Now YOU come up with a sentence (or fic? or graphic?) that best illustrates the word.

I had a really good writing day... a total of 1259 words. I figured out last week that if I write a few words on each thing I need to work on, I get lots of words. So today I did a bio for GoodReads, wrote some words on the next story for my Patreon, put words on two novels, and filled two comment fics. I made all my goals and then some.

itsanonyx, I hope your writing day is just as spectacular.

Hopefully, I'll continue to get words on my novels once college starts tomorrow.

Long Challenge Poll for 2023

[haldoor.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone! We had a great year of long challenges in 2022, so let's see how we can do with 2023!

To get us started, since we usually kick off the first one from the 15th, I've unilaterally decided (with K's approval *wink*) that our first long challenge for 2023 is a WIP Push, and I'll be kicking that off in a few days, so if you have any suggestions for that, let me know in a comment here. This WIP challenge will run from 15 Jan to 28 Feb.

( to the poll! )
