Birth by Sleep thoughts

We finished it last night.

This game is old enough that maybe I shouldn't bother to cut for spoilers, but I'm going to do it anyway. ( It's probably good to cut for length, too. )

I find myself wishing that I'd bought KH: The Story So Far a month or so earlier -- then I'd have had time to play Dream Drop Distance, too. But I don't want to wait that long to start KH3, so I've read a plot summary and will take my chances with being confused. Let's be real: given that this is Kingdom Hearts, there's a fair chance that I'd be confused anyway. We did, however, start Birth by Sleep 0.2 (what a terrible name for a sequel) almost immediately after finishing Birth By Sleep (we watched the True Ending while updates were downloading). Didn't finish yet, but the prospect of getting more Aqua story is pretty exciting, and I hope it serves as a good bridge to KH3.

At this rate, I'm hoping that we get to start KH3 tomorrow. I literally cannot wait.

January wrap-up; February goals

Days written: 23/31
Words written: 12,770
Words of fic written: 1,518
Stories worked on: Three
Stories posted: One

( Charts are off to a pretty good start )

Specific goals:
1. Write an average of six days per week. Almost.

2. Write two fics for ladiesbingo. I only posted one. Bit off more than I could chew with the second, so I started to write a third and made good progress but it's not quite done. (Also it might be in the process of being Jossed by TAZ canon. So we'll see what happens there.)

3. Participate in the 2019 snowflake_challenge. This one was easy, and quite fun. Also I posted a lot -- almost every day for the first two weeks of January! And then fell off a bit, but I still enjoyed it. All posts at this tag.

4. Search my DW interests and try to find at least one active, interesting community for all my main fandoms. Follow this community and participate at least once per week. I undertook this project but unfortunately didn't find much for my fandoms that I don't already follow. The main issue is the lack of active communities in my fandoms, which I suppose shouldn't be a surprise. Even the Kingdom Hearts communities I found don't seem to have had an appreciable uptick. It seems like all the action is in personal journals right now, which given the habits Tumblr instilled isn't too surprising. We'll have to see what happens with this one.

And now February, which is historically a down month for me AND this year happens to contain one of my most anticipated video game releases in years. (Okay, it came out this week but practically speaking, in terms of when I will play it.) So, realistic goals:

1. Write an average of five days a week. (Let's be honest, I'll be lucky to hit this one. Still, I want to try.)

2. Finish the Ladies Bingo story and write another.

3. Post regular KH gameblogging updates. (These will be tagged and behind spoiler cuts for your convenience.)

4. Write at least one media review that is not KH-related.

Wow, this is super modest; but that's on purpose. Realistic goals, that's the watchword. Hold me to it.
