New month, more writing stats! :D
In April, I wrote a total of 45k words, and successfully wrote 11k words every week. I've surpassed 150k for the year now, which is both baffling and intimidating. My epic scheme to do a ridiculous goal for getyourwordsout so it's funnier when I fail is suddenly frighteningly not-completely-out-of-the-range-of-real-possibility :( (In fact, had I written 1k more words in April, I would have caught up... I decided not to, LOL, because that would have made it real and I chickened out.)
Anyway, I wrote 24 days in April, matching March. I find it funny I'm not spending more days writing even as the wordcount keeps going up (for reference, I wrote 25 days in both Jan and Feb). I think I'm averaging writing like 5 days a week? Anyway, this certainly is validating my belief that daily writing goals just aren't for me, LOL.
So my next writing goal is 12k words every week in May.
That... is a very scary number. But sure. I'll... give it a try...
More writing stuff happened in April; I won Camp NaNoWriMo. My goal was 30k words, a combination of X words on 3 different projects---I was trying to hit a couple of milestones. Which I did do! One (1) project finished at 40k words, one project reached 10k words, and one project reached 50k words! All were original novels, so I wrote mostly ogfics in April.
In May, I have a couple of exchange deadlines, the big one obviously being highadrenalineexchange. That's the one I really, really want to do, because it just seems like a fun challenge to attempt at least once. I wanna give it a try! If I fail, that's fine, but I wanna at least try. I think the only reason I'd not sign-up would be if I just couldn't find any requests I vibed with. Like, I don't want to force myself to write 10k words on a fic I don't enjoy, you know.
Also, prompting is now officially open on smallfandomfest. You can check out the existing 6k (!!!) prompts here (a truly tiny percentile of which are mine).
I'm also very delighted that the booknook friending meme is working! I mean, I track all comments on my comms for moderation purposes, so my inbox is currently dead, but it's delightful. Super excited to actually check out the friending meme's responses when I gather the spoons for more Interactions(TM).
