Writing Update (3/18/18)
I’m trying to put myself on a much more regular writing schedule, attempting to turn writing into a steady habit instead of something that happens a) only when inspiration strikes or b) when I have some kind of submission deadline looming in less than 48 hours. Hopefully semi-regularly tracking my progress publicly will help me stay motivated. I figured Sunday nights to recap the previous week and plan for the next were a good idea.
These updates will mostly be for my own benefit, so I’m putting the nitty-gritty under a read more so as not to bore people.
Current Projects: 3
Untitled Captain America Reverse Big Bang Fic (UCARBB)
The Opposite of Dying (TOOD)
To the Waters and the Wild (TTWATW)
(Tentative) Upcoming Projects: 5
Untitled Captain America “Groundhog Day”-style fic (because I’m a sucker for that plot)
Untitled Inhumans revisitation (...but, like, good)
Untitled Crimson Peak revisitation (more lesbian tension because c’mon)
Untitled “Eye of the Beholder” inspired Jessica Jones AU (will be credited as “inspired by” with a link to the original on Ao3)
Untitled Doctor Who original flavor, “weekly-episode” style fic (Harry Potter crossover)
Projects On Hiatus: None.
Untitled Captain America Reverse Big Bang Fic: An MCU/Captain America fic for a community challenge based on a lovely piece of fanart. Currently top priority as it is the only project with an external deadline. A Steve, Natasha, and Bucky character study with meta elements to the plot.
Draft: Outline
Current Word Count: 0
Word Count Goal: 5,000
Percent Word Count Completion: 0%
Deadline: May 19 (Saturday) - 62 Days Remaining
Notes: I have settled on a premise and begun very vaguely imagining an outline, though I am missing some key connective tissue for the plot and have no discrete individual scenes sketched out as of yet. I have solid ideas for characterization for my main protagonists’ mindsets and emotional arcs, and a rough outline of the original antagonists. I know how it starts and ends.
This Week’s Goal: A completed outline of the full plot and individual scenes. At least 500 words in the rough draft. The weekly word count goals should go up as a) I will have finished the outline and will know where I’m going better and b) get into the swing of writing this particular fic.
The Opposite of Dying: A semi-abandoned multi-fandom roleplay posted to a private forum that I am hoping to revisit and begin writing again. A realistic take on the self-insert genre.
Draft: Rough Draft
Cumulative Word Count: 11,344
Current Word Count: 0
Word Count Goal: 200/week
Percent Word Count Completion: 0%
Deadline: 3/25 (Sunday) - 7 Days Remaining
Notes: Started back in mid 2016 with a goal of 200 words a week after about 4-5 years of existing as an oral epic poem between an irl friend and I. From the beginning it had a spotty updating schedule - I last worked on it in early 2017. I hope to pick it back up with a short weekly post as the story already exists fairly fully formed (though ongoing) in my head and my friend might strangle me with impatience otherwise.
This Week’s Goal: Reread and revise all previous posts to re-familiarize with the fic and so I can keep the tonal and stylistic flow consistent despite the hiatus.
To the Waters and the Wild: A semi-abandoned Harry Potter group roleplay on a private forum that I am hoping to revisit and begin writing again. A cast of OCs at Hogwarts.
Draft: Rough Draft
Cumulative (Personal) Word Count: 2,968
Current Word Count: 0
Word Count Goal: 200/week
Percent Word Count Completion: 0%
Deadline: 4/8 (Sunday) - 21 Days Remaining
Notes: Started back in mid 2015 as a roleplay between friends in which I set a personal goal of 800 words every 3 weeks. From the beginning it had a spotty updating schedule - trying to juggle a handful of different writers was difficult and I personally last worked on it in mid 2016. I hope to pick it back up and continue the story, which was roughly planned out to the end. Even if I can’t bait the others back in I’d like to finish my part.
This Week’s Goal: Reread and revise all previous posts to re-familiarize with the fic and so I can keep the tonal and stylistic flow consistent despite the hiatus
Recap:
Current Projects: 3
Past Week’s Word Count: 0
Percentage of Past Week’s Goal Met: N/A
Upcoming Projects: 5 ideas for new fics, but I will not be starting on any of them until UCARBB is complete
Upcoming Week’s Goals: Full outline and individual scene roadmaps for UCARBB. Reread and revise all previous posts of both TOOD and TTWATW to re-familiarize with the fics and so I can keep the tonal and stylistic flow consistent despite the hiatus.
Projected Week’s Wordcount: 500 new words (all for UCARBB)
Writing Update (3/25/18)
How did my desire to keep a steady writing schedule go this week? Well, I put it all off until Sunday, of course! And then ended up being surprisingly busy Sunday, so saying I didn’t devote as much time to it as I wanted would be a massive understatement. Basically, I’m in the same spot I was last week.

Percent Word Count Completion: 0%
Deadline: 3/25 (Sunday) - 7 Days Remaining
Notes: It was quicker and easier to get back into the swing of this than it was my other ongoing fics, seeing as I was still at the editing-what-I-wrote-two-years-ago stage instead of producing new content. I read and re-familiarized myself with everything I did before, so now my plan is to edit it and continue.
This Week’s Goal: Edit all previous posts to keep the tonal and stylistic flow consistent despite the hiatus.
