Staying on target

[annavere]

I signed up for Write Every Day earlier this week, which I'm enjoying as a challenge and focus point. The purpose of it for me was to circumvent what normally happens right after I post something - which is instantly disappearing into the ether for two weeks before I summon the energy to try writing again.

It worked, today at least. I dug out a functionally finished short fic I unfortunately wrote around this time last year while I was still reeling and in deep shock. So I let it lapse without doing the final read-through, because I just wasn't up to it, at all. I feel bad about this, because the fic was beta read, and then I never posted it.

So this evening, I sat down with the fic, altered a few sentences to be more smooth or substantial, added a few others to make the story clearer, and think it's where I want it to be. So that's getting posted in the next day or two.

This challenge is getting good results. Thank you to dswdiane for pointing it out.

I hadn't known about that challenge; thank you for spreading the word.

Congratulations on picking up and smoothing out that fic!

You're welcome! It's a nice challenge, being incredibly low pressure. It mostly just helps me to be mindful, and it's nice to be surrounded by positivity and others sharing their own goals.

You're very, very welcome, Annavere. I finished the Erin/Theo fic. I'll read this one you'll be posting soon. And I never see you in the discord channel, but when I do I'll say Hi.

Much technological skill

Wha? But I...

Oh.

Yeah, I put myself on Invisible. It must have been when I was first trying to navigate the site, and I promptly forgot about that feature.
