scribblemyname: (embrace)
So I don't plan everything, evidence to the contrary notwithstanding. Most of my creative work just happens between the nooks and crannies of my life. For example, this morning, I was thinking that I never write any song lyrics anymore and thought of Jemma and Fitz and next thing I know I have a song.

Siamese Hearts (lyrics) )
So I'd actually like to set this music and the whole gig too (I did record myself singing it :winces: ), but no time for that right now.

Then there's crossposting. I have my own website off of LJ where I was posting quite well and letting it crosspost here. But I generally don't post all my fandom stuff there and Yuletide hit. I have to rebuild the habit of putting content over there. Whoops. I'll get right on that. Next week. Maybe.

Yesterday, I also fired off a fic by accident. I need to have more of these accidents with fic that's actually on the docket. :headdesk:

Hope everyone's doing fairly well. :hugs and prayers and blessings to all of you:
scribblemyname: (T-Minus 2 Days: sibling!Xavier)
Wandering through my friendslist, I discovered a rec of this gem of a writing spreadsheet.

On a whim, I plugged in a 500K goal for the year and plugged in completed fic numbers only with word counts from the day of completion/posting.

My January target, as generated by the spreadsheet, was 42,466 words. My January writing output was 24,497 words.

Fascinating. You won't believe how much of that word count was just commentfic. I also did not count double fills on 10-word and 6-word days. I simply multiplied my number of fills by 10 and 6 respectively.

I'll keep better track now, but I'm already loving this way of doing that.
