Fic Status Update

I haven’t done one of these in a while because I hit a real writing slump. It was embarrassing only listing one fic in a month so I stopped. Doing it mid-month seems a bit odd but I really admire @worryinglyinnocent for their schedule and how organized and dedicated they are (hope you don’t mind the tag, you are brilliant!). I used to be a little bit like that and now my real life is starting to settle again, I’m hoping to regain my oomph and get back to at least writing semi-regularly. Therefore mid-month or not I’m not waiting until a more auspicious date 🙂

Under the cut is a list of what I’ve posted since the last time I did one of these. However first I’m going to talk about my plans. I know that probably means they’ll fall apart in an instant (plans are like that) but having some kind of path to follow, is much easier than being all at sea.

If there’s one thing I’m good at it’s lists. I have:
– 3 WIP’s
– 5 non-posted WIP’s
– 5 started fics
– 8 continuation ideas
– 17 new ideas
Total = 38

I was all at sea. It’s been so long not even my WIP’s seemed particularly pressing. I really needed a deadline or some kind of schedule. I talked with a friend who said to ease back into it with a oneshot. I looked through my list and … *drum roll* I only had 1 idea out of 38 that didn’t look like a multi-chapter. Is that ooops or good? Who knows.

Anyway THE PLAN is to write that oneshot and post it on Tuesday (yay for posting something heh). Then the Tuesday after post a chapter of a WIP (*falls over* I know right?), then the Tuesday after that a chapter of another WIP. So all I’m demanding is a chapter a week to begin with. Once I’ve got started it might well ramp up to more but I’m trying to be reasonable.

PLUS I’ve got so unfocused even with reading. There’s authors I absolutely adore who have posted fics I haven’t read. I’ve got behind on everything (psst I’m even behind on gifsets) it’s getting a bit silly. I mean I know my focus is bad when I can’t even sit and read a fic without my mind wandering. It used to be more like I’d be trying to write and my mind would wander to read a fic.

So yes now it’s in black and white, so I kinda have to do it or face eternal shame. You hear that self? Go word!
