it has been nearly 5 dang years since I last posted to this site. I was worried it would be completely dead, but looks like there's still some folks in my friends list still kicking.
maybe it's decade-change induced nostalgia, maybe LJ is just better suited to writerly topics that other blogging sites I've frequented, but i'm in the mood to be working on writing lately, and also in the mood to be writing about writing, so here we are.
I finally managed a NaNoWrimo success in 2019 (11 dang years after my last successful attempt) and while I've been nowhere near as prolific in December as I was in November, I've been getting a lot done and I'm determined to make 2020 the Year I Write And Post A Whole Lot Of Fanfiction.
If I want that to happen, I'm going to need goals, and if I want goals to happen, I need to make habits.
The Plan

The Plan
- daily writing: write every day, even if it's only 10 words. miss a day? chill out and make sure to get the next one
- monthly posting: post something each monthly can be a stand alone piece, or a chapter of something longer (only exceptions would be the months I do nano/camp nano
- active projects: try to limit myself to 3 active projects at any one time - one original fic, one shorter fanfic, one longer fanfic.
- planning: I keep finding all these fics i started and never finished (and then forgot the plot of) so i'm going to do a stocktake and make a doc of all the ideas i have an notes so i stop forgetting things and can try to work through stuff systematically
