#writing goal
Text
I have a personal goal of uploading a fic to AO3 every month of this year. I'm currently 35% of the way through a short smut piece, and just realised that I'm running out of April. Wish me luck.

been doing that "write 200 words a day for a month" challenge and so far i've hit my goal each day
well...sort of...here's my words per day...
Day 1: 2200
Day 2: 1450
Day 3: 1200
Day 4: 400
Day 5: 450
Day 6: 6700
Day 7: Edited entire chapter of Rumbar, +250
Day 8: 300 (so far)
the main thing i'm realizing is that if i have a daily goal, even a tiny one, most days i'll get into a groove by the time i hit 200 and will just...keep...going...
i used to have a daily writing habit but i fell out of it and this is reminding me how beneficial that habit was...they say if you do something 7 times you'll build a habit so here's hoping this momentum sticks!
(also i've done nanowrimo like 12 times and i've doubled that goal before so i knew going in that i'm more than capable of meeting this challenge...but again i want to rebuild that habit so awayyyyyy we go!)

Gonna try to work on some of my fics and one shots in my drafts this weekend. Some have been sitting for a while so I think it's time to work on them and get them out eventually

My edited, personal Nano goal is just going to be to work on writing in some capacity everyday this month. Brainstorming and planning does count. The "novel" probably won't be done by the end, but hopefully I'll make some significant progress!

Okay, here are my new year writing options. I have some other ones I didn't mention on here but these are the ones I want to work on. I just need to figure out what I want to focus on for the new year.
Novels
Write draft 7 of my mushrooms take over the world via the internet book. The thing is, I need to add scene reactions. To the entire book. And I feel pain doing that because I low key hate it at this point and want it to be something different, I think. Also, I've been putting off the 7th draft since my beta readers read it. Some of the comments are hard to take, but true, and it makes it hard to work on it sometimes.
Write draft 2 of Vessel, which is about a mad scientist trying to stop the cycle of reincarnation. The person trying to stop the mad scientist is not the chosen one, but the chosen one's soulmate, as the chosen one was killed in a car crash on the way to stop the mad scientist. Now the dead chosen one communicates by possessing people and talking to his very stressed out grad student soul mate. I also need to add scene reactions to this, and I could do this as practice for the mushroom one.
Timebenders. Think Avatar but like with time and shit. It's currently an outline with a few pivotal scenes, and by god I love first drafts. But the thing is it has legs. Like, lots of legs. Enough legs to be a high fantasy series. Do I really want to dive into that? Yes, I do. Let's rephrase. Should I dive into that?
Mazra Maine. I've been working on this bitch since 2013-2014. It's my magus opus of fuck you to the American school system. It's the ongoing daydream in my head. The characters are my best friends. It's a...first third of a novel rewritten 7 times and I can't actually make it work. So it's probably not going to be this one. The pieces will one day fit together in my head.
Short stories
Cal. They're a prophet who only believes in mathematics, and essentially does complex equations in their head to read the 'signs' and gain information (chaos theory). This is generally used for criminal activity. But, as always, I want it to be more than a short story--a series of short stories! Wait. Is that too close to a novel? Oh, and it's a slow burn with their childhood best friend, which I want to see grow through each short story.
Fanfiction
I'm on tumblr, so I don't have to justify why I want to write fanfic, but I will anyways. It's something I can always write, will get me through writer's block, and quite frankly, gives me dopamine at randomly selected intervals through people commenting and giving me kudos. Watching my stats go up is like crack to me. And I don't get that from my novel writing. Nobody goes through my novel and goes 'AHHHHSJDBFNJWIBDNFJ' until like, 3 years after I write that killer line. Fanfic, on the other hand, has a much faster return rate. And I have like 50 fanfic ideas.
Finish the one I have going now that's a multifandom crossover (AOT, Grishverse, MHA, and The Penumbra Podcast).
Write the AOT/Umbrella academy crossover one shot.
Any of the 5 million fic ideas I have for Aizawa from MHA.
I will be writing fanfic on the side, regardless of what I write for the other stuff. It's a constant in the background.
Ultimately, I know this is up to me, I just needed to write this all out to help me make this decision. That being said, feel free to comment your thoughts.
I did really well and got through two drafts of my mushroom novel last year and wrote the first draft of Vessel last year, so whatever I do I will do it well!

February writing plan
It is time to start writing for Thomally Week, but I also don’t want to abandon my Sterek long fic for what might become a very long time since after Thomally Week it’s Thomesa week and then it’s Thominho week, so this is the plan:
In total: Preferably 21K words.
Each week: Write one fic for Thomally Week. Once it is done, work on Sterek long fic for the rest of the week. 750 words per day on average.

Holy crap! Reached 27,000 of (the currently planned over all word count) 80,000 words. This is absolutely insane to me! It might not seem like a lot to some! But for me this is so huge! Especially for me to reach this amount in less than four months when I've been struggling with my writing over the past few years!!! 😭😭

day 1 of my 2024 writing goals. i'm being pretty ambitious this year but i managed to write more than 200k words last year so i think this might actually be achievable
posting 200k to ao3 will be much harder but i included that as motivation to finish my stories instead of being distracted by other ideas. we'll see if this keeps me on track lol

A new goal for myself is that each day I'm trying to at least write one sentence in my story. Getting a sentence written out, just getting words out. It'll be messy, but we can go back and revise it.

Publishing Goal: 2026
I am focusing on my written works after a fairly long hiatus. Had a lot of starts and stops and realize that I have not been setting realistic goals for myself. The year 2026 has popped up for me a lot. So much that I am thinking it is my due date for whatever finished indie project I have to publish. Producing any writing-great writing, especially-takes a lot of hard work and dedication. So I…
