1. Welcome to November, in which I pledge to post something to my DW every day, and write and/or edit at least 10 minutes more (unless the post is longer than 300 words or takes more than half an hour to create, in which case it will count). Is it ridiculous to keep doing this project, when past experience has proven that it has no longer term effects? Oh, probably, but I can't give up a tradition without a really good reason. I missed three writing days and five days of posting, which considering how busy I was at work and my family issues is not so bad I suppose, especially considering to my usual habits lately. The trick is keeping up my current level of posting as a habit. As for the writing, I don't know. I'm really not feeling the fic juices flowing right now. Despite all my plans for the beginning of the year, and getting into some new content sources, I never did find a new fandom community, and I suspect that may be the big thing I'm missing.
2. Keep working on Wardens of Ivalice. I wrote a little over a thousand words on it this month. Let's see if I can double that, at least. Not remotely; I worked a bit on one section, hit on a useful new direction, then lost momentum.
3. Get that Tales from the TBR written and posted by the end of the first week of November. I did finish the review and post it... in the last week of November. But at least it's done.
4. Write a![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
ladiesbingo fic already. I've had this card for two months and I even think I know where I want to start. This is where I spent most of my fic words this month, and I posted the story today -- a Person of Interest vignette featuring Carter and Shaw.
Life in December should be interesting, at least for the first few weeks. Works going to be busy -- less busy than November, but more stressful in certain respects, and will include business travel. But I'm not leaving town for the holidays, and most of my friends are, so I expect socially it will be pretty quiet. Does that give me more time for writing, or for other pursuits. I guess we'll see, within the parameters of the following goals:
1. Write 5 days a week -- that keeps me on pace to meet my goal of 240 for the year with a little bit of a cushion.
2. Write and post my story forcritmas_exchange, which is due on December 27th.
3. Write and post at least oneladiesbingo story. I already hit the square I knew for sure I wanted to write (although it didn't end up being for the characters or even the fandom I expected), so I may be coming back here for inspiration.
4. Work on Wardens of Ivalice at least one day each week.
