Fan writing - why we write!

[farad]

As we enter the second month of our year-long writing, this may be a little early (and I may revisit it with some regularity) but here's a really good Writing Excuses' podcast on Fan Writing, in which we are reminded that we love to write (just in case you forgot!) (To be fair, they're not talking specifically about fanfiction as we write it so much as all fan writing in general, but still - a very good reminder).

I have not been able to write my minimum number of words this past 10 days, though I have been trying to add words every day (even if it's only a sentence).  I got stuck on my International Fanworks Story, but while doing some professional research, an idea came to me, so I may be finishing that story off in the next day or so (ain't it great when two streams of writing come together??)

How are the rest of you doing? Everybody still making the effort?


(I am going to add the podcast tag and try to get back and tag the others too, fyi).
