Writing Goals/Calendar:
May. 2nd, 2024 08:31 pmTrying to get back on track... any track... with writing!
( January - March: )
( How did April go? )
Plans/Goals for May:
- May 01 -Complete and post "Reconnection" This is done!
- May 08 - complete and post the "Royalty" AU
- May 15 - complete and post the "Dark" AU
- May 22 - complete and post the "Shipwrecked" AU
- May 29 - complete and post the "Pick Two" AU
This gives me one week per fic. As I mentioned last month, that feels a wee bit ambitious, considering how many months have passed without finishing any of them. However, these were part of a month-long challenge that would have been a fic per day, so a whole week should be more than enough time! Though as I also mentioned last time, this is largely my own fault because all these fics are intended to continue, and worse, conclude, series of their own, and that's made them more complicated in some ways.
With one week per fic, my intent is to spend one day rereading anything relevant to the fic and outlining/three days on a rough draft/two days on a rewrite/the last day doing a final SPAG edit and readthrough + posting.
Of course, as always it would be great to get ahead, but I'll be glad as long as I can keep making pretty steady progress.
For June and Beyond:
In June, I still hope to be able to treat myself to a much-belated birthday gift of Scrivener, and then my hope is to do a major "idea inventory." I want to check in on all of my original and fan fiction ideas and see which ones I actively want to work on, which are ideas I like but don't necessarily want to write, and any that I feel can be discarded for the time being.
Once I do that, I want to pick maybe four or so to focus on. Ideally, probably two fanfic and two original works. I'm not generally very good at switching between projects, but when it comes to some longer works, either I need to figure it out, or make peace with the idea of working on only one thing for months or years.
What I do in July and beyond will depend on what happens during June, and whether I find some project(s) to focus on.
