September Wrap-Up / October Goals

GOALS

2019 Total Wordcount Goal : 48,121 / 150,000

2019 Total Writing Days : 51 / 120


SEPTEMBER
More or less skipping this section, since I didn't do any writing at all in September. Or in August. It's been a really rough couple of months for me, holy butts. But it's a new month and I feel like I'm finally starting to get my feet back under me again, so I'm (optimistically, perhaps naively?) making up a goal post because I'd really really like to get some writing done this month. I miss it so much.


OCTOBER
We're not out of the woods yet and things around Chez Fire are still super stressful with fairly frequent bursts of ugh, but I think that I've reached the point of being able to get at least a little bit of writing done. I'm starting to feel excited about it that I haven't felt in a while, and was actually doing well for a while with my Tropes fic (which I still need to claim...) so we're going to see how this goes.

October Wordcount Goal : 1k and wow am I struggling not to bump this number higher. But even setting a goal of 2k I think would be aiming too high, especially seeing as how I started this post on October 1 and am only just now finishing it and getting it posted. As much as 1000 words feels low, I think that's about what I'm capable of right now. It'd be awesome if I'm wrong, but this is my attempt at being reasonable and realistic for once.

October Fics to Focus On
Fandom Trumps Hate : Currently 86,657 words and while I don't think that I'm actually going to be adding any new words to this one this month, I'm putting it on here anyhow because I want to get it back on my radar. I want to keep thinking about it and brainstorming ideas and maybe--maybe!!--if things this month go well I can manage to start on a fresh read-through of it because I don't remember much of where I was at when I paused on writing it in favor of my Tropes fic all the way back in... jeez, I think it was April? May? It was a while ago... Estimated total wordcount, 170k.

☆ I'm not sure which other fic I'm going to list here... I need to sort through the WIP Folder of Doom and pick out something that's mostly-written where I've got a good idea of what needs to be filled in to finish it off with a not-too-high total wordage estimate. I've got a couple different ones in mind that might do it, but am not sure which would be best. So! I will look through them and maybe come back to update this and maybe not.
