Writing Goals/Calendar: February 2025

January! It happened!

( And how did it go? )

My goals for February:

• Continue working on the iddy romance. Maybe finish it this month? I don't think that's terribly likely: I will lose several days to a trip with mom and Taylor, and have also not been doing much with it yet this month. But perhaps! Maybe if I hit closer to 1000 words per day, I'll get close.
• Definitely finish my friend's chapter. This should only take another couple of days at most.
• Outline the Cyberpunk AU. I did read Trouble and Her Friends, which helped me get a bit of the right vibe for the genre, so now I just need to actually outline the story! 

For March and beyond:

• I haven't been great at interrupting what I'm working on to work on something else, which is a longer standing problem that I've been trying to address. Maybe this will be a baby steps sort of process, where instead of my previous preference, where I worked only on a single thing from initial outline until completion and posting, now perhaps I finish the rough draft of one project, and then feel able to do some outlining of other projects... I don't want to kill what momentum I have for writing the iddy romance rough draft by flipping to the outlining of a different project. So the Cyberpunk outline may get shuffled farther down the timeline as I focus on finishing the current rough draft.
• Start attempting the snowflake method of outlining for the Worldhopping Fairytale Monstrosity fic. This is again, something that will happen once I get there.
• Outline the second iddy romance.
• Start the rough draft of the Cyberpunk AU.
• Figure out how I want to split up the workload for the Worldhopping Fairytale Monstrosity, so that I can work on it in smaller pieces.
• Re-outline and then rewrite the first iddy romance.

A little annoying that I feel like I've been working fairly steadily, but haven't actually gotten to strike anything off the list! Though like I said above, it's hard to be too frustrated when it feels like progress is at least getting made. Not sure if I expected a bit too much, or if I just delivered a bit too little in terms of wordcount... but I will be glad it's not been nothing.
