Creative Challenges

I thought I'd do an update today for a few things.

1. Creative Every Day: Today, I finished a small cross stitch. It's now hanging on my cork board with the other two small ones I've done since XMas. but one is done. I'm very proud of that fact. I wrote on my main blog that I wasn't allowed to buy any more cross stitch for a while.

Tomorrow, I'll take pictures of ones I'm working on (and the finished ones, obviously). See, I have about six big ones and two little ones. Okay, so the deal is that I can't buy any more until three big ones and two little ones are done. I've still got the three big ones to do. The two little ones are easy.

I've really begun knitting. A lot. I've got about four to five inches of garter stitch (will also take a picture of this tomorrow). What's it going to be? No idea. I'll figure that out later. I'm just knitting. It'll probably end up being a very thick scarf. And probably a long one, since I'm going to just keep going just because. It's really nice to do while watching TV/movies/listening to music/Live RPing.

2. 750 words: I missed Sunday again. But that's just because I forgot to log in and give them my words. I've been working really hard, though. I'm done with the character outlines, and need to get working on a short story that I'm trying to figure out for an anthology, or maybe I'll send it elsewhere.

3. Get Your Words Out: I'm at 13,3077. That's really close to being on target/ahead, that I'm proud of myself. If I didn't have 750 words, I'd slack off and ignore writing for a few days.

4. [community profile] origfic_bingo: This is the one that I've really been bad at. I haven't done much with this at all this month. I like the prompts. I just have nothing for them right now. Maybe I'll sit down and concentrate on them tomorrow.

So, that's the update for now. Hopefully, tomorrow will be a better day, writing-wise anyway.

Tomorrow, there might be pictures.

Yes. Pictures.

Heh, I'm kind of the opposite. I'm doing surprisingly well on my [community profile] origfic_bingo prompts considering how long it took me to do my first card, but I'm way behind on my GetYourWordsOut count (mostly because all I've been working on is prompts instead of putting the effort into my novels that I need to).
