So I only managed 3683 words in January.

I was doing well, and I had really gotten a good 2.5k on a fanfic done with an end in sight when I ended up in the hospital.

You all know why but it you missed it, basically my gall bladder was necrotic.

I'm trying to get back into it all without overdoing it, I'm not back at work yet (this week or next week hopefully) but I'm determined to finish this fic and write some more on my queer lady of the lake so I can start a new Welsh myth to queer up.

I'd like to write three or four of these queer re-telling of Welsh myths and try to get them published by one the Welsh presses.

Dream big right?

How are your writing goals going?

Look at all that green!

I had a really good week as you can see with three +1000 word days. I broke 15,000 words too and I’m about 600 words ahead of my target so that’s pretty awesome. Means I could slow down a little and spend some time on a new project LGBTQIA+ Writers on twitter and sorting my poetry.

I did a lot of writing during word sprints in the Weekend Writing Marathon discord server. They have a schedule of 1k1hr sprints and also you can do your own extra sprints in between. It really helped.

The 17th was a Thursday, not a weekend day like it might seem. I tend not to be writing any more or any less at the weekends, because those are my days with my kid. So I do bits and bobs during the day sometimes but mostly I write in the evening after he’s gone to bed like the rest of the week.

Anyway, this week I finally finished my Josephine/F!Hawke fic – completed word count 6579. Available only my patreon at the moment.

Made progress on the Witches story now called Winter’s Burn and posted the first part on Patreon. Currently sitting at 4498 words

The poll for which fanfic to write next resulted in a tie between She-Ra and Aveline/Isabela so I’ve started both.

And I wrote another poem you've already seen!

Mostly thanks to the

weekendwritingmarathon I've written over 2,000 words this evening and finally finished my Josephine/F!Hawke fanfic which involves a lot of tea. It's patreon only atm until next week.

I hit 10,000 words yesterday.

I actually didn’t think I was going to make my word count for the day, as I was feeling awful, mentally, but I wrote some of my fanfiction and somehow hit the 548 words and then some.

So I am well over the target, which is good cause there are definitely going to be days where I won’t have time to write, or I just won’t feel like writing.

I suffer from writer’s apathy, rather than writer’s block, something I may talk about in the future.

Here is the word count for the week:

A table of my word counts for the week 8th to the 14th. — My word counts for the week.

As you can see, Tryslora has fixed the colours on the actual word/day and I made it teal.

Here’s what I’ve written:

unfinished fairy fic – now at 4049 words
unfinished Josephine/F!Hawke Dragon Age fanfiction – now at 3981 words
started a witch story – 468 words
a poem – below – 65 words
this blog post on this website – 284 words
and the She-Ra fanfiction I wrote last week is on A03 now – Nine Nights In

So I might write a bit more before I got to bed but I want to make some writing/writer icons and badges lol.

I plan to post my word count weekly, we'll see how it goes. If you're not interested feel free to block the tag ren's word count

I'm using Tryslora awesome word tracking speadsheet, and the target is based on writing 200,000 words.

This is my speadsheet for the first week:

The fics
Urban fairy fic - 2953 words - unfinished

Josephine/F!Trevelyan drabble - 305 words - finished (patreons only)

Josephine/F!Hawke - 758 - unfinished

She-Ra Ficlet - 479 words - finished - early access on patreon - public next week.

Blog Post - 868 - Finished @ Queer Little Family

I am about 1500 words ahead of my target, which is nice. It may last, I just write every evening after I put my kids to bed, it may not, I have depression.

I'm still trying to figure out if there are any actual Josephine/Hawke fics out there. And I know the formatting on this post may be a little messed up. It bugs me that I can't see the code to edit it, so I might copy and paste from my dreamwidth next week instead of the other way around.

How is everyone else doing?

A list of everything I've written this year. I started writing fanfiction and fiction again in July after writing none for a year. My word count stands at 103887 words.

I've linked what I can. Fanfic links go to A03 or Patreon (I haven't posted all the advent calendar stuff to A03 yet), original goes to Patreon. Anything unlinked is unfinished or Patreon only or just not posted anywhere.
