Reading and Writing, October 28

This entry is part 24 of 24 in the series Daily Scribble Reports

Today, I started by typing in my sketches for the Justus fic (still haven't caught up on "Amnes") and writing up my scribbler post for the weekend.

Starting editing and writing in the Justus fic at 2177 words. I got to 2264 before the end of the workday.

Between work and home, there was a major shopping trip for Thanksgiving/Christmas/craft fair, which was fun but knocked out most of my writing time handily.

Right before bed, I got another 133 words down for the collaboration on an index card. Writing on index cards seems to be a thing for me. It works better than notebooks.

Frantically Writing Before Its November, October 29

This entry is part 25 of 25 in the series Daily Scribble Reports

So I had a rude awakening this morning when I realized it's almost November. Here goes.

And there goes 1478 words to wrap up the Justus fic. I hate having written it out, but I hope you like it, thecatisacritic. It's your own fault you asked.

Edited the collab piece to 397 words from 133. Added another 231 words after talking to thecatisacritic. And another 229 after evening prayer.

In between, I filled out another prompt for why Storm made Red Wolf leader. Truth is, I expected a different piece to come out, the one I'd originally imagined with Maker and that had a broader perspective and more about Red Wolf, but this came out instead, raw and under the surface of why Storm was angry about making Red Wolf leader, which was something different.

Starting in on "Everything is Blood" at 1029 words. I looked it over and didn't actually have to toss anything I already had but couldn't think of how to bridge from point A to point B. I love this fic, and I hate it. A lot.

Skipping that... I think I'm going to quit and update if I write more later. So I promised an update. I sketched and scribbled on some index cards.
