Hello on Friday!  Looking back at the day today -- or yesterday, if today hasn't gotten going yet -- how did it go?

   - I thought about my fic once or twice
   - I wrote
   - I did some planning and/or research
   - I edited
   - I've sent my fic off to my beta
   - I posted today!
   - I'm taking a break
   - I did something else that I'll talk about in a comment

Looking forward, how are you planning to spend your weekend?

   - I'm going to make up for not writing all week by having a writing marathon
   - I'm going to keep writing at my current rate and see how it goes
   - I have other plans, but I might have time to get some writing in
   - I'm going to take a break from writing

Hello on Thursday, sorry about missing yesterday, it was a crazy day with a major computer issue that thankfully got solved eventually.

Anyway, how's the day going so far for fic? (If you haven't gotten started on your day as yet, how did yesterday go for writing fic?)

    - Excellent!
    - Terrible
    - Somewhere in between
    - Nothing doing

How much time have you spent on writing fic today, roughly?

    - None
    - 30 minutes or less
    - 30-60 minutes
    - 60-90 minutes
    - More than 90 minutes

In five words or less, how do you feel about that?

Hi all!

I'm doing some minor operational work tonight. It should be transparent, but there's always a chance that something goes wrong. The main thing I'm touching is testing a replacement for Apache2 (our web server software) in one area of the site.

Thank you!

Hello on Tuesday!  How are things going in the world of fic?

Did you write?

   - Yes!
   - No!
   - Not yet!

If yes, what kind of writerly activity did you engage in?  How do you feel about it?
If no, what were the obstacles/situations that affected your writerly pursuits?  What will you do differently tomorrow to get more writing done?
If not yet, because the day hasn't gotten going yet, what kind of writing activity are you planning (or hoping) to accomplish?

Name: Milo

Age: 18

I mostly post about: Just me talking about my thoughts and interests, and what I’m currently doing.

My hobbies and interests are: I like books and music a lot, and I will probably talk about them often. I also like learning things though I’m pretty inconsistent. I mainly enjoy learning about anything having to do with history and language. And I’m currently learning Spanish. I also really like dolls, though I don’t collect them much these days. Sometimes I write as well.

My fandoms are: Hmm I don’t really engage with fandoms much. But you can see more of the media I enjoy on my profile.

I'm looking to meet people who: It’d be cool to find people with similar interests to mine. But I’m honestly open to chatting with anyone as long as you aren’t rude or bigoted or anything like that. Feel free to leave a comment anytime.

posting schedule tends to be: I don’t have a set schedule but probably a few times a week or so.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: racism, ableism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, MAGA, and just bigotry in general.

Before adding me, you should know: I am nonbinary/agender and I prefer they/them pronounce though I don’t have a problem with he or she. I’m legally blind and use a screen reader for a lot of things, so I may miss some punctuation or formatting errors in my writing. I’ve basically been isolated and poorly homeschooled for years, so I lack experience in social situations and there may be gaps in my knowledge of things so patience would be appreciated. Finally, I may talk a bit about my mental health struggles and things like that in my journal, although more light hearted or general topics will also be included.

Hello on Monday! How's the day going so far for fic? (If you haven't gotten started on your day as yet, how did yesterday go for writing fic?)

    - Excellent!
    - Terrible
    - Somewhere in between
    - Nothing doing

How much time have you spent on writing fic today, roughly?

    - None
    - 30 minutes or less
    - 30-60 minutes
    - 60-90 minutes
    - More than 90 minutes

Name: Jon (JD) Watson

Age: let's just say I was a BBS SysOp before the internet existed.

I mostly post about: day to say stuff. I tend to lean geeky/tecchy and Canadiana, but I think a lot about lots of things and post topics can get pretty random. I keep it clean, mostly, so you can safely check out my content to decide for yourself :)

My hobbies are: journalling (privately, not necessarily online, but there is definitely overlap), writing, nerding out on home tech projects, self-improvement, and caring for my three dogs. If anyone ever asks you how many dogs is too many dogs, the answer is three.

I'm looking to meet people who: are Canadian OR have geeky job/hobbies OR see normal things in deeper ways OR are sane Linux users (AKA, not the alpha-nerd type of boor) AND are tolerant of the incredibly diverse state the world is in AND kind to things and people that can do nothing for them.

My posting schedule tends to be: Dailyish. Usually more than weekly but I doubt I can consistently hit daily.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: right-wing crap in all its forms, both overt and covert. And, honestly, politics in general. I firmly believe that social media is the worst place to get news or reliably accurate information on anything, and politics has emerged as the most divisive topic to date. Thus, I am not interested in getting involved in political discussions as a general rule.

Before adding me, you should know: I overthink everything and will probably eventually bore you with some deep indepth post about the merits of square toothpicks versus round ones.

 Hello on Sunday! What kind of a writing day has it been so far today -- or if today hasn't gotten going yet, how did you fare yesterday?

How is the writing going today?



We're at the end of the month, have you made any progress on your goals?

How is the writing going today?


Discussion: what are you working on this weekend?

Sorry I missed yesterday, it turned out to be one of those days with far too much on.

How is the writing going?


Discussion: resources. What are some of your go to resources for writing?
These can be software, fandom specific, general research, and pretty much anything all that you consider a resource.
