I haven’t written much, other than a couple hundred words or so for Wildflower.
But I’ve been very productive in other ways- I finally went through the notebooks sitting in my writing drawer in my desk, and consolidated all of my ideas, weird dreams, interesting things I’ve seen and heard, and interesting people I’ve come across into one file, currently saved in my brand new writing folder on my laptop. I also have a written copy in my magical writing binder.
I also went through the stuff I wrote in high school and my 1st couple years of college. I found 3 Harry Potter fanfics, 2 original novels, and a bunch of poetry.
I found a Fred/Hermione story, which got to around 33,000 words (around 45 chapters or so). And because I posted it over at fanfiction.net, each chapter was in a separate document, so consolidating them into one file was mildly annoying. I only read certain parts, but it’s really not that bad, considering it was my first attempt at writing anything, much less something that long. I’ve read most of it, and decided it’s something I want to pick up again, especially since I invested a couple years into it.
I also found a Draco/Hermione story, which was around 3200 words before I pretty much abandoned it. And like the previous story, it was posted on fanfiction.net, so every chapter was in a separate document, but it wasn’t too annoying consolidating it. I’ve only skimmed it, but I’ve definitely decided I want to keep working on it as well.
The last fanfiction I found was Snape and Tonks, and while never posted over at ff.net, I think at some point I was planning on posting it, because yet again, the chapters were in individual documents. Since it was only 2 or 3 chapters, consolidating wasn’t bad at all. And according to a note at the beginning of the 1st chapter, it was supposed to be a side story to the Fred/Hermione one mentioned above. I’ve skimmed it, and I will work on it, I just don’t know how much.
Random story: I knew I had started working on the Snape/Tonks one, but couldn’t find it anywhere, until I got the brilliant idea of going through the stack of cd’s I have sitting in a shoebox. I couldn’t find it on any of the cd’s, so I thought I’d go through the box of…FLOPPY DISKS I had in the shoebox. Until I realized I had no way of seeing what was on them. And then I found a floppy disk drive in my desk- just plug it into your computer, and all of a sudden, you can use a floppy disk! I found it on the 2nd one I went through, before throwing it into the shoebox.
