The Fifteen Minute Writing Challenge

Quick question (and sorry if it’s already been asked) but can I do my fifteen minutes outside of the time posted? 7pm GMT is 11 am for me and I’m at work…

I AM THE WORST!!!

I slept through the challenge again! Woe and alas!

Still 2 hours left until Midnight. I shall make it!

Sorry everyone else.

I did write 500 words today, just not in 15 mins. Figured out something important about a character, though!

Good on you! I still haven’t.

It’s great to figure out things about characters!

Yeah looks like doing it at a set time each day isn’t working for me.

BUT! I did do another 15 minutes today! Actually a few minutes less than. I ran out of steam. It’s not as fun not doing it with other people and not at the set time.

430 words today.

I got 250 words and I don’t remember how many characters! Pretty good for a super sick person who literally had to pause for sneezing fits, I think.

I’ve been so ridiculously busy lately, it was so nice to write.

@Iris You did really well to write while sick.

Haha, thanks! I’ve been sick for awhile, and while I’m very tired, I’m also very bored. :space_invader:

Must be a reaction here in the Pacific Northwest to our elections - I’ve had sneezing fit all day too.

@FairyGodfeather I was working on my WiP (got an entire sub-scene done) so my time schedule was off. I probably did about 400 words in any given 15 minute period …

The set time has not been matching my sleep cycle well this past week. Sorry.

I only did 384 words today in 10 minutes.

I don’t even know if I have a story or a game or what. Just a lot of fragments of NPCs speaking and answering questions and revealing more about themselves and each other.

I was trying to delve into the reasons behind the vegetarian feast. Dragon’s a resolute carnivore and is complaining about the lack of meat at the ball. The Prince is a vegetarian in a Kingdom that severely frowns upon that, and considers it unmanly.

I’m finding it interesting little snippets of the story keep revealing themselves. I’ve no idea if it’s a plot point or what.

The Godmother may or may not decide that eating flowers and plants is also a terrible thing to do, depending on their own whims. They are a Flower Fairy after all.
