What I hope February might bring:

– A fic based on the A Monthly Rumbelling Event if I am inspired by any of the prompts.

I had big plans for January and basically epic failure. Thanks to a lot of random prompts I managed a last minute bump to get up to about ½ of my normal monthly word count. In fact I haven’t written this little in a month since June of last year and I’m not at all happy about it. January is the start of the year, so much for starting as I mean to go on. Anyway, I can’t change it so there’s no point in dwelling. The priority, for the upcoming month as always, is to finish my WIP’s. There’s so much more I want to write but I always finish what I start.

Endangered Slug posted a February Prompt Challenge which is a fantastic idea, but utterly terrible for me because I don’t know when to stop. Those random ficlets I did have spawned three new WIP’s. I really don’t need anymore ideas. I’m booked up and know what I’m writing practically for the next five years already. So I’m going to change the challenge a little bit. In the challenge post it said – “The goal is to write something – anything – every day for the month of February.” – and that’s what I’m going to do. I’m going to pretend like it’s November and I need to get my digital pixel badge.

Hopefully February can be the month of finishing things. That would be nice 🙂
