July update; August goals
Days written: 16/31
Words written: 5,487
Words of fic written: 2,599
Stories worked on: Three

Specific goals:
1. Write at least six days a week except while traveling. I was on pace for this until Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age came out. Silly me, not accounting for major video game releases in my writing goals.
2. Finish and post the FFXII story I've been working on. I got a draft to beta, so I'll call this half a success.
3. Write at least two posts for![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
ladybusiness -- a book review and a mid-year media report. Mid-year media yes, book review no. Although I did review Spider-Man in my own journal. So that's half a win also.
4. Identify a fic exchange or Big Bang to participate in later this year. Success! I signed up for Remix Revival, which is running this month and next. I got my assignment a couple of days ago and need to decide what I'm going to do with it.
Goals for August:
1. Write at least five days per week (total, not on average) and hit my writing goal forgetyourwordsout's Mid-Year Marathon, which is a commitment to write a particular wordcount during the months of July and/or August. Because of travel and other things, I knew July wasn't going to work, but I've decided to participate in August -- and I'm doing it for the next challenge level up (200k/year instead of 150k). So that's 16,986 words for the month; that's ambitious given my wordcounts this year, but I have a few bigger projects in mind for it, so wish me luck.
2. Finish, edit, and post the FFXII story.
3. Write complete draft for Remix Revival assignment.
4. Two book or other media reviews forladybusiness.
5. Work on sequel to Face the Music, which really wants to be written.
