Challenge June is WIP MONTH! (Finish WIPs, get colors!)—IT'S ON!

1000 words on the Unnamed Namia/Kit story and 1 story review of All Things Nice which is a really lovely and poignant short story. It was wonderful to see the inspiration that particular nursery rhyme inspired and the story is really lovely.

Also just reviewed (hence the edit) Findswoman's new Drabble series The Sisterhood of Rose Evergreen which was exciting because Findswoman has joined the Drabble Challenge and, even though I didn't know the OCs from previous stuff, I felt like I knew them by the end of the first set of drabbles. Can't wait to read more.

So that means for me (this way I can keep track of it because I keep forgetting what I promised myself I would do)

6000 total:
2000 on Just a Spoonful of Trouble: 648,
1000 on CCC-USJS: 565,
2000 on untitled Namia/Kit fic 1064
500 on Snips and Snails and Bantha Tails: 5652, (If only this was the ONLY thing I was working on )
500 on Haiku Challenge

Yeah, I feel I can never post anything without having to edit it half a dozen times. I realised the link wasn't working when I went back to check something so I've edited my post now so that it should be the right link too. Don't want anyone else to miss out on the amazing story. Thank you for putting the right link in the index

Edit: See! In true fashion I tried the links that I thought I'd just fixed again and they STILL didn't work. Third time was, apparently, the charm.

 

I just reviewed a fun debut set for:

Oops, I forgot to post that I reviewed this:
https://boards.theforce.net/threads/crisis-of-the-heart-ocs-itanno-clan-series.50051077/ -- great catching up wit these characters.

 

Status report: my muse doesn't want to know.

Good to hear that others are making progress.

 

@Mira_Jade you made me cry. Happy tears though! I really can't put into words what that means to me. Especially this week.

Real life has been a bit of a struggle these last couple days and I've only got 300 words done on this week's drabbles for Raise The Candles High.

But I did manage to get a couple more reviews done on two fantastic stories:

All Things Nice by @devilinthedetails is a gorgeous one-shot written for the Nursery Rhyme Challenge that focuses on Padmé and the Naberrie family. devil's writing is always beautiful and she does a wonderful job of capturing the warmth and love between Padmé and her family. She also has a very creative idea in there that I've accepted as my new headcanon! This ficlet is tender, poignant, and full of love. Go give it a read if you haven't yet!

And @Findswoman's fabulous kickoff to her drabble collection, The Sisterhood of the Rose Evergreen! I didn't know anything about this group of OCs going in but @Findswoman's writing is so compelling and Star Wars-y (which I really can't describe but it's a good thing, I promise!) that I was hooked right away. I love the interactions between these ladies and the glimpses of backstory we get, and I can't wait to see more of their adventures!

 

672 words added for a Spoonful of Trouble

Also last night I reviewed Findswoman's new Drabble series The Sisterhood of Rose Evergreen. I put it in my last post but it was as part of the edit so I think it wasn't obvious so I'm adding it again.

Updating so I can keep track of my pledge

@Findswoman I actually got another 100 words done today so now it's up to 900 total for Raise The Candles High.

Thank you so much for doing all this and keeping everything organized!

 

It looks as though I might have been overly ambitious with my goal, as I haven't written one word yet this month on any of my hapless progressing stories. I have found myself envying those who can write at work--as the only docent at the museum who is a paid employee, I have to work between visitors, and I just received a whole heap of unlabeled and undated photographs to decipher, and scan/catalog. Besides which, I can't eat very well at work, either: today, I just happened to take the first bite of my lunch at the exact same moment a pair of visitors walked in the door.

But the end is in sight: I ordered a chromebook (and if this is a terrible choice for writing, well too late now) and it is presently moving through the postal system. Maybe I can squeeze out 1000 words in the end?

*Finishes message, and returns to scanning photographs of my sister's 8th grade class Christmas play, which I know I saw, but of which I remember not one single moment.*

 

Can you please remove All Our Yesterdays from my list, so that no one will review it? I’ve decided not to continue it at this time.

 

@Pandora - Oooo! New computers are always helpful with writing (or at least I like to think so!) Good luck!

500 words for the unnamed Namia/Kit fic.

Not a lot although I will say that having the reward of being able to write for myself meant that I marked the 15 drafts I had to do this evening in record time (it helped that most kids had only written about 1/3 of what they were supposed to - although my blood pressure while trying to mark dodgy assessment isn't going to forgive them anytime soon).

I've put the only one that's changed below so that hopefully @Findswoman all you need to do is cut and paste? Maybe?


*2000 on untitled Namia/Kit fic 1500

 

Yeah but I was going back to round numbers because you’re right it is easier and you do an amazing (and very hard) job as it is. I’ll add the 64 words to tonight’s effort and then o only need to write 436

1905 words on The Journal of Ronen Syndulla-Jarrus! I have no idea how this happened, but I hope whatever it is continues!

 

@Findswoman and @Kit' :

Thanks for the well-wishes for my new (well, used via ebay) chromebook. As it turns out, I really need them: it arrived in the mail today, and before I could even begin to play around with it, I found out the power supply doesn't work: the chromebook was already down to 2% power when I got it, and when I plugged it in, it couldn't charge. (The battery is dead now.) My father paid for it for me as either a birthday or holiday present, and he has contacted the seller--but even if he works something out with the seller, or orders another power supply elsewhere, that will take up a week at the least.

So I still don't have a reliable laptop (the machine I'm typing on now shall probably fizz out in the next five minutes) and it looks like I can declare this WIPmonth to officially and finally be a total bust. I'm just trying to butch up and move on with my life.

 

One of my two stories is finished! Yay! Now I have to figure out how to finish the other...
