WIP Challenge Check-in, Day 27 -- Tuesday

[linaewen]

Hello on Tuesday!  What kind of a writing day has it been so far today -- or if today hasn't gotten going yet, how did you fare yesterday?

       - I thought about my fic once or twice
       - I wrote
       - I did some planning and/or outlining
       - I did research and/or canon review
       - I edited
       - I've sent my fic off to my beta
       - I posted today!
       - I'm taking a break
       - I did something else that I'll talk about in a comment

Tuesday Discussion:  Do your writing goals change from month to month, or are they pretty much the same?

I did okay with writing yesterday in spite of being out much of the day, but today will not be so good. Today is all day meetings day at work!

My goals are pretty much the same from month to month, and I still have trouble meeting them!

Yesterday I wound up jumping into the scene that I've been avoiding because I'm unhappy with the plot point (workplace harassment) and the scene pretty much wrote itself. Not sure if I'll keep it, but I probably needed to get it out of my system so I could get on with the rest of the draft.

Goals are nice in theory; in practice I'm unable to commit to them, and I keep changing my mind.

Been too busy thinking about financial and logistical imperatives to get much writing done. I know I have the time, but I need better mental focus.

I did start an online course on scriptwriting and tried to copy a scene from a short film for my characters to get a sense of what it's like.
My goal is always to work a little on writing everyday but what that entails depends heavily on the project and after finishing a bigger project, i will ease off a little, so yes and no.

I haven't started writing today yet, but yesterday went well! I'm on track to finish the month with 40k written on my WIP, which is great!

My goal for this month was higher than I usually aim for, because Camp NaNo is motivating, haha.

Typically my goal stays the same-ish, but I try to be flexible enough that I can adjust for other things happening in my life. (And give myself some wiggle room for days where research and plotting are more important than making new words.) I do participate in things like NaNo, which tend to up my goals for the month in question.
