I haven't started anything yet but I do have the files open with the projects I'm planning on working on for most of the day.

Discussion: Nano. Are you doing nano this year?
I have done it in the past with varying success but I aren't doing this year because I have several projects on the go that I really need to focus my time and effort on, and these are more important to me because I’d like to have some of them finished.

Date: Sunday, November 3rd, 2013 16:38 (UTC)However, Monday will start just my fourth week at a new/demanding job, so I think it'd be way too much to ask of myself, lol.
Last year I'd made a commitment to write 75k words in a year, & got over 50k (I think?!) but didn't make the goal. I was so upset that I didn't make any goals for this year & have therefore written almost-nothing.
I need to figure out what how to manage this - having a huge goal gets me to write, but not making the goal makes me so disappointed in myself that it's probably unhealthy -_-
Anyway! I'm working on a very long fic & would like to get back to it. I posted chapter 3 (finished for many months) last week, & feel compelled to keep writing until I use up all the ideas I have for this fic so that it's done. 27k are posted so far.
Today I updated the draft I keep in Evernote so that chapter 3 matches the final version that was posted.
I also found & reviewed the notes I've written specifically to help me get my 4th chapter from its current state to a complete first draft. Then I went back & reviewed the character arc notes that I have for the fic as a whole, which I found extremely helpful.
I'm hoping to have time to go back through the whole chapter today, but I'm at my parents' house & need to drive back home & do a few other things, so we'll see what happens.
