I made my December WIP challenge goal yesterday which I'm very happy about. The Devil Went Down to Roswell isn't finished yet and won't be for the foreseeable future, so it's going to be a part of my WIP challenge goals for quite some time on here.
I'll be keeping TDWDTR as my priority fic moving into 2022, but I'll be adding my Hunger Games fic (Vorare) into the mix as I'll be resuming posting come January. I also have an Echo (Liz/Max) fic that I want to post in March, so I'm going to start working on that as well.
What I really need to do is start organizing my current WIPs and the fics I want to write and set myself on some kind of schedule. I've really been figuring out what works for me since I joined this community and started writing consistently, so this has really been an illuminating few months, that's for sure. Incredibly grateful for it tbh.
I think I've improved writing wise quite a bit this year. Mainly in terms of really sticking to coming up with an outline and how beneficial that can be even if the fic takes a different direction from what was originally outlined. I've also settled more into the idea that sometimes my ideas are going to be better than what I'd like my execution to be but that doesn't mean I shouldn't write it anyway.
Also, I think I've managed the art of taming the plot bunny which is such a big move for me. It means less of my ideas out in the world, but it also means less stress, so for that I'm glad.
For 2022, I'd really like to finish a WIP. It doesn't matter to me which one, I just want to finish a WIP for once in my fanfic writing life. Other than that I do want to see how a fic writing schedule may work for me like I mentioned above. I used to think that would stifle my creativity but honestly, now I think it might help keep me on track to write and move through the stories I want to tell so that I can keep coming up with even more stories to write. We'll see.
