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.
