July Wrap-Up / August Goals
Aug. 1st, 2025 01:20 pm2025 GOALS
2021 Total Wordcount Goal : 13,708 / 50,000
2021 Total Writing Days : 12 / 365
JULY
Well this has been more productive than I thought it would be! I had set 8k as my goal for the month, and felt like that was pretty ambitious considering I didn't start tracking wordcount until halfway through the month. And then I ended up going well past it!
July Wrap-Up : I finished the month with 13,708 words and I am over the moon about it. A total of 2 WIPs & 1 new work got words, with all words going into 3 Old Guard fics.
AUGUST
My biggest goal this month is to keep this momentum going!! I also want to post at least a fic a month through the end of the year.
August Wordcount Goal : 10k and while I was tempted to make it higher, I think this is probably more realistic. August is a pretty busy month, I have family visiting for a lot of it, I'm not sure how my writing time is going to shake out.
August Fics to Focus On
☆ food truck au : because it's so close to done already. Inspiration hit like a ton of bricks with this one and it's practically writing itself. Writing has not been this effortless or this fun in absolutely ages, and I'd forgotten how much I love it. Estimated wordcount, 10k.
☆ Old Kingdom au : But probably not until the end of the month. I'm hoping a short break from this will be good for me. Food truck au is basically the polar opposite of this one and I think that shifting gears completely, plus the momentum of (hopefully!!) getting something done and posted will carry me through the worst of the struggle with this one. I love the idea. I have such a vivid image in my mind of what I want to happen and how, and the words just won't come. Estimated wordcount, 40k
