I'm so sorry

Speaking of being behind, let's talk about that!

Discussion time:  If you set daily/weekly/etc. goals for your writing, what do you do if and when you get behind?  Do you add what didn't get done onto the next time segment?  Do you call it a wash and reset at some point?

Call it a wash and catch up when I can.

As expected, Wednesday was a no go for writing. I am hoping today will prove more amenable!

I am a master at procrastinating, so when I can't make my goal, I call it a wash and reset when I am able.

I wrote about 1300 words and finished a rough draft! And stayed up until 3 AM to do it. Oops.

I usually set goals of the "finish this scene/chapter/fic" variety rather than specific word count goals, so anything I don't get done just rolls over to the next day or week. If I miss a deadline to submit something for a fic fest/challenge I usually just leave the WIP perma-unfinished and move on to something else, tbh... I would like to do less of that and circle back around to finish more of those for amnesty periods (I think I have almost a dozen partially written ficlets for fan_flashworks), but I haven't made it a priority. The one long-running goal I have is my year-long "write on at least 180 days" with getyourwordsout, which obviously has its own temporal logic that can't be fudged!
