Specific goals:

1. Write five days a week except while traveling. Almost.

2. Finish the last Ladies Bingo fic. I have a draft, but it's not quite ready, so I'll have to post it in Amnesty next month.

3. Write two reviews for Lady Business. One is already planned, and I'll have to figure out the other. I posted the planned one, but that was all.

4. Write at least one story, and ideally more, for [community profile] multifandomdrabble, a drabble exchange I plan to sign up for. Due date is March 27th. Written and posted, but not yet revealed. Anon reveals are tomorrow, and I'll be able to claim it in about a week.

March is over, so that means it's also time for a quarterly check-in on my goals for the year.

1. Write at least 240 days (an average of 20 days/month), with a stretch goal of writing 125,000 words. I'm 4 days behind pace, which I suppose is not too bad, especially taking my vacation into account. I'm at a bit more than 60% of where I should be to hit 125k words this year; that's not promising, but neither it is impossible to catch up. So I'd say I'm doing okay, but not great, on this goal.

2. Post to my own journal at least two days each week. Post to Lady Business at least once per month (not counting regularly scheduled posts). More often than not, although I'd like to do better.

3. Write something about every book I read, every movie and show I watch, and every narrative game I play. I'm doing okay on books and games, not so great on movies. I need to create a movie diary or something along those lines, so I can post a round-up every week or so.

4. Finish and post Wardens of Ivalice Part 3. Since I signed up for the WIP Big Bang, but with a different story in mind (something totally new!), this will be pushed to the second half of the year.

5. Participate in at least five fandom fic projects, whether those be exchanges, Big Bangs, completed bingo cards, or whatever catches my eye. Additionally, write and post at least two fics that are NOT in response to a request or a prompt. I did the aforementioned drabble challenge, have nearly finished a Ladies Bingo card, and signed up for WIP Big Bang and this year's round of SSR Confidential. So, assuming I complete everything on this list, I'm almost done there. The WIP Big Bang story idea was internally generated (well, I did see fanart that gave me an idea, but I wouldn't call that a prompt), so it counts toward that goal, too.

Let's think about April.

1. Write an average of 6 days per week.

2. At least one article for Lady Business (perhaps a Tales from the TBR?).

3. Make substantial progress on my SSR Confidential fic. Secondary project: Critical Role/Dragon Age crossover for the WIP Big Bang.

4. Finalize up and post the last Ladies Bingo fic.

4 days behind isn't bad at all! I'd be proud of myself if I were you

4 days is not so bad to catch up with! Your progress charts are so heartening.
