...it's not, like, related to the prompt list I'm supposed to be working on, not even remotely, but it wouldn't let me sleep, so it got written 😂

When all you want to do is type on your projects, but work has been EXTRA extra the last few weeks and left your brain a steaming pile of oopy goo...
That's me.

Finished my main project! 89,680 words all told; going to let it rise like pizza crust and start proofreading next week.
My prompt project is fizzling, catch me fanning the little sparks and begging the pine cones to ignite 😅
I mean, it's over 52k words on it's own, but still...

This week was so slam-bam-thank-you-ma'am that I didn't get to do ANY writing at all until the weekend. But!
Progress, not perfection!
Project A = 6,509 (85,401 total)
Project B = 6,618 (47,163 total) (6/31 prompts complete)
I'm pretty pleased with myself :D

Happily tapping away at my keyboard over here, have managed to squeeze out over 5k words today alone and am just chuffed AF about it.

Finished another prompt on my project list!
This week has been slower for writing, but I'm still hoping I hit my goal by tomorrow night. If I can get in a solid five sprints tmrw then I should be able to crush it!
Also, who weedwhacks their yard at.... 9:23PM?
Thanks, neighbor?

My goal of trying to post daily sort of went out the window, BUT! I did kick ass on my word counts for last week.
Project A: 7,979 Words (58,605 Total)
Project B: 5, 546 Words (22,804 Total)
...anyways, I'm super proud of these numbers 😅
Hoping for 14k between the two this week!

You know when you're writing and you're like, I don't know enough about this to write a character who knows about this... and then you fall into the Wikipedia rabbit hole?

Second Prompt is done!
... Like, a hundred to go, I don't even know 😂
I basically made a spreadsheet of all the prompts this challenge has had in previous years, eliminated the duplicates, and have been cherry picking my prompts to practice writing.
Forward momentum FTW :)

Late last night I fell into a wormhole of 'what if Star Trek had a HTTYD' crossover and it consumed me so entirely that missed posting here, taking my meds, AND brushing my teeth.

I need that gif of like, a caveman spongebob happing around all excited. That's the mood tonight.
Finished a prompt yesterday, got halfway thru another today, AND plotted out the next 6 scenes or so in my other story.
Needless to say (/says it anyway) I'm hyped 😁

My initial guess-timate for this prompt fill was optimistic; 3-5k words each prompt, tops!
Well here I sit, 15k words in, and I think I'm *almost* done with the first.
If editing 'guidelines' are to be believed and I hack off 20%... That's still double my initial guess 😂
Oops!

Pleased to find that it's not quite Friday (for me) but I've already reached the halfway point of my word count goals for the week!
My best writing days are the weekends, because work won't let me write on the clock.

Well. They're still not naked, but I think the charry on the receiving end is kind of into it, so...
Also. My words per 30 minute sprint average 800-1200. With smut? 500 if I'm lucky. Hm.
SO much googling of sexy onomatopoeia.
