December Wrap-Up / January Goals
GOALS
2018 Total Wordcount Goal : 109,165 / 300,000
2018 Total Writing Days : 180 / 240
DECEMBER
And I think this is one of the last bits of housekeeping I've still got to do to wrap up 2018. (Still need to write up a couple of fic claims, and THEN I will be done!)
December Wrap-Up : And on that note, I finished the month with 26,588 words which was a bit of a shock even though it didn't meet my goal of 30k. December has historically been a pretty low-wordcount month for me writing-wise, so having it be the most productive month of 2018 was quite a surprise! I owe most of it to writing on a deadline, turns out I'm pretty useless at getting anything done without one... A total of 2 WIPs got new words, with all 26,588 words going into 2 HP fics, one of which was started and completed this month.
JANUARY
This is always such a wonderful time of year for me, where everything feels fresh and new and where all sorts of lofty goals suddenly seem achievable. I suppose that's one advantage of being so ridiculously late on it, that now that feeling's faded and I think the goals I'm setting for the remainder of the month are pretty reasonable.
January Wordcount Goal : 10k and honestly that might be aiming a bit high considering we're nearly halfway through the month and my wordcount so far is zero.
December Fics to Focus On
☆ Fandom Trumps Hate : Currently 84,923 words and am ready to pick it up again. I think our time apart has done us both some good, and after rereading it from the beginning I have a clearer idea of what I'm doing and where it needs to go. Estimated total wordcount, 170k.
☆ ex-erised fic (working title) : Currently 61,286 words and I've recently picked up a bit of momentum on it, to the point where I think I can get it finished without too much more trouble if I can just keep it going. (Just for you, Grace!) This was originally Erised Attempt #2 back in 2016, and was originally meant to be only ~30k, so you can see why it got abandoned. But I like it, I'm having fun writing it, and I'm pretty excited to share. Estimated total wordcount, 90k.
