I go out for one day yesterday and come back to a week's worth of emails/LJ posts - how does that happen?
I have written 110 words plus a blog post. I'm supposed to be writing another short spooky fic, doing the washing up and tidying the floor where I dumped everything last night. And apparently I need to go to work tomorrow. Aarrgh. November was supposed to begin with me being cool, calm and collected.
I'm so happy to see everyone! And a few familiar faces we haven't seen around here in a while. ::waves::
Okay, time to weigh in with my own monthly goals. They're pretty simple. I have a challenge due at the beginning of December, and one due at the end. So, I need to finish up the first one and get started on the second one.
And we won't talk about the big bang due in January. Nope.
I'm coming off a ten fic posting high last month, so I'm hoping the words will keep flowing and I didn't use them all up. ::bites nails::
In a nice bit of diversity, all three upcoming fic deadlines are for different fandoms: SGA, H50 and Sentinel. My big three. Here's hoping I don't need deadline extensions! ::fingers crossed::
November goals: Don't Fail School, Which Means Everything Handed In On Fucking Time, Self.
That's depressing, but true. BUT. For a happier goal: finish a fic.
Fandom is Hunger Games, because bizarrely playing around in that world makes me happy (I'm just going to ignore One Big Thing and write canon!AUs, la). School is second term of a diploma in Library Services. Headspace is....awful. RL is being highly stressful on the fambly front, which is causing mental health flare up. But! Ten minutes a day will be awesome, as I feel so much better doing that.
But it'll have to wait until after work, as I need to leave the house in, oh, three minutes and am currently not yet dressed.
That is an excellent goal! *\o/* Not as much fun as just writing, maybe, but once you finish school think how much more free time you'll have. ::grins::
As long as writing posts counts then I'm good. :P RL is kicking my butt at the moment so I'm not sure I can even manage the 10 minutes a day, but imma try! *clings to Shoobies*
As far as goals....Survive November and December? Maybe write a drabble or two? We'll see. This looks like the year where I'll be more of a reader than writer. I've already dropped out of a big fest (something I hated to do but it was necessary - I wasn't going to do it justice).
Hi, I'm Nea, I've fallen into Marvel and I'm trying to write a Ward/Fitz fix-it AU. Because I'm not very happy with season 2 of Agents of SHIELD so far (I'm on episode 221), and because I have a thing for height differences. And nerds..
My November goals: a) write daily. At least 100 words. I made 150 today, so all's good. b) go with the flow for the AU and catch up with season 3. c) When the flow stops, touch the Being Human crossover that I hoped to write last year.
Current headspace: I have no idea how to go from angsty to kissy in that AU in a believable way, so the flow is slow and full of doubts. Meh. But I'm not giving up. Real life is acting up, too, out of a sudden and all I can think of is WHYYYYYYYYY? Why the hell in November, of all months?!

Reading is important, too. And just think how many more stories you'll have to tell once you're feeling more like yourself.

Your November goals sound really good, and very doable. Good luck! *\o/*
Uh, flow. Common problem for me as well. Transitions can be so haaaard! I know you'll work it out, though. You can do it!
::hugs for RL crap::
