How's It Going? (Optional Check In #1)

[red_b_rackham]

Hey guys!

We know you're hard at work writing like the wind, but we just wanted to check in. How are things going? This check in is not mandatory, but encouraged - we just want to get a feel for how you guys are doing.

Artist: sit back and relax, and recruit all your artsy friends to come sign-up here. We'll talk to you soon. ;)

Authors: Fill out the polls below, then feel free let us know in the comments below how things are going! Remember, if you're stuck about what to write, we have a "What Should I Write" post here, as well as the HBB support community, which has been much quieter than usual, so get in there and support your fellow Bangers!

REMINDERS:
-Artist, Beta, and Cheerleader sign-ups are still open. Spread the word! We always need lots of all three of those roles!
-Pinch Hit Artist Sign-ups will be coming up next month, so keep an eye out if you're interested in being a pinch-hit artist.
-The MANDATORY CHECK IN is on July 15th. For what you'll need to do for that, check this post for more info.
-If you need help with anything, questions, drop-outs, whatever, go here to Page A Mod.

I'm feeling pretty good. I haven't put a lot of proper words down yet but I've been working up my outlines/zero drafts for both my ideas and they're coming together nicely. I'm hoping to knock out a solid 25-50% rough draft(s) over the next two weeks before checkin.

Outlines can be super helpful to get things on track! :D

Go you!! :D

[traycer]

Sounds like you have a solid plan for your projects. Go you!! :)

I created an outline for my story as well. It's the first time I've ever used an outline for any of my fic, so I'm super stoked to see if it helps in getting this one written.

Good luck!!!

Feeling positive. My prewriting for my Little Bang is laid out and ready to go. No real words yet, but I sense they will happen quickly when I need them to.

[red_b_rackham]

Awesome!! That's a good feeling to have. :D

[traycer]

Having the prewriting done is a really good start!! Once you get started on the rest, the words will just fly across the pages! :)

My co-author and I have over 10k written! We have a writing schedule and are right on track, so I think we're close to halfway through right now. I am so excited about our story!!!

[red_b_rackham]

That is fab! You guys are rockstars! :D

[traycer]

That's fantastic news!! There is a lot to be said for writing schedules, and I am in complete awe that you guys are able to stay on track! Congratulations!!!

Like a few others, haven't got much down yet but I'm optimistic ^^ I just need to find one day when I'm completely free and I'll hammer down at least 5k words in one go, which will set me close to halfway. Once I'm there it'll be easy to get the rest done at a more leisurely pace.

[red_b_rackham]

Sounds like an excellent plan. :D YOU GOT THIS! \o/

[traycer]

Optimism is a wonderful motivator. As long as you believe in yourself, you will get it done. :) Go you!!!
