Challenge September is WIP Month! (Finish WIPs, get colors!)—Entering our final hours!

All righty doo, gang...


​

WIP Month is officially ON! Good luck to all of our awesome participants on your goals, be they big or small, and be sure to keep us posted in the thread!

 

So excited that WIP month is officially upon us

It's Labor Day weekend here in the US, and I had the day off work, so to celebrate, I wrote 2798 words on my next chapter of Henry from the Hollow.

Which means that I have met my medium goal of writing 2000 words on that story

Labor Day weekend is great for giving me a good starting momentum apparently!

Good luck, everyone! May your muses be very cooperative!

 

Some wonderful progress already, and some goals completed already—great work! @devilinthedetails @earlybird-obi-wan @Chyntuck I have updated your index entries accordingly.

I haven’t got much to report myself yet (as my Labor Day weekend is turning out super packed and busy), but it’ll happen! Does cogitating and outlining count?

@WarmNyota_SweetAyesha that’s a very good point for discussion, and since I’m by way of in that very boat myself I have a few things to at least offer. My return to work on The Book of Gand was partly thanks to en external stimulus: one of those “tell us about your WIPs” games on Tumblr, where one person asked me about the file that happened to be BOG. That led me to go back to that file to look it over and see where I was, and it also encouraged me to try to get the files in better order, and as I did that things started coming back to me a bit, and I would add a sentence here or a sentence there—and that helped me get back into something resembling a groove.

So I guess that’s what I’d recommend trying: go back to that older WIP, look it over, get a read on where you left off, and then try writing just one sentence more to continue. Sometimes that can lead to more!

 

All right! Between yesterday and today, I managed 2,538 words on A Kingdom Where My Love Can Stand - and I figured out where I'm going for my Starset Challenge fic and blocked in the bare bones. Which is really exciting, because I'm trying something a bit different with it, to say the least. So, all good things!

Now, to see if I can finish a few reviews today and tomorrow, and I will call that a most excellent start for this WIPmonth.


Good luck on your goals, everyone, and may the muses be with you!

 

So wonderful to see more progress rolling in! @Mira_Jade @DarthIshtar @JediMaster_Jen I’ve got you updated in the index—keep up the great work!

 

@earlybird-obi-wan and @amidalachick I’ve got your reviews indexed now! And I too have now reviewed the very enjoyable Rocks.

EDIT: I also realized that my link to BOG in the index should probably be to the fourth part that I’m working on now rather than parts 1–3 that are already finished, so I updated and clarified that as well.

 

Lovely to see everyone's continued progress as both readers and writers

On my own behalf, I am happy to report that I have finished a oneshot:

The Legend of Pelican Mothers

Which means I am halfway to my large goal of writing multiple oneshots this month

 

I was a busy little review bee yesterday and this morning

I have reviewed the following excellent stories written for WIP month:

The Way of Things by @JediMaster_Jen
Our Hearts Were Never Meant to Kneel by @Mira_Jade
Rocks by @earlybird-obi-wan
A Lovely Night by @DarthIshtar
Jedi ferry by @earlybird-obi-wan
A Kingdom Where My Love Can Stand by @Mira_Jade

Which means I have met and exceeded my reviewer goal with 6 out of 5 reviews

 

Wow! You people are really going to town–just four days into the month, and already several goals have been completed and/or exceeded! @earlybird-obi-wan @Raissa Baiard @devilinthedetails I have updated the index with your latest achievements.

​

 

*cracks knuckles*

Alrighty! I am happy to report that I've finished another 1,461 words on A Kingdom Where My Love Can Stand, for a new total of 3,999 words. And I am now 425 words into my unposted Starset Roulette fic. So yay, progress!

As for reviews, I have one review to put towards my goal, with Reclamation, by @Gabri_Jade!

 

Yay! Such a joy to see the great work continuing apace. @Mira_Jade and @earlybird-obi-wan , you are now updated. Looking very good!

Earlybird, this means that you have now completed three of the four short mini-games stories you were planning, right (“Jedi Ferry,” “Rocks,” and “I Am a What?”)? Please confirm—I can list all the completed ones in your index entry.

As for me, I am pleased to report that I am 1207 words into a new chapter of The Book of Gand, Part the Fourth, and all is going great!
