I didn't end up having too much time to write yesterday — we took the kids on a Christmas train ride last night, which was a lot of fun! — but I did manage about 600 words on a fic for an upcoming fest. I still need to finish my Advent fic for today's posting but I hope to be doing that soon.

apachefirecat, you are up today! Good luck with your muse and your words!

It's been a HELL of a day today, and I had completely forgotten that I was even on until I went to delete the challenges from my writing to do list for the one story I'd managed to get done.

Then I saw today was DCC and managed to pull another 1.3k for a grand total of almost 3k!!!

So yeah, I count that as a win!

Passing the proverbial quill to our dear simplyn2deep!

May the words be with you!
