May update; June goals
Jun. 1st, 2017 11:55 pmDays written: 23/31
Words written: 10,103
Words of fic written: 2,352
Stories worked on: Two (one all editing)
Stories posted: None new, one re-post
( Charts are happy that it's almost summertime )
Specific goals:
1. Write at least six days a week when not traveling. I got sick a few days before Wiscon and lost all my progress toward this goal. However, I actually did write almost every day at the con (all journal entries, but still), so I almost broke even.
2. Finish posting A Guardian's Legacy, with more editing if necessary. Success! I only edited a little bit more though. I enjoyed this exercise very much and will probably do another pass through my website this summer and see what other gems are missing from my AO3 archive. (And I'll think a little more about what to do with the collaborations.)
3. Write two reviews for![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
ladybusiness (both books already planned). I did this, too! Wrote and posted reviews of The Lady Trent Series by Marie Brennan and InCryptid by Seanan McGuire.
4. Complete draft of FFXII fic recently requested by![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
renay. Not complete, but I did make some progress.
So, I hit almost all of my goals, but none of them were particularly ambitious. Since I'm not going anywhere in the month of June (although I will have houseguests one weekend), I think I want to step it up a notch.
1. Write at least six days per week (not on average).
2. Write and publish a story every week. This is my own adaptation of a project that's happening atgetyourwordsout this month, where people are committing to write a new story every day for a week starting on June 6th. That's way beyond anything I might be able to do right now, but one short story every week ought to be doable. I plan to start with the FFXII story I mentioned last month, and then go from there.
3. Write and publish at least one article for Lady Business. Possibly Hugo reading, possibly Mass Effect: Andromeda if I finish in time.
That's only three goals, but considering how ambitious #2 is, I think I'm set for the month.
