I'm working on a crossover of 10 linked drabbles. This would go faster if I knew the meaning of 'short.' My goals for the month are to finish that, get at least 5,000 words on each of the two original fic pieces I'm writing, and 5,000 on one of my stalled fanfic pieces. I don't even care which one. ::cheerful:: And my 'something else' today was working out, which happened even if writing didn't.

Good luck to everyone else with your goals!

Oooh, I love drabble series -- good luck w/that. (& heh, I have the opposite problem: I am a shortfic writer & tremble when met w/actual plot that demands longer wordcounts.)

Good luck w/your other goals as well! My goals keep morphing from "finish fic X & fic Y" into "post two things, I dunno what they are even though it would be good if one of them were X or Y" & even if I fail on those specifics, as long as I've gotten a lot of good words down during the month, it still feels pretty good!

Thanks! No, I start writing and plot shows up, and plot complications, and implications, and the next thing I know it's at 20K and running. Drabbles are hard! /whine ;->

Hey, good luck with yours, too! I'm with you, as long as I get writing done, I'll be happy!
