October Wrap-Up / November Goals

GOALS

2018 Total Wordcount Goal : 73,216 / 300,000

2018 Total Writing Days : 141 / 240


OCTOBER
A few days late this month, but I was traveling so it couldn't really be helped.

October Wrap-Up : I finished the month with 12,027 words which is the second month in a row that I've broken five digits!! \o/ IT didn't really come near meeting my goal of 30k but I knew that was kind of a long-shot. Anyhow, I'm super happy with what I've got. A total of 2 WIPs got new words, with all 12,027 words going into 2 HP fics. Less than 1k of them went into edits on FanFair, and I'm very pleased with myself for how I managed to focus on FTH for the rest of the month :D


NOVEMBER
Setting my goal a little bit lower this month. For a wild minute I thought about doing NaNoWriMo, but I know I'm not going to be able to get anywhere near that wordage and it'll only stress me out, so. No NaNo.

November Wordcount Goal : 10k which still might be a little bit ambitious, considering how I've got Real Life Stuff going on, and I'm on a new medication that's turned my brain into a Depression Rollercoaster (it's interesting, the GYWO spreadsheet puts monthly wordcounts into a line graph, and you can see exactly where it kicked in by how my progress just flatlines, I only managed less than 200 words in the last week and a half of October) and Erised's deadline is in a little over a week so I'm anticipating devoting lots of my usual writing time to proofing fic. But, I know that I tend to not write very much from around Thanksgiving through the end of the year, so I'm going to try to get as much done as I can in the first week or so of November, and we'll see where that gets me!

November Fics to Focus On
Fandom Trumps Hate : Currently 84,392 words and have finished Chapter 5, sent it off to my alpha reader, and got a good start on Chapter 6. Estimated wordcount, 150k.

smutty steggy thing (working title) : Currently 963 words and this is going to be Top Priority for November. MCU Kink Bingo runs through the end of this month, not last month like I'd thought, and I just found out that people who don't complete at least one square won't be eligible to get a new card next round. Estimated wordcount, 4k.
