Writer Challenge

[moonshayde]

Okay flist. For all of you who write and who are around today, I challenge you to write 500-1000 words today. Do more if you can. I don't care what it is. It could be original fic or it could be fanfic. If it's fanfic, pick a show/fandom. Anything. I don't care what it is. Just write.

Post your Word Count to your journal when you're done and we'll congratulate you.

Then, if you can, meet me online tonight and we can talk about it. Feel free to email me. IM me. (I'm on a few different programs.) Comment here. Whatever works for you.

Good Luck :)

ETA: If there are enough people, we can have a tenative chat, like a precursor to the chats I have planned for next year. Since this is a spontaneous event, I don't have any kind of format set and it's open to fanfic and original fic. I think most people are on AIM so we'll probably end up there tonight, but for the January related events, we'll come up with something that may be more inclusive (either an independent chatroom or IRC or something else.)

So if you can, pop online 9pm est. If not or you're shy, you can still comment stuff here or message me personally. We just want to all share in the writing fun :)

ETA2: Spiletta also has a chat - http://www.spiletta.com/chat.html

I'm definitely going to have at least that much to write to finish the last bit of my (very late) ficathon entry. Heading out in 1/2 hour or so but I will pick it up in the evening too...

Taking your challenge. Let's see what I come up with.

All right fine, then. ;) You've pushed me into making a start on the story I have in mind. I'm attempting a fun, non-angsty, shortish story.

I'll also have you know that because of the creation of your Jack/Sara community, I'm mentally sketching out a tentative Jack/Sara series of stories. I'm not sure whether to thank you for that or not. (Future potential readers of said stories have the same reaction. *g*)

This is where I remember I have a huge Latin essay due on Monday that's something like half my grade and maybe I should actually start writing it.

If you need a room, this one's available:

http://www.spiletta.com/chat.html

You can get there through the JAVA applet, and it's on IRC: #thetackroom on webnet

Hey, this sounds interesting. I could probably write 500 words today. At least I could try. :) I was going to work on a different project, but I'll just change my schedule around and see if I can come up with something to brag about.

I don't have AIM, so I may have to bypass this evening's chat, but as you said, there will be others. I'll catch you all then.

I was actually just praying for the first time in a long time this morning about my lack of a muse, so I'm gonna take you up on this challenge, dangit! *cracks knuckles*

[chris4short.livejournal.com]

aww man! well you all have fun! I am cooking all day and than i am working. damn. I shall do it tomorrow... case I really do need to do some writing.

[superbadgirl]

500 I've done already, yayz, but what I actually need to write is about 4000.

Uhm. Yeah.

[pepper-field.livejournal.com]

*loves you*

I won't join in the chat, 'cause I have a cold and will be asleep, but I'm definitely going to try for the wordcount.

Hmm, decisions - original or fanfic...?

[cnidarian.livejournal.com]

Hee! Didn't actually write anything today (my parents have just got back) but I have written just over 4000 in the last couple of days. Does that count a little bit?

You may even get to see the result. At some point.

[beanpot.livejournal.com]

Oh this sounds like fun! I won't be around today though, but I did bang out a bunch of words on THursday...does that count? :P

Happy writing!

Oye, I'll have to see what I can do. I have enough to do with getting the kids to help clean (and earn some workbux), and do some cleaning myself. Toilets/bathrooms are next. Joy, oh boy! Toilets really get my writer mojo going!

I *have* been parsing out the scenes in my 2004 novel Land of the Dead (working title) so I have an outline I can shift around, fill out, and then rewrite.

[6beforelunch.livejournal.com]

Done and done (http://6beforelunch.livejournal.com/181919.html). ;)

ETA: I probably won't be around to chat tonight, but if I am, I'll stop by.

[irishjeeper.livejournal.com]

*SMOOOCH* You're the best love. :) This is just what I need to get my arse in gear and finish my fanfic that I'm writing for a friend for Christmas. THANK YOU!

[irishjeeper.livejournal.com]

Well that didn't happen for me. :( Sorry.

Ended up loaning my car to my sister and then cleaning the house like mad. Then went out to dinner with said sister and got home round 10pm or so and headed to bed. Tonight though its nothing but writing proofing editing and writing! yay!
