2022 Writing Goals + January Plan
2022 GOALS
2022 Total Word Count Goal: 150,000
2022 Total Writing Days Goal: 220
Last year I was just under 200k, and while I think 175k is probably a good goal for me in 2022, I'm also not feeling particularly inspired at the moment, so going with the lower number feels safer. 2022 FIC PRIORITIES
January Word Count Goal: 15,000
So far I've written nothing in January due to travel and just general exhaustion. I find I cannot write at all if I'm tired, which is unfortunate, since it's basically my default state. So this might be ambitious, but I am cautiously optimistic that I can get back into the groove...
January Fics to Focus On
Upcoming Fics / Stuff on the back-burner

- Fests: at least 1 Drarry-specific fest and 1 non-Drarry fest. I have a Drarry fest in mind, but the non-Drarry fest is still up in the air!
- Something new: I've still got things on my fannish bucket list and I'd love to check off at least one of them this year! Several items are in progress, so hopefully at least one will come through!
- Possible 2022 Kinktober fic: I had an idea for a kinktober fic this year that would work as a sequel to an existing fic and would have the entire month of kinks as part of one fic. It's a bit ambitious to create a 31-chapter kink!fic that reads as a cohesive narrative so, naturally, it did not happen this year! But I've always wanted to do a fic like this, and I think if I start chipping away at it early, I could potentially make it happen. So I did some brainstorming and light outlining/plotting!
- Wincest Season Codas: lowkey aiming to write one episode-specific coda/missing scene for every season, and so far I'm at 6/15. I'd love to finish these in 2022, but at minimum I'd want to do 6 of the remaining 9.
- Drarry Long!Fic: would love to figure out a way to make this happen, either by sneaking it into a fest, or posting on its own.
- Monthly posting!: LOL, pretty self-explanatory!

January Fics to Focus On
- Vampire!Wincest: go through edits if I get back from beta.
- HP - A Relationship Unravels: go through edits if I get back from beta.
- Wincest Weed!Fic: go through edits if I get back from beta.
- Wincest 5+1: send to beta.
- Wincest S7 Van Blowies: send to beta.
- Wincest Season Codas: lowkey aiming to write one episode-specific coda/missing scene for every season, and so far I'm at 6/15. Would love to write one this month, and I'm in the middle of a S13 rewatch and already have a couple of plotbunnies bouncing around..
- Wincest Panty!Kink: I've got this outlined and probably... 2/3 drafted? Something to work on between other projects. I'd love to finish it this month.
- Dream!Fic - HP: I'd like to work on at least one HP thing this month, and this one is closest to finished so I might try and write at least one scene. happens.Ideally I'd love to finish this month, but we'll see what
Upcoming Fics / Stuff on the back-burner
- Possible 2022 Kinktober fic: still a year away, but never too early to plan! Not actively working on this one, but I may end up poking at the outline in December.
- Drarry Long!Fic: I'd love to pick this up again and finish in 2022 but still figuring out when that might be.
- Monster Daddy Sam Collab: sadly relegated to the back-burner for the moment as my collab buddy has some other projects to focus on.
- Wincest Size!Kink: not a high priority, but something to come back to at some point.
- Wincest Does New Mexico: vaguely outlined plotbunny for me to write at my leisure.
- Sterek!AU: I think I might need to just accept that this is just not happening right now. I've got it outlined but I need to rewatch the movie inspiration to refine, and I've just not been in the mood.
- Taking Chances Sequel: on indefinite hiatus. I've got several pages worth of ideas for the sequel, but it's in no cohesive plot form, and IDK if it'll ever come to life.
- Pile O' Plot Bunnies: I currently have a list of over 20 concrete plot bunny ideas. Some of things I'll try and incorporate into fests or daily deviant themes. Some are sequels or codas to existing fics of mine. There are a couple of ideas here that I REALLY want to write at some point, so I'm always keeping an eye out for a good opportunity to prioritize one of my ideas.
