writerly ways - first one of the year
Jan. 2nd, 2011 10:10 pmNot that I have much to say. I'll give
findyourwords and
origfic_bingo another plug. My goals for this year are as they are usually. Write. Polish. Submit.
However, I know I need to work harder than I did in 2010. I didn't meet my yearly goal. I spent far too much time on Facebook playing around and I did almost anything I could to keep from editing anything.
I need to finish something this year. As we roll on, I'll have you guys poke me and ask me, 'have you fixed up Machiavelli Moon?' 'Have you finished Splinters of Silver and cold Iron' (since that one I can see finishing)
I'm thinking of maybe doing a few word war challenges with interested parties from time to time. those worked so well for us all during the nano write ins. With the various IM's we could do this in the slow periods. Anyone interested? If you win I'll give you a virtual gold star.
So right now I have to work on my two big bangs and
springkink stuff in the fandom world. You'll be seeing the word counters for those very soon.
My yearly original fiction word count goal this year is 125K. I think it's doable. I don't count the fanfiction overall word count. it'll frighten me.
I also fell behind on reposting. Almost 75% of the stuff I wrote for
fanfic_bakeoff and for
fma_fic_contest never got reposted so be expecting me to use the winter to fix that
And I'll just make this the whole post for the day. All I did was move 500 pounds of holly jolly christmas crap back into storage. So much for me accomplishing any work at all of my own.

My cousin V was on a 'honoring New Year's traditions' kick this year. Like ALL of them. ones I've never even heard of like this big German sweet pretzel. yank off a piece for luck. Food traditions that don't suck. whee
And yes that is the entire LoTR series + the hobbit in front of my 12 y.o. cousin. This boy should have been my son. HIs parents don't know where he came from and call him mini-Dana
