incognitajones

I’m going to attempt to write 4 exchange fics, finish 2 WIPs, and write one new fic before the end of the year, or approximately 25,000 words altogether.

Considering my normal writing pace, this is insanely ambitious; I literally printed out a calendar of the next 3 months and blocked out what I need to draft/edit/post each week in order to make it work. It’s just barely possible, in theory and if everything else in my life runs smoothly (she says, knocking on wood).

Plus, recent comments on True and False have added to my guilt about not having finished that yet (more than 2 years after I posted the first chapter, yeeesh) so I might try to cram that in as well. Although the biggest problem with that story isn’t finding the time to write, it’s the fact I can’t cross the gaping chasm between where I am and the (already written) end.

Unfortunately, this objective means I won’t be able to accept “trick or treat” prompts for Hallowe'en the way I’ve done for the past two years, which makes me sad... perhaps I can do something similar in the spring instead.

Overly ambitious schedule:

entire month of October: write write write
beginning of November: first exchange fic due
November 14, 21, 28: post remaining chapters of Departed Acts
end of November: Star Wars Rare Pairs due
December 7: post final chapter of Reconstruction Site
mid-December: Yuletide due
December 21: post untitled Xmas story
end of December-ish: RCSS due (assuming it runs & I sign up)
