#monthly writing goals

[thetragicallynerdy]

march '24 writing goals

So, last year there was a while where I did a post each month about monthly writing goals - I would post goals at the start of the month, and do a wrap-up at the end of the month. I kind of fell off it, but I'd like to get started again - mainly as a way to track and remember what I'm working on!

I'll only be posting once a month, ideally at the start, with a word count check in and goals for the month. I won't be posting about everything in my WIP folder, just what I have been actively working on recently (or hope to work on).

Fic Round-Up

the jim/ed/stede sick fic - 6.5K atm.

This is a recent WIP (like, started last week) and I'm hoping to have it finished and posted by the end of this week. I don't want this one to sit, since it'll be one-shot that's easy to wrap-up.

blood part 3 (long sad jim/ed fic) - In total about 150K, part 3 is 52K.

The March goal would be to finish part 3, tbh. If I can get a solid 10K written in it I would be very happy.

modern au (long sad jim/ed the second) - 65K

I've been writing this one again for the first time in months, so it would be nice to keep at it! Secondary priority to blood, but it's up there. I'd like to finish another scene or two this month.

jim/lucius kinktober holdover - 2.8K

This is one I was writing for kinktober that never got finished - I would love to finish it. Haven't worked on it since, but I'm putting on my 'pls do this someday soon' list lmao.

shifter au meetcute (jim/ed, shifter au) - 11K

Another that's pretty far down the priority chain, but I was picking away it last week so wanted to add it to the list JIC it gets worked on this month!

remington steele au - hypothermia (jim/ed) - 1.2K

hnnnnn I really really want to work on this one but I have other things to do first :C so just marking it here in case I get to it as well

In sum: I have 3 fics that are priority this month - a little oneshot I'm hoping to have done in the next few days, and then it's mainly the long sad Jim/Ed and the other long sad Jim/Ed. (Also yes I am aware that literally everything on this except for the Jim/Lucius and the meet cute are like sad Jim/Ed its fine its the mood lately XD)

Anyway! Lets see how March goes! I've been feeling a bit more disconnected from fandom lately, so hoping that leaning back into stuff like talking about my writing more (on tumblr, specifically, I find it a better place to connect) <3

February goals 2024

This was a really busy month for me! I traveled two weekends for family events, battling bad weather both ways, celebrated my birthday and anniversary, and though I don’t share any of my personal goals on this list, there were a number of time-intensive items on February’s roster as well. I’m pretty tired, but incredibly satisfied with how much I’ve accomplished this month, and I’m looking…

Anyway, I've been sitting on "The Five Times Queen Hippolyta Had Her Heart Broken (and the one time she didn't)" for about 2.5 years and 2024 seems like as good time as any to finally release it!

#Fanfiction #Hippolyta #Starting off the new year with some angst #fun fact: I started writing this in July 2021 #the word count is not reflective of the amount of time that has passed :P #Anyway my 2024 resolution is to focus less on work and more on hobbies so here's a thing #Also that says “monthly updates beginning 1/2/24” #my goal is to post the last chapter on 6/2 aka WW17's anniversary 😊

i'm tabling for the second time next saturday and i'm very very excited about it!! i'll be selling my bumper stickers AND my zines this time B-)

#i'm goin post! #it's at the same market that i did before (they do it monthly) #and last time was such a beautiful chill experience i hope this time will be as well #the first time i tabled my goal was to simply Be There and i did not expect to sell a single thing (but i sold many!) #this time i expect to sell at least one thing so if i make One Sale it will automatically be a night well spent #and my extra lofty 'i doubt this will happen' goal is to sell at least one bumper sticker + at least one zine #if i can do that then the night is a super mega success #and finally i have a third goal which is just a 'wouldn't it be nice' is for someone to say something nice about my writing #and/or my jokes. i would love if that happened. i'm not expecting it but it would be delightful #i'm a real praisehead

writing progress: january 7th

word count: 1064

welcome to my first weekly writing post! one of my resolutions for this year is to create a daily writing routine, and i want to post updates on this account to keep me accountable (and so i can be more active on my writeblr again!!)

my goal for this month is 15,000 words, but we'll see! the first day of my spring semester starts tomorrow, and i'm very excited. but i am worried about balancing my workload with my writing and everything else. that's why i want to figure out my routine so i can dedicate some time to writing each day!

this week, i did a character study about river and vivian (my beloveds) and wrote part of a chapter of bitter & sweet. i went on a road trip with my family this week, but this week i hope i'll be able to figure out my writing routine.

i'm so excited to get back to writeblr!! please comment or reblog with updates about your own writing <3

Don’t Write Every day: Looking Back at the Productivity of 4 Years of Monthly Word Count Goals 

Hello to my blog. Long time no see. I’ve still been writing, though, I’ve just been writing more longform work that’s harder to post to a blog than poetry. I might try to make more reflection posts or write more poems again, to have something to post here, but I do love my novels.  Writing Reflection In 2020 I stopped trying to write every day and started on monthly word count goals. Since the…

[thetragicallynerdy]

Alright tho 2023 writing goals, very generally, are:

- update more Undeadwood stuff and finish at least one fic (witch Clayton au I'm looking at you)

- finish the OFMD SMAU, both sad Jim/Ed fics, the cowboy Jim/Olu au, and write some more whump. Also more smut.

- maybe write some original fic???

I'm hoping to focus a lot more on art this year, but I really adore writing. So here's to a rich writing 2023!

July goals 2023

Oh how time flies, my friends. This has been a whirlwind of a month, getting settled into my job, preparing for part 2 of my big move, and launching full speed ahead into production on my author’s platform. My work is going well and the slow on-boarding process left me with plenty of time to brainstorm and scheme, even if I can’t actually write while I’m on the clock lol. Won by 2 points: 6/9…

saw some moots doing this and figured i would too bc hell do i need motivation to actually finish these shits. pls let me know what u think i should finish and feel free to comment or send an ask if u would like me to do more than one 😭 i have a preference for the first 3 but any of them would feel rewarding to finally complete. also the ballad of the phoenix will have an update soon and is not on this list bc that wip is separate from this list, aka the wip graveyard

#sunny polls #please help me revive one of these lifeless wips #also note that the wc is what i currently have not the goal #i don’t set wc goals for my writing bc whatever happens happens in as many or as little words as it takes #also if ur in clownracha and recognize some of these from last year’s monthly prompts…. shut up no you didn’t
