I mean, I don't know. Maybe I shouldn't be reaching for normalcy right now. Because things are not normal, and if we're being honest, normal wasn't all that great, anyway. The fact is, I'm struggling with all of the everything going on right now. And if you know me at all well, you know I don't come to that point easily, and that I'm even less likely to admit to it when I do. But anyway, this post is not about the everything. This post is about writing goals, and considering that the single thing that most resonated with me at WisCONline was Rebecca Roanhorse's call to keep creating in her Guest of Honor speech, I want to cling to that, and not to slide into despondency. Let's face it, I'm just not good at despondency. It's not my nature; it's my nature to keep going. This is one way I keep going.
But I digress. I had some May goals around here, someplace:
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. In fact, I hit exactly 17.
2. Post to my own DW at least 3 days each week. Closer to two days per week, although I did post about WisCONline every day that it was happening.
3. See if I can't turn that fic idea into something postable by the end of the month. I noodled at it a little more but I don't think it's going to amount to anything. But! I did write and post a different fic! So that was exciting.
I will continue with the gentle goals for June.
1. Write five days per week.
2. Nominate some fandoms and sign up for![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
multifandomdrabble. I did this last year and it was super fun. And writing drabbles should be a good way to see how I feel about easing back in to fiction writing.
3. Post at least two Monday Media Musings and one Lady Business post that's not a group post.
