Hi, it's Monday again! Everyone should have a posting date now, right? A deadline to have that sucker written and polished up and ready to post! May you be able to do so.

If you're having trouble, let me know. I will cheer you on with pompoms.

Oh gosh, it's Monday again, and we're struggling! Well, some of us are. I am. So I'm going to whine about it. *whines*

That's what this post is for! That, and letting us know if you're doing well, of course. How are your projects going? Have you picked a date for posting yet? (if not, you should do that!)

Let's hear it!

Hello to everyone! I hope you're doing better than I am with your WIPs. Come commiserate with me. Or you can toot your own horn, if you'd like. :)

I'm here! Late, but here!

How are y'all doing with your WIPs? I haven't gotten any work done on mine for a few days. The end is in sight, though! I think.

Let me know how it's going, that's what these posts are for. <3

It's Monday, which means time to open up another post to all the whining, moaning, groaning, and crying you need. Also some celebrations, if you want!

Update for me is that I'm still done with 2 out of 3 fics, but that the 3rd is causing problems. I had to rewrite a big chunk of it recently. But hopefully that will make it better!

How about you, how are YOUR projects coming along?

It's Monday Monday Monday! For a lot of you, that means (booo) work, but for me today it means...

WHINE BAR! So take a seat and feel free to let it all out. How are you doing with your fics? Do you have some worries, or are you coming along at a good pace?

Writing is haaaard, but you don't have to go it alone. I'm here for you!

My last project is fighting me. I need to do some serious rearranging and rewriting in order for it to flow right. I messed up the pace a little and now I'm feeling overwhelmed in how to fix it. But I'll get there! Thank goodness we have time. <333

Now tell me about yours!

Is it Monday again, really? Oh boy.

I know some of us are anxious and/or excited about art claims right now, but they seem to be coming along. Best thing to do is post about them on your own social media and ask folks to reblog/retweet/repost so the word gets around. The first round of claiming ends Thursday, so get going!

How're your WIPs coming along? Mine are getting done, slowly but surely. There are word wars here on DW and sprints in the Discord server, if you need that kind of extra push to get writing. And here I am, cheering you on in a more casual way, and hoping for everyone to write write write!

Leave a comment and I will cheer you on, or commiserate, or just lend a listening ear, whatever you need. That's what I'm here for!

Hello, all WIPers! It's Monday, which is altogether usually a terrible day, but I'm feeling pretty good. I sent in my snippets, did you? If you haven't, there's still time!

How's the writing coming along? My WIPs are doing well, I'm totally psyched about it. Well, one of them is going kind of slowly right now, but the other two are great. So I can whine about one.

Do you need to whine? Or maybe celebrate some words written? That's what this post is for. Leave a comment and let me know how it's going.

It's Monday... AGAIN! How are you doing? Are your WIPs coming along? Do you need some encouragement?

I'm here with pompoms.

My own writing is on a break until tomorrow or so. I'm not even editing.

Don't forget to send in your snippets! You have until the 15th to do so.
 
 
31 May 2021 @ 08:16 am
Oh gosh, things are moving right along!

Snippets and summaries will be due starting tomorrow. Are you ready? I am not. Are you stressing? I am!

I'm about halfway through one of my WIPs now, with two more almost done and two more I'm going to drop, I think. Whatq about you, how's your progress? Do you need to whine? That's totally acceptable here.

Hello, fellow WIP writers! I hope your projects are coming along nicely.

I have a confession. I haven't written on any of my WIPs since May 14th. I put them on hold to write some original stuff. YAY. Or is it WOE? I mean, YAY WORDS, but woe for my fic WIPs. I'll come back to them, though! I really kinda have to... snippets are due June 1st! I want to get some significant writing done before then.

I hope y'all are doing better than me! Belly up to the bar and share your yays, woes, whines, or just say hello.

I hate when I carve out time for writing but then nothing comes out, or very little. That is what I'm staring at right now, the two paragraphs I've written in the past two hours.

That's my whine. What's yours?

(it's not all bad — I did finish something the other day, after all. I'm just feeling sorry for myself today. That's allowed!)

Have a seat and let's talk WIPs.

*runs in late, starts setting up drinks*

It's Monday, which means Whine Bar time! I've had a few no-writing days this past week and it was so frustrating! But the WIPs are coming along steadily despite that.

How are yours? Do you need cheerleading, or just somewhere to sit and complain? This post is for everybody.

Wow, it's Monday again already! That means it's time for the Whine Bar. Feel free to talk about your projects if you need to, whether you're doing well or not.

The next check-in is about 2 weeks away. What are you hoping to achieve before then? Think you can do it?

Are you having trouble and need someone to cheer you on? I can do that, too!

Helloooo and welcome to the Whine Bar! I'm still Green, your host/bartender.

That first check-in came pretty fast! Thankfully, it was not mandatory. I think I checked in with all of mine, but I'm not confident I didn't miss one. (I signed up with one more right before sign-ups closed so now I have FIVE WIPs to write omg)

Anyway, come on up and tell us your woes, your yays, and your mehs.

Good morning/afternoon/evening! Welcome to the very first Whine Bar post of the 2021 round. We'll have these every Monday until we start posting! I'm Green, your host/bartender.

Sign-ups are still open, so grab your friends, grab a WIP, and get writing! Have you started writing? I have. I'm trying to work on a WIP every other day, and I'm alternating between 4 of them.

It's not all easy, though, which is what this post is all about. Feel free to whine about your projects, or even celebrate, if you can! Comment to say how it's going. Are you making progress? Are you stumped already? Are you even trying, yet? (It's okay if you're not!)

Introduce yourself and get the ball rolling! What fandom are you writing in? How many stories did you sign up with? Tell me everything. *chinhands*

 It's been a busy, non-writing weekend for me. I hope yours was better than mine.

The end is in sight. How are things going? Let us know!

And don't forget, it's time for the Rough Draft Check In. This one is mandatory, so please check in if you haven't yet.

 It's the weekend - welcome back to the whine bar.

Does anyone else ever get close to finishing their fic, like so close, only to be ambushed by another idea that wants to be written RIGHT NOW?Because I am remembering so many instances of this happening to me whenever I got close to my deadline and the fic was almost done, and I really couldn't take the time the shiny new idea was demanding.

Anyway, I hope nobody's brain is sabotaging them so close to the deadline. There's a check-in going on here - not mandatory, just let us know how you're doing.

 
 
10 June 2018 @ 10:26 am
I just double-checked the schedule and there's only about a month before final drafts are due and posting begins. I'm freaking out and I had to drop out a while ago!

How are those WIPs coming along? 
 
 
02 June 2018 @ 10:35 pm
 It's Saturday (late Saturday, but still Saturday) and that means it's time to belly up to the Whine Bar.

How are things going? Is the end in sight, even if you have to use metaphorical binoculars?
