    Wow, there's some wonderful productivity going on here! Congrats to @TheRynJedi on finishing "Crisis" and to @Raissa Baiard for coming so close to your finishing goal! Index updated with Raissa's new number and bolding for Ryn's story. =D=

    And as for myself, I'm close to one of my goals, too, as I'm now at 900 words on my drabbles! Just 100 more to goal before my goal is met and my second set is done. (I'd forgotten how fun these things were!)

    @Pandora, that seriously stinks about the new laptop! :( I hope something will be able to worked out as soon as possible, whether it's a new part, a refund, or an all-new machine.

    I took a picture of it as it froze with my phone and managed to use that re-type it. It was extra for Snips and Snails which is now 8500 words or 17x the length I had planned for it to be

    Oh no @Kit'! :eek: That's just the worst!! Between that and poor @Pandora, I wish you guys all the best with winning the battle against technology, even if they're currently taking a few victories in the skirmishes! :p :oops: [:D]

    As for myself, after nearly SIX MONTHS I was finally able to write an update for We Claim Our Own Landscape. [face_dancing] I have a clear vision in mind for where I want to go next - which I think in retrospect is why I stalled out on the story to begin with :oops: - and I already have a chunk of words written for the next chapter . . . even if there's now going to be four parts, rather than the three I first envisioned. Because, owing to the wonderful conversation I missed out on last weekend - though @devilinthedetails 's spot on words echo my own own thoughts and story writing process exactly - I find that a lot of times when I only have a vague idea, I underestimate just how long a story is going to be. The more I refine my planning, and then let my wordy muse get away from me, stories just grow. :p


    Then, as for my review goal, I was able to leave feedback on @Findswoman stellar first set of drabbles in The Sisterhood of the Rose Evergreen, which is already just as amazing a glimpse of a crew of fine ladies as the premise promised to be! I also finally caught up on reading @TheRynJedi's Crisis of the Heart, which is a powerful, heartwarming look at family, perseverance, and healing. And, of course, a little bit of romance. [face_love] I highly recommend both!


    Alrighty, now it's back to my WIP folder for me to see what else I can churn out before June ends . . . let's do this! ;) [face_dancing]

    A productive Friday for me.

    I've written 1788 words in My Diary of a Very Sympathetic Padawan, which means that I've met and exceeded my 2000 word goal for that story. [face_party]

    I've also written 500 more words for my A Hundred Drabbles collection, bringing my total for that story to a solid 1500. [face_dancing]

    Oh! So I did have a few things that didn't quite make it to the index, it seems! I honestly didn't notice they weren't there for a while now, but I'm more than happy to be lost in the shuffle of so much progress! :p I know that hosting this thread is quite the commitment, so thank you so very much @Findswoman! [:D]

    500 words for my Your Reach Into the Far NSWFF drabbles.

    Then, 3 reviews: Into The Drabble-verse, by Raissa Baiard.
    Things You Said ... While You Were Drunk, by Raissa Baiard.
    Raise the Candles High by amidalachick.


    Thank you so very much, again! :D

    Update time

    6000 total:

    2000 on Just a Spoonful of Trouble: 2001,:D[face_dancing]
    1000 on CCC-USJS: 565,
    2000 on untitled Namia/Kit fic 1786
    500 on Snips and Snails and Bantha Tails: 8728, :_|
    500 on Haiku Challenge

    So finished the Drabble total and ultra close to the Namia/Kit total. Now just to make time for USJS and get cracking on the Haiku Challenge and I might, just might, get there.

    Also sorry to hear about your laptop @Pandora - can you (or your Dad rather) dispute it through PayPal or Ebay?

    So writing has become my reward for marking. Which has meant an increase in productivity and a decrease in the time I spend staring out of the window wishing that I wasn't marking. Have completed the word totals now for USJS (just haven't posted because I would like @K'Tai qel Letta-Tanku to have a quick squiz first.

    Only 250 odd words on the Namia/Kit fic and the entire Haiku challenge left to go! I CAN DO THIS!!!!!

    Also must stop working on Snips and Snails. That thing is now insane. Checks word count - 10045 words! Really brain! Really?

    Therefore

    6000 total:
    2000 on Just a Spoonful of Trouble: 2001,
    1000 on CCC-USJS: 1120, [face_dancing]
    2000 on untitled Namia/Kit fic 1786
    500 on Snips and Snails and Bantha Tails: 10045
    500 on Haiku Challenge

    Wow, very nice work, @Kit' ! Got it in the index. Keep on keeping on! =D=

    As for me, I'm proud to announce that I've made my goal of 1000 words on drabbles, by completing week 2 of my drabble series! No idea whether I'll make any of my other goals (and not really holding my breath about those at this point), but I'm feeling pretty good about having made this one and my review goals. :)

    Sorry to hear about the freeze, @Kit ; great thinking to get a picture to recover some of it.

    Good seeing so much productivity from others.

    Woot! Tonight I wrote 200 words on Meet the Aliit! Which puts me at 2100 words with 6 days still left to go! I am so surprised that I’ve managed to meet my goals this time. As painful as it was, I think deciding to give up on the story that was giving me nothing but trouble was the right thing to do. It freed me to work on other stories with less emotional baggage.

    Congrats to everyone who's met their goals! That's so exciting! :D

    @Kit' and @Pandora, yikes! My sympathies on your technology troubles!

    Real life things are making it kind of hard to write but I've managed to get a few things done.

    -Finished The Other One We Make (which I saw is already in the index; thank you @Findswoman! :))
    -Written a total of 1500 words on Raise The Candles High
    -Wrote 400 words on Silly Love Songs (still in draft stage and still a mess at this point but it's words that weren't there before! :p)
    -Reviewed 2 more stories (so I think that brings me to my goal of 6, yay!)

    Week 9 of A Hundred Drabbles by @devilinthedetails features glimpses of Anakin's life on Tatooine. As always, devil's writing is gorgeous and she really captures the characters and brings them to life.

    And caught up on Weeks 6 and 7 of "Cut Into Little Stars" by @Mira_Jade. A wonderful variety of characters and eras and I love all of these drabbles even when it's parts of the GFFA I'm not so familiar with.

    If you haven't checked out these two drabble threads yet, give them both a read! They're both awesome. [face_love]

    Oh, way to go, @Raissa Baiard and @amidalachick ! =D= =D= Congratulations on some awesome productivity this week--oh, how I love it when I can bold not one but two authors/entries on an index update! :D

    And now it looks like we have just under a week left in WIP month... let's see what we can do! Go, team, go! [face_dancing]

    Excellent work, @devilinthedetails and @Kahara —got you both in the index! And devil, I’ve bolded yours! (I’ve also gone through and bolded some other story titles that I’d forgotten to—hopefully haven’t missed anyone.) So glad to see the productivity keeping up in our final week or so! :)

    Ugh, I've got like a paragraph or two left to write to finish "Community" and I've hit this block. Like, come on, it's just one little bit left, and my brain is like: nope, I got nothing.

    You can do it @TheRynJedi - you've still got a couple of days and you can do it. Throw on some music and just see what comes out. Remember if it's terrible then you can edit it.

    For my part I finished the word count for the Unnamed Namia/Kit fic and managed to join the two seperate word documents that I'd written for it together. So yay?!? Just the HaiKu challenge to go.

    6000 total:
    2000 on Just a Spoonful of Trouble: 2001,
    1000 on CCC-USJS: 1120,
    2000 on untitled Namia/Kit fic - 2978 [face_dancing]
    500 on Snips and Snails and Bantha Tails: 10045
    500 on Haiku Challenge
