firethesound2026 GOALS
2026 Total Wordcount Goal : 9,847 / 150,000
2026 Total Writing Days : 26 / 365
JANUARY
Off to a bit of a slow start, but I think we finished strong! Most impressive was that I managed to make words most days of the month (I had multiple days where my total wordcount was only 5 or 6 words, but I still took two minutes to open up my WIP and put them down!) I also made the decision to set aside my horrorguard fic for now. I was really dragging on it the first half of the month and I finally accepted that I think I need to spend some time muddling over it, since it grew into a much more complex idea than I originally intended for it to be.
January Wrap-Up : I finished the month with 9,847 words which is not too bad, all things considered. I was really trying to break 10k and am still a little disappointed that didn't happen. A total of 5 WIPs got words, with all words going into 5 Old Guard fics. I did not meet my goal of 12k.
FEBRUARY
I have high hopes for this month. I feel like I'm focused and ready to make words, the last week has been super productive despite my ongoing lack of free time, and I'm just ready. February is a shorter month, and my in-laws will be visiting for a long weekend, so that might cut into things somewhat, but I'm still feeling really optimistic.
February Wordcount Goal : 15k and I really feel good about it.
February Fics to Focus On
☆ food truck au : and ONLY food truck au, so help me god. It's currently at 52k, so if I keep my focus on it and I make my wordcount this month, then I'm going to be halfway through what I need to finish it off. Then if I can do that again in March, it'll be done and I'll be only slightly behind my ideal posting schedule for the year. I've actually already hit my daily wordcount for today, so I'm off to a promising start. Estimated wordcount, 75k.
