2024 Writers Notebook
Jan. 3rd, 2024 09:38 pm
I pledged 75K again this year. I will try to do better than the barely 3K I wrote last year.
This is the third year that I've pledged the lowest pledge possible in order to stay in the community. This year will be different. I will actually write. I'm writing now. I know that's kinda lame but sucking for so long makes me desperate for any words I can manage.
Fingers crossed and here I go!

Writing Goals for 2024
Making goals for this year assumes I'm going to try to meet them. I'm going to try.
Finish those stories on AO3 that have been waiting for far too long.
Go back to Camelot Drabble. I need to catch up with the past prompts but I think I can do it if I push myself.
Do a fest. One I've done before or a new one. Snowflake, Sunshine or Unconventional Courtship would be a good start.
Find a new prompt community. I need fresh ideas from somewhere new.
Keep up with my word count pledge of 75K. This is the very lowest pledge possible, if I can't meet this I need to give it up.
I think these are the bare minimum that I need to do. Now I just need to put my nose to the grindstone and get them done.

What I Learned in 2023
Last year was a disaster. I BARELY WROTE A WORD! Granted my vision was nearly nonexistent and I had to wait to get my surgery. I should have started to write as soon as I could see again. By that time, I was so depressed and overwhelmed that writing was the last thing on my mind. The very last thing. I didn't even look at prompts or try to finish anything.
This year will be different. At least, I hope I will manage to meet my goals. I'm going to try.

Sep. 10th, 2023 09:48 pmWriting used to be easy. I could just let it flow and when I was done I had thousands of words on a word doc. These days, I am lucky if I manage a measly drabble.
I need to make amends with my muse. Somehow, I have offended her but I have no idea what I did. Once I figure it out, maybe I can make it up to her.
I need to make time for only writing. It needs to be the priority that it used to be. I need to make my home 'writer friendly'. I need a cozy place to write, drink tea and hear the stories in my head.
I know it's strange to admit that I hear stories in my head. Some would think I'm crazy and they would be right. I have been at the mercy of my crazy curse since I was in my teens. As I age, it changes. I guess my muse thinks I'm too old and too crazy to hear the stories. She's wrong.
Whatever it takes, I will do it just to hear the stories in my head once again.

Feb. 10th, 2023 09:46 pmDrifting through life without goals can be frustrating and useless. I find myself drifting with no purpose, nothing to do but sleep and eat and exist. I could blame the state of my mental illness but that's really just an excuse. I must choose to live a life, not just go through the motions. I must choose to be present in the moment. I must choose to live and not merely exist.
I need to find a purpose. Something to better myself and feed my spirit. My mental state aside, it would be good to be alive again. I need to be reborn in spirit.
I must choose my goals and reach them. It won't be easy and I'm sure there will be many missteps along the way but I must try. Drifting is killing me.

2023 Writer's Notebook
Jan. 1st, 2023 09:34 pmOnce again its time to make my pledge for Get Your Words Out. Last year I barely wrote anything. I didnt reach my goal of 75K. This year I'm making the same pledge of 75K and I hoping that I'll do better.
I'm actually hoping for my light year to get a little heavier but only time will tell. I'm going to try harder this year and I have fewer distractions now to keep me from writing.
So here's to a heavy Light year!

Writer's Resolutions.
Even though my goal this year is only 75K, Im hoping to do better than last year. I only wrote a little over 3K last year.
Write as much as I can.
I need to just write. It doesnt matter what I write, I just need to do it.
Motivan is nice but time management is better.
I need a writing schedule. Its important to get back in the habit again. If I make time the motivation will come. I hope.
Do at least one fest or bang
I need to vet back to fests and bangs. I always did better when I had a deadline. I think Ill try to do one Ive done before.
I think three goals are enough to get me back in the swing of things.

What I Learned in 2022
I learned some hard truths last year. The truth is harsh sometimes.
In order to write you must make time for it. Last year I did everything but write. Avoiding writing just stressed me out.
I blame everything but me. I say I cant write because I cant see. I blame my health or just being tired.
Sometimes you just have to say no. Doing things for others takes time away from what want and need to do.
I will keep the things I learned in mind when I work toward my goal this year.
