Post-Reveal Writing Post

(Happy new year!)

We couldn't talk about what we were writing for over 2 months this time - so let's talk about it now. If you've made a post describing your writing process for Yuletide 2016, link it here - or just make a comment if you'd rather.

Also on LJ.

I WROTE 10,000 WORDS IN EIGHT DAYS

HOW DID I DO THAT

(And how can I do it on my original fiction projects?)

Picking up pinch hits was huge fun for me this year. The short deadline is much easier for me than the long one, weirdly, and being able to pick specific requests was really nice. For my second pinch hit I ended up writing a story I'd wanted to write anyway but hadn't had the motivation for, so that felt really good.

I really loved working with all the beta readers I found through Yulechat and the spreadsheet, and they made some excellent comments. I don't have that kind of writing community for my original fiction and maybe I should look for some. Having such thoughtful people looking over my work meant I was much more confident that my recipients would like it.

My stories:

"The Odds" - Ghostbusters 2016/Ghostbusters 1984/Bone Street Rumba

"Two for Tea" - Questionable Content

EDIT: I wrote a writing process post; thanks for the idea.
