Today's discussion is a challenge:

If you have written today--Open the first WIP you find and write one (1) word.

If you have not written today--Open the first WIP you find and write one (1) word.

~~Yes, it's the same challenge, dw about it.~~

It doesn't have to stay in the final version. It doesn't need to make sense. Just add one word.

I believe in you!

Title: Too Small
Fandom: Transformers [G1}
Pairing/Characters: Optimus Prime/Mikaela Banes
Content Notes: Fluffy
Prompt: September Twenty-three - 1 & 4 - oh no, there's only one [choice]

"Big guy, that bed is not going to accommodate you, let alone me trying to share it with you," Mikaela said, eyeing the recharge berth skeptically.

"A good thing I brought padding for you then, though… you are correct. I can rest on the decking, and lay my upper body across it, though, for the benefit of its charging fields."

Optimus proceeded to do so, after removing the padding and blanket from his subspace. Those were arranged on his legs, so that Mikaela would be comfortable.

"I'll be glad to be back home," she said wistfully.

"We will be soon."

The post for hosting the daily check-in is here and thanks to everyone who helps out with this. If you're interested in helping out and there are still slots available the post remains open until the last week of the month and we generally run our week Sunday to Saturday, I'm happy to chat via PM on DW for anyone who might need it.

If you have ever completed a fic through this challenge we have a collection on AO3 and on SquidgeWorld both collections are open and unmoderated. Should there be an issue with adding a work, let me know and I'll see if there's a fix for it.

If there's one thing I've learned from a life with chronic illnesses, it's that daily energy is not constant, no matter what we do. Some days you can do a lot, and some days just making it to the next day is a lot. Writing is like that, too.

And sometimes, even when you have the energy for writing and no other tasks that need to get done instead, you still just don't want to write. And that's OK, too. Our brains need rest the same as our bodies. Besides, when you come back to your writing, you'll be that much fresher and eager to do it.

Title: Shopping List
Fandom: Transformers [G1]
Pairing/Characters: Starscream & Megatron
Content Notes: Decepticon humor
Prompt: September Twenty-two - 2 & 8 - grocery list

"Energon. Cabling. Chassis wiring."

"Dermaplates. Epoxy. Resin."

In unison, the pair said the next item on the list. "Optimus Prime's head on a plate."

The roar of laughter between them was frightening to the other Decepticons in the bay, but Megatron in high spirits, with Starscream in accord with him was plenty of reason to be terrified.

"This plan of yours, my traitor, just may net us that item finally," Megatron said, flicking over the rest of the pieces they had already acquired.

"Of course it will, my Lord, for it makes best advantage of their weakness."

"Indeed it does."

Forgive me a few moments of astrology talk, but I promise it's leading somewhere.

Today was a partial solar eclipse (not visible in my part of the world, but holy cats, was it felt!) and the astro-weather has been, uh... well, it's been! And when you're in these kinds of times where brains might be buzzing less with ideas and more with static, it's important to give yourself grace if you're not "as productive" as you want to be, however that looks to you.

So make sure you take time to rest! If you've written anything at all today, congrats! Celebrate it and take some time to decompress. If writing hasn't happened at all today, that's fine! Read over a piece of your writing you're proud of (whether finished or a WIP) and do something fun as a reward for being kind to yourself.
