Today's discussion is a challenge:

If you have written today--Open the first WIP you find and write one (1) word.

If you have not written today--Open the first WIP you find and write one (1) word.

~~Yes, it's the same challenge, dw about it.~~

It doesn't have to stay in the final version. It doesn't need to make sense. Just add one word.

I believe in you!

The post for hosting the daily check-in is here and thanks to everyone who helps out with this. If you're interested in helping out and there are still slots available the post remains open until the last week of the month and we generally run our week Sunday to Saturday, I'm happy to chat via PM on DW for anyone who might need it.

If you have ever completed a fic through this challenge we have a collection on AO3 and on SquidgeWorld both collections are open and unmoderated. Should there be an issue with adding a work, let me know and I'll see if there's a fix for it.

It’s pretty obvious these days that for many if not most shows, the 3 month break between seasons rarely applies. What is your preferred length of breaks between seasons? Are breaks between seasons too long these days?

Poll #33651 Season Breaks

If there's one thing I've learned from a life with chronic illnesses, it's that daily energy is not constant, no matter what we do. Some days you can do a lot, and some days just making it to the next day is a lot. Writing is like that, too.

And sometimes, even when you have the energy for writing and no other tasks that need to get done instead, you still just don't want to write. And that's OK, too. Our brains need rest the same as our bodies. Besides, when you come back to your writing, you'll be that much fresher and eager to do it.

I am looking for someone to help co-mod this group with me. Someone with experience would be nice, but not totally needed if you are looking to start co-moding. HTML experience is needed though, even if it's just using premade and editing a little, since I got coding available that I use. What I would like from a co-mod is to: take turns doing rounds. Which means, when it is your turn after my round ends: post signups, themes, voting, extensions, reminders, winners and banners made for their round. Which is what I do currently. Also keeping track of tags but not renaming them.

If you are interested, please comment here. Comments are screened!

I'm looking for a co-mod to help run this community, so if you think you got what it takes. Please fill out this form and comment below.

Co-Mod Application

Banner Makers Application

Also we will be needing banner makers. Please fill this one out below if you are interested.

Any questions or concerns, please pm me as I will not be able to really answer here in comments.

Forgive me a few moments of astrology talk, but I promise it's leading somewhere.

Today was a partial solar eclipse (not visible in my part of the world, but holy cats, was it felt!) and the astro-weather has been, uh... well, it's been! And when you're in these kinds of times where brains might be buzzing less with ideas and more with static, it's important to give yourself grace if you're not "as productive" as you want to be, however that looks to you.

So make sure you take time to rest! If you've written anything at all today, congrats! Celebrate it and take some time to decompress. If writing hasn't happened at all today, that's fine! Read over a piece of your writing you're proud of (whether finished or a WIP) and do something fun as a reward for being kind to yourself.
