Peer pressure or cheerleading?

This is the post for all of you who write better if they don't feel alone.

Squirrel here.

I finished the treat I was working on yesterday, though I still have to edit it. (A tense switch snuck in there while I was writing. Damn verbs.)

I've got two short treats in progress, one of which is almost done. (39 words counts as 'in progress,' right?)

I'm still not really awake, though. Ugh.

Well done!

And as someone who listed a 12 word treat above (88 words now, whoo!) I'm pretty sure that 39 words is definitely in progress, yup!

Tense switches are the absolute worst! About... 3/4s of the way through an assignment for a different fest, I decided there were way too many flashbacks for my present tense to read smoothly, so I had to go through the whole thing and change all the verbs (and make sure it still sounded right). It was a nightmare.

Good luck writing today, and good job finishing your treat yesterday! - Snow

They are a pain, especially since now I have to decide which one to use. Decisions are haaaard. :D

How did the plot wrangling go?
