firethesound2021 GOALS
2021 Total Wordcount Goal : 0 / 100,000
2021 Total Writing Days : 0 / 120
DECEMBER
December is always a bit of a slow month for me, and this was certainly no different. Still, after so long of not writing anything I'm just pleased I was able to keep my momentum going at all!
December Wrap-Up : I finished the month with 3275 words which is actually a bit higher than I usually do during the month of December? Most of them were even on the thing I meant to be writing, though sadly I didn't end up finishing it, as I would have liked to by the end of the year. A total of 3 WIPs got new words, with 1928 going into 2 HP fics and 1347 going into a fic for The Old Guard.

harrydracobang so I've got a project to really dig into, so I'm optimistic!
January Wordcount Goal : 10k and that's a bit ahead of what I need to average to keep on track for my yearly goal of 100k, but not so far ahead of it that it's unreasonable, I think.
January Fics to Focus On
☆ HDBB Fic : I'm using one of my (many, many) WIPs for this, which I luckily have not talked about in any sort of detail whatsoever. In the interest of maintaining anonymity, I'm not going to say how much of it I've got written and will only be counting newly written words on it. (And as my WIPs range in wordcount from 31 words to 87k, I figure that tallying my newly written words won't be much of a giveaway lol)
☆ There Is Always the Moon : I wrote this for Remix back in 2016 and just found out that the fic it's based off has been taken down. I deliberately wrote this to function as a companion, so with the original gone it's no longer complete. The first 12 chapters are more of a prequel, so it's just the last chapter that will need to be rewritten for it to stand on its own. My goal this month is to firstly reread it so it's fresh in my brain, and then to dig out my notes on it because at one point I did have a full ending plotted out and I'm really really really hoping I wrote it down before I changed my mind about it. ::crosses fingers::
☆ Lastly, I need to sort through the WIP Folder of Doom and pick out my First Quarter fic. Maybe I ought to stick with Pride Goeth, as that's what I've got at least some momentum built up on? But with the unexpected return of Always the Moon to WIP status, I feel like maybe I ought to pick something much shorter. I've got a handful of mostly-written PWPs kicking around that are a much lower wordcount investment than Pride Goeth, which still has something like 8-10k left on it... or maybe I ought to just count my rewrites as my First Quarter fic? I'd love to have it done by then, but that feels like it's maybe overly optimistic. Either way, I'm hoping to have a better idea by the end of the month.
