If you must blink, do it now.
I was waiting for a new thread but since we're still using this one: I resolved to write (at least) 500 words every day of 2019. That's 182,500 words by the end of December; 15,500 by the end of January.

Just getting into the habit for now. In February or March I'll shoot for something structured, like working on a single contiguous story. I'll share my total word count at the end of each month.

:toxx:

January check in.



No spillover allowed between months, nor most days (with very particular exceptions), so the goal to hit for February is 31,382 minimum (since I'm counting things cumulatively).

That shouldn't be necessary, I'm just clarifying: I'm not writing towards some goal that, once hit, I can take a load off and stop writing. Going over budget January doesn't mean I have to write less words in February, so I'm providing the number I have to beat, not the ceiling I need to meet.

Needed to afford myself some flexibility on this one. Got a new apartment and had to spend the second half of the month moving in, piece by piece, alongside a bunch of other work-related nonsense.

Meant to have this up sooner but I was visiting my folks and for some reason their Internet service provider decided Imgur was the bad site, no access.

October check in. Fell a bit behind due to some medical malarkey that took me by surprise and put me to roost for a few days, but caught up eventually and here I am (hopefully all better).

Reporting within 24 hours of this post. Lots of shenanigans on my end these past two months, plenty of them unpleasant.

Granted, my December ended up packed, so a fair bit of the home stretch ended up being "Letter of the law" gibberish, but the point (in my mind) was to write something to get in the habit and just practice, practice, practice, so I'm fine with it.
