August Writing Stats

August total: 10,614 | YTD: 88,451

I had hoped to write more for Steddie Angsty August but it just never happened. I had family visiting from overseas, and I was a bit burned out after July I think. I posted one entry at approx 1.6k words, and then wrote 9k for the day 10 prompt, which I finished on Sep 1! However, I’m not crazy about it so it hasn’t been posted and I’ll probably strip it for parts later.

This month I’d like to get my ‘Eddie gets Vecna’d’ short fic finished and posted. Also hopefully some Whumptober prompts. I’m not committing to word counts on my long fics because…

NaNoWriMo

I added 52k to the prison fic last November and then parked it because burnout is real. And I joked that I’d be writing it for this years NaNoWriMo, hahahaha, but no it’s all good, it will be finished.

Obviously Nano just got problematic, so this year I’m doing DreamoWriMo, shut up it’s a thing. So I’m still going to commit to the arduous fucking slog of churning out 1667 words a day, and because the Vietnam War AU isn’t anywhere close to writing, I’m going to use those 1667 words a day to FINISH A GODDAMN FIC! No but seriously, I’m going to split the 50k between all three WIPs, and cross fingers that one of them gets done.

Last years writing goal was to have a fic up on AO3 by the end of the year. This years it’s to get a first chapter up of at least one of these fics. Keep me accountable!

Last job - make badges for DreamoWriMo. I fucking love badges.

(Only fly in the ointment - got told today I likely have a kidney stone. Already making me a bit miserable, but let’s see how we go.)

September Writing Stats

September total: 4,380 | YTD: 91,385

Sigh.

My second least productive month this year, and it honestly really sucks balls. I've been unwell over the last few weeks and it's just grinding me down at this point with little end in sight. So all my plans for Whumptober are in the bin, not happening now sadly. Maybe next year. I have to say, 1700 words are a direct result of tag games, the pressure to not disappoint others really works!

Plans for this month... pfft, who even knows at this point.

Eddie Gets Vecnad (need a name quickly because that really irks me) did not get finished though I added it to it. It's a short story, there really is no need for it to be taking so long. I really want to get that finished this month.

Corroded Coffin Fest Pop Up Event - Seven Deadly Sins. This sounds so much fun, I hope to be able to contribute something, energy and health permitting.

So NanoDreamoWhateverWe'reCallingItWriMo is next month and the plan remains to push through my three long fics. In order to be able to do that Prison Fic (FOBD) REALLY needs some work to chop it into parts and get what I have already written organised, but it's one of those jobs that just feels insurmountable right now. I don't know how people write 250k epics, I really dont. I've got 70k and it's scaring the shit out of me.dre

Hoping for a better October.
