( So.... yeah. )

Specific goals.... can I just say I missed them all, and rather badly, and leave it at that? I'm doing okay on other fronts, but as far as writing goes, I don't even know what to do. I'm not inspired to post. I started a little bit of fic and hated it, so that stopped. About the only thing I've managed to do is keep up with Lady Business anchor posts, barely, and write Goodreads reviews on those few occasions that I've actually finished a book. It seems almost ludicrous to set new goals for May. And yet I feel compelled to keep plugging away. But it's obvious that goals alone are not going to inspire me. What I really need, I think, is a space for creative and social writing that's separate from this place that's now my work desk -- or at least some way to differentiate the desk that isn't just closing my work laptop and disconnecting it from my monitor. I have no idea what that could look like in this not-large apartment that's essentially all one room, but I need to come up with something. I miss my writing. I need to find my way back to it.

Extremely gentle goals for May:

1. Write enough days that I don't fall a full month behind pace for my GYWO goal. That means at least 17, or a little more than 4 per week.

2. Post to my own DW at least 3 days each week.

3. See if I can't turn that fic idea into something postable by the end of the month.
