September WIP Challenge Check-In, Day 7

[soldierwitch]

 

Alright, writers, we've officially got a week of the September WIP challenge under our belts. Let's do an overall progress check-in on our writing goals.

Here are our discussion prompts:

-Are you on track to meet your goal? Have you had any setbacks or has it been smooth sailing so far?

-Have you had to adjust your goal? Added more or less to do for the month?

-How has sticking to your goal worked for you so far?

I am the Rihanna gif and the Rihanna gif is me. Still plugging away at my outline. I'd definitely say that I've had setbacks. I didn't expect for it to take this long, and I'm still unclear about the fic's climax and ending. Haven't reached the frustrated stage yet, but I can feel it brewing in the back of my mind. I'm working on staying positive though so that I can combat the frustration if it comes.

I believe I said this on here, but just to reiterate and affirm it to myself, I'm going to continue to work on my outline this week with the goal of being finished with it by the weekend so I can start writing. If I don't finish it, I'm still going to start writing by the weekend, so I can continue to move forward.

I am on track for my goal to finish this chapter this week. Depending how busy today is, I may even be able to post it before bedtime. It's been smoother than I would have guessed, and so I'm feeling like having the book done by New Year's is still within my grasp. But I won't be heartbroken if it takes a bit longer.

Glad to hear you're on track!

Yeah! Since I'm hopping on the bandwagon late, I haven't had a chance for any setbacks yet lol. I added a goal for the month, and that is to shape up and start posting this ficlet series that's been languishing on my harddrive for months. If I get the first one posted this week I will be quite pleased. :)

As for sticking to goals, I planned another week of 50 words a day, and that is going great! I'm still managing to exceed that a bit so far (and there was Sunday, which was a total fluke at 615 words).

Good luck with your goal for the month! As for exceeding your 50 words a day count on Sunday, that's always exciting when the words just come like that.

I am closer to achieving my goal this month than usual because I actually worked on my neglected WIP for a change, even though I didn't fully achieve the goal as yet (thus my favorite Yay! photo as my user icon, because I am working at it!). I don't usually change my goals even when I am not meeting them, because the goal is the same and I keep it there to remind me to work towards it.

Aw, your Yay! icon is super cute. Congrats on getting closer to achieving your goal <3. Also, I like your perspective on goal setting and staying the course as a reminder of it being something to work toward.
