Oops, I nearly forgot to check in, I was so darn sleep deprived yesterday! Anyway, happy New Year to you both! I feel the same as ysilme that I don't do New Year's Resolutions, but the beginning of a new year still invites the sense of starting anew, looking ahead, thinking about my goals and evaluating how I do things.
I've decided not to sign up for anything word-count oriented this year, I'll just keep checking in here and have my own qualitative goals, which have to do with specific things I want to write. In January, I want to finish at least one of the two short original short stories I started last month - both are science fiction with f/f, I call one solarpunk though it's not very punk yet, and the other might qualify more generally as futuristic hopepunk - and send one or both onward. Otherwise, I hope to work on my more long-term writing goals. There is the historical novel I've been working on since last July, though I feel like it could use another break and some time to figure out what I'm doing with it. I'm thinking I could use some of January specifically for that, rather than push on writing it, but we'll see how things work out. I also have my so-called ambush project, which started as just something little to write when I was in Ireland in August, and has kind of blown up since then. It's also lesbian science-fiction, and I'm winging the world and the plot as I go, and it wants to be longer than short fiction. I'd love to do a little more on that again as well.
I'm planning to sign up for Chocolate Box, and it would be nice to get my assignment written already in January. I've also signed up for a femslashficlets prompt table where the prompts are queer women's literature quotes, and I'd like to get started on them.
Anyway, on the 1st I worked a bit on the more advanced of the two short stories, the solarpunk one. I also wrote down some ideas for the femslash prompt table!
