Another month gone

[incognitajones]

...hard to believe we're almost at the midpoint of the year!

My goals for May were to polish off three prompt fills I owed and to participate in the "7 Stories in 7 Days" event, and I managed to accomplish most of those. (Details on the 7 Days experience.)

I did post 2 out of the 3 prompt fills, and sent the third one to the friend who'd asked for it. A few other people had seemed interested too, but I can't bring myself to publish it on AO3 right now; instead, I'll probably post a note to let people know they can have the Gdocs link if they want.

Looking ahead, the last week of June and the first two weeks of July are always insanely busy with an annual volunteering gig, and then I have a week of holiday during which my parents will be visiting. So my goal for the next two months is pretty undemanding: to finish a chapter of each WIP by the end of July.

I'm also considering signing up for a couple of low-commitment exchanges--multifandomdrabble and/or everywoman--that would force me to write something different, since all I seem inspired to write on my own at the moment is angsty romance for a ship in a declining fandom.

General progress notes

• I've kept plugging away at my getyourwordsout commitment, slowly but steadily.
• I'm still keeping a regular writing date with myself on Sunday afternoons though I haven't posted about it recently. If anyone's around at those times and wants to join in, feel free!
• I also heard from a fandom friend who asked me to read & comment on their original novel later this summer, which is exciting! I love beta-reading.

This is beginning to be a pet peeve of mine, but I keep finding these challenge comms that don't list a description of what they do in their profile OR in their re-up/noms post. With that said, what is everywoman about? :)

Congrats on the writing progress!

Huh, I didn't realize there was no description at that link... it's a fanwork exchange for female characters & groups (in which all members must be female) - the fic minimum is 500 words so it's a bit less of a commitment than some other exchanges. You can request ships, if you're interested, but there's a better chance of getting gen.

That does sound fun!
