Goal: Weekly Challenge
Goal: Bonus Weekly Challenge
Personal Goal: Four Steps of Character Fractalling on Ezli

Which one is it, Raven, week 6 or week 7? You have week 7 in the title, but week 6 in the first post .

Anyway, here are my goals for next week.

Personal goal: Write 2 long scenes in WIP
Bonus weekly goal
Time Zone: CDT

Yes! I'm looking forward to this! *rubs hands together*

Weekly goal, bonus challenge
Personal goal: Begin Dwarf history
Timezone: PDT

So, we get to do the bonus weekly challenge twice? Meaning: even though we already entered the contest, if we enter again this week it still counts?

Brilliant!

Goal: Bonus weekly challenge
Time Zone: CDT

I'm not going to set a personal goal, because nothing simple comes to mind, and I don't want to overstretch myself.

Katharina: *chuckles* Week seven. Thanks for catching that.

Katie: Egg-zacktly!

Goals:
Weekly challenge
Bonus weekly challenge
Personal challenges - a) Get some good progress made on my fractal
b) 100 words on unnamed SF novel
Timezone: EDT

Finished the drabble!

201/100 words on my novel so far.

Good job guys!

Now wait a minute, I'm confused (I'll use the smiley to prove it: ). How do you define an article about my worlds history? Could I write about a specific race's history (the way I see it, that would be part of a world's history)? If not, please explain what you mean...

*mumbles* I should really do world-building... but I'd better not distract myself from Peter's Angel this week. So!

Personal goal: Finish at least 4 scenes on Peter's Angel
Timezone: CST

* comes prancing back in just in time *
I have a personal goal after all, courtesy of a brilliant idea last night.

Personal Goal: Finish writing a five page synopsis for my new superhero series.

Entered the drabble just so I wouldn't forget to...

Wrote the first article on Dwarf history (have to split it up, no one wants to read a 10 mile long article on dwarf history...at least I don't think anyone does... ). Now on to write another history...

I finished the fractal step I was on, and started my next step. I think that is good progress, considering I've figured out my character's personality type (INFP) and got some leeway made.

Okay, I wrote a first draft of a summary of Vadra's history, it isn't complete, really, but it touches on events from creation to (possibly) nigh-apocalyptic...does this count as an article? It's 568 words long...and it's sort of in timeline form except that I have no software for building timelines.

The synopsis isn't finished yet, but it's up to nine pages.
Still working on the whole drabble thing. I have a few, but they need to be typed up.

I wrote an article for it, about the creation of Zoriah.

I got four scenes done and am in the process of working past that. It's been a successful week of writing full-time, and I've been enjoying it.

Yay, Philie!

Ay, that is a great thing!

I finished an article on the history of the unfallen faction of humans that live in Vadra!

Wolf! You're still ahead of me with all these repeats of the weekly challenge! Good job!

*Wonders if she can whip out another drabble and catch up to be not as far behind you*

Oh, and history finished! Now, about that last fractal step... *Scurries off*

Thanks, you're doing well too! And so you know, I'm trying to get ahead for when I have to take two weeks off this Summer (I might, anyway)!

*Grins* I can catch up then.

Oh, and I did whip up another drabble! So Bonus challenge complete x2!

Nice! Yeah, and then I can catch up and pass you again.

Finished four steps of character fractal! All goals complete!

Good job Azlyn! Now I'd better go write another history article...

Finished one scene and one drabble (all I have to do is type up and post the drabble ).

Hey! We're tied now for this week's point! If you do that, I'll have to whip up another drabble. I'm just keeping up with you, not trying to pull ahead (yet).

Then if I manage to write another history, I'm helping you get more points! (that is very kind of you to not try to leave me in the dust, I'm sure you could do it!)

Wrote another! I wrote 525 words, a complete summary of how the Lycan-the first Werewolves came to be. (wrote it in the car on my ipod, double )

Wolf! You had to do that when I have a bunch of stuff to do tonight and might not be able to do another drabble to keep up! *Might try and squeeze on in before midnight* Must... keep... Up!

Wow, we are competitive.

Yes. We are. It can definitely help with productivity levels.

*Sleepy Az runs in gasping and panting* I.. I wrote another drabble! *Promptly goes to sleep, wondering if the drabble will still make sense in the morning*


That is true!

lol Yes it is! =)

I wrote another history...about how the Rangers discover their new gifting.

Great. Too late, and I'll have to catch up next week. That's what I get for going to bed.

Didn't get my drabble written.

*Major brain gap* Oh! It's Saturday. I could still write one more, but now I don't have time.

Zolly, you have today! Go for it!

Okay... *goes to write a drabble*

Well, you know what they say:
jk, sorry, I couldn't resist.

Ah, sorry that happened, I don't like it when I do that sort of thing either.



Go, go!

Two drabbles done!

Good job!
