*gets a new stack of papers to shuffle*
My apologies for missing yesterday, but ... here is Wednesday! What have you been doing?
— Thinking. Maybe a little, maybe a lot.
— Writing.
— Planning and / or researching.
— Editing.
— Sending things to the beta.
— Posting!
— Relaxing, taking a break, etc.
— Other stuff-ing. Look at the comment.
Question: If you do not meet your writing goals for a month, how do you process that? (Me? I apologize profusely to myself and try to do better the next month.)

Date: Friday, December 1st, 2017 04:40 (UTC)I don't set goals for writing as much anymore, except to always at least think about it every day. I tried goals when I was writing the series, but they never really stuck; the only things that sort of meet that descriptions are ficathons, challenge responses and other 'by request' type stuff where things are set in stone to one degree or another and it's up to me to whip up a meal that satisfies those requirements. Those were always fun, helped me stretch my muscles in unexpected ways, and it's something I should get back into.
