Yay I haven’t done asks in ages. I forgot how fun it is 🙂 Thank you so much!
9. Short term goals… what do you hope to complete this week or in January?
This week? I’m aiming to write everyday but my focus is on art. I’m doing a 12 panel comic/art thing on creativity for my universities comic book and it’s due on the 7th. Writing will always be my main thing but I’d like to get better at art. Signing up for my (probably rubbish) drawings to be published is probably a bit dumb but hey at least it’s making me stick to a creative deadline for the first time in six months.
In January? I really want to finish my novel. I know that’s not the answer I should give on tumblr because it should be my fic WIP’s. It’s just I started this damn book October 2016 and I’m still only just halfway through. I want to be done with it. I also want to go through some feedback I got on another novel and maybe do the edits. To be honest as much as I hate to say it I don’t think I’ll get to fanfic this month *hides*
10. Will you keep a record of all the fics you write and/or post this year?
Always hehe 🙂 I am the Emperor of tracking. My “fanfic year in review” wasn’t very accurate on word count because I was lazy – not because I couldn’t have totalled it to the last word because I totally could have.
Forget entire fics I can look back and tell you how much I wrote on a specific day – on a specific story. When I focus write I keep note of how much I write in the set time frame, so I can see how my speed/focus is doing. I love tracking because it shows me what I’ve done, and helps me formulate goals to do better because I’m never satisfied.
Actually forget writing I just track everything which is probably why I’m so in love with my new Apple Watch. Steps, stairs, distance, heartrate, sleep – I’m in stats heaven. Plus I installed this new app on my phone called HabitBull to remind me to drink enough water, hoover the house, read books etc. It timestamps when I do it and how many times if applicable. Same with words done everyday or hours spent drawing etc.
TLDR – Yup tracking is my thing 🙂
