Writing Goals and Plans

[(Anonymous)]

hello fellow coalies

what are your ambitions for this year of Yuletide and how do you plan to support yourself to achieve them?

Re: Writing Goals and Plans

GOAL: Finish my assignment by December 1
How:
-very restrictive offers with short canon review

(Before anyone points out that I should give my recipient due care, believe me, ensuring that a beta has time to look at my assignment will markedly improve it, and also I often get second and third ideas for a fic while working on the first one)


GOAL: Write one treat
How:
-idk, man, be nice to myself? I'm hoping I can consume a totally new canon that gives me fresh ideas and prompts me to write immediately.

I'd also like to finish my assignment by the first of December, if I can! Other than that, "more treats than last year" is the big one. I'm going to try to go through letters I like and take down some notes before assignments are out. That way, I can set them aside and focus on my assignment, but I'll have some ideas for treats to come back to once my assignment's done, instead of starting from scratch in December.

I'd like to write at least three treats. Two if I pick up a pinch hit.

I'm only treating, not signing up, so I'm hoping to do multiple treats. Maybe 5? Though if I can find the time and make them good, not kittyfic, my ultimate goal would be able to do a treat or two a week until work reveals. So 8-16-ish? But that's very ambitious. 5 is safer, and still not guaranteed.

I've never written a treat before! My goal this year is to write at least one, once the collection is live and I can see if any of my fandoms are lacking. This just means I need to get my main gift written sooner rather than later. I write shortfic best in big spurts... I'm thinking I'll set aside an afternoon sometime after I get my assignment and power through a first draft. (And if it gets long, then... I'll see how I go.)
