September update; October goals
Sep. 30th, 2018 06:45 pmWow, have I really not posted in over two weeks? Time flies when you're watching the world burn down to the ground.
Anyway, this is not a post about that; this is a post about writing goals. So, here goes.
Days written: 22/30
Days written, YTD: 203
Percentage of goal days written: 84%
Percentage of stretch goal days written: 70%
Words written: 9,641
Words written, YTD: 61,197
Percentages of words for the year so far written in a three-day stretch this month: 8%
Words of fic written: 8,260
Stories worked on: Three
Stories posted: Two (one not yet revealed)
( Charts are sad that we never got a summer this year. )
Specific goals for September:
1. Write at least 5 days per week, with a stretch goal of 6. Got the hoped-for goal, didn't quite make it on the stretch.
2. Finish and post fics for Remix (due September 9th) and Black Emporium (due September 23rd). Done! But Black Emporium hasn't revealed yet. Once we have creator reveals for Black Emporium, I'll do a post linking to both of them. BTW, the Black Emporium story is the one that I wrote over half of in three days, and it wasn't particularly short (over 7k words). Remind me why I do this to myself again?
3. Plot out Ladies Bingo line and start at least one story. I'm in the early stages of such a story, hope to finish it soon.
4. Participate in Latinx Book Bingo and write as many reviews as I can. Read one book so far, about halfway through the second, so my odds of getting through all six that I selected by October 15th are pretty slim. But I still hope to write up more about the experience at the end.
( Progress on goals for 2018 so far )
Assuming I'm okay to practice what I preach about re-evaluating unrealistic goals, I feel pretty decent about the year to date so far. I am expecting work to remain busy through early December at least, which is good on many levels, but less so for writing projects. I'll continue to do what I can, especially considering that the US midterm election is just over a month away.
1. Write 6 days per week, including while traveling (I'm taking a long weekend to DC this month). That won't catch me up on the days written stretch goal, but at least it will keep me from falling further behind.
2. Finish first Ladies Bingo story and start at least one more.
3. Draft a subject-to-change outline and at least two more sections on Wardens of Ivalice.
4. Continue reading for Latinx Book Bingo and write at least two substantial reviews.
