 :)
  12. Awesome job, Tikaya!!
  13. Aww thanks!

    Jan 18
    Had another productive day! I keep tweaking my beginning but I will not stop until I'm happy with it :3
    Minutes: 26
  14. Jan 19
    I think I didn't do anything writing related on Monday hmmm

    Jan 20
    I did... more grammar corrections! And managed to stay focused for a tiny bit XD
    Minutes: 4

    Jan 21
    Oh I had a blast that day. I figured out how to continue the scene, made wording improvements and thought about the military implications.
    Minutes: 150
  15. Alrighty. What have I been up to the past week? Easy. I was on vacation but I did some writing in between :3

    Jan 22 and 23
    ...I don't remember what I did on Thursday and Friday o.o

    Jan 24
    Massive day. I should write more often when the sun's in the process of rising. Mainly thought about how M would phrase the reason for the Delta presence.
    Minutes: 130

    Jan 25
    Very productive morning! Got concrete phrasing ideas for the implication of the Delta Squadron and the official narrative. I don't like them yet but the process of writing them was enjoyable.
    Minutes: 30

    Jan 26
    Got 2 reviews for the story I'm writing! Very exciting! Immediately spawned more ideas on how to address certain things in the coming chapters :3
