callioopeI really want to get in the habit of doing my "goals" post on Sunday, but here we are with Tuesday winding down and I'm just getting to it now.
I'm going to go through with updates from what I wrote about last week:
Anyways. Goal 1b: enough fixating on this.
I clocked in roughly 8,000 words over the weekend. WHEW!! I needed an Ajay from The American President ("Well, if anyone needs me, I’ll be in the Roosevelt room, giving Lewis oxygen.”) Many, many thanks to the wonderfulallatariel for all her support & betaing!!! Indispensable!
For the record... here it is!
Side goals: I do want to post some "visual aids" on tumblr. I collected and edited some of my pics from Turkey, plus found some pics of food to share as well (because apparently we failed spectacularly at taking pictures of the food. Like. What. What were were thinking? We were eating in food in Turkey. Why are there no pics!) So that's a goal for this week/rest of this month. This involves collecting like 4ish pics from each venue they visited and combine venue pics with food and posting the relevant excerpt with it. I think. Who knows plans could change once I get down to doing it.
2. Learning Curve, my May 4th Exchange Fic, chapter 4 (of 4) | due mid January 2019
I believe I've started a draft of the last chapter. I need to sit down and look over what I have written and my outline and get back into the flow of this.
3. How to Lose a Spy in 10 Days
Same as above re: need to sit down and get back in the flow of this. I need lots of help on the plot because mission fic are a real challenge for me and this fic is supposed to jump from mission to mission so, yay for new challenges. But also yikes.
4. You've Got Mail In-Canon Universe AU
I'm going ahead and listing this as number four because I can't stop thinking about it, I'm so excited for this!!! Yes it's set in a galaxy far far away and Lyra Lives because that's my jam (save the moms)!! I partly consider this a chance to explore some plot options I wish I had incorporated into Whatever I Do (sorta like a ... take 2! kinda thing, just partially though).
Yeah, this goal holds. Have not started. Need to get to it.
2. Construct plan for regular Friday Favorites | Due January 2019
This is going to be a fan works rec post for what content I've enjoyed over the past week. I think I'm going to do it on Fridays. Need to think it out. I want to do a digest format with a quick summary and quick thoughts on what I enjoyed about it. This will start the first week in January, that's the plan.
3. Begin early drafts of fandom engagement post. | due end of January 2019
I've started typing up the thoughts I had on scattered post its over the last year and collecting some other writings. Goal is to get this up in January and I'm going to post it here.
4. OH YEAH, and of course, be more active here!
I saw I missed a few things due to being busy with the food travel fic last week, but I hope to be more engaged this week. I will be traveling to visit family over the weekend but I hoooope to be able to sneak away to the computer now and then. (Please, please let me have time bc face-to-face social interaction is draining.)
WELL, it's 11 p.m. here and I need to catch up on some sleep soo, goodnight.
I'm going to go through with updates from what I wrote about last week:
Platform Plans
Still solidifying my plans for platform usage, but I think what I said last week still stands: main hub here for official presence (any kind of serious post, fic posting, etc.), with more casual presences on tumblr and Pillowfort, with a goal for 2019 overall to be to wean myself off tumblr. This latter goal is kind of dependent on Pillowfort's development. There are things tumblr does better, but if so many people are leaving (and innocent sfw blogs getting ... idk, whatever the right word is for being flagged/blocked as nfsw) then I really don't want to be there. Plus, tumblr's kind of addictive in a very non-productive way (mindless scrolling). At least when I'm on Dreamwidth or Pillowfort, I actually feel like I've gotten something positive out of talking to people on here.Anyways. Goal 1b: enough fixating on this.
Fic Writing
1. The next installment of the rebelcaptain food travel AU has been posted!!I clocked in roughly 8,000 words over the weekend. WHEW!! I needed an Ajay from The American President ("Well, if anyone needs me, I’ll be in the Roosevelt room, giving Lewis oxygen.”) Many, many thanks to the wonderful
allatariel for all her support & betaing!!! Indispensable! For the record... here it is!
At the Confluence of History and Hope
Part of the rebelcaptain food travel AU, "tell me what you eat and I will tell you who you are"
Set in Istanbul and Cappadocia
Jyn confronts ancient memories she thought she’d properly buried, learns a little more about Cassian’s history, and is forced outside her comfort zone. Plus some mutual pining.
Side goals: I do want to post some "visual aids" on tumblr. I collected and edited some of my pics from Turkey, plus found some pics of food to share as well (because apparently we failed spectacularly at taking pictures of the food. Like. What. What were were thinking? We were eating in food in Turkey. Why are there no pics!) So that's a goal for this week/rest of this month. This involves collecting like 4ish pics from each venue they visited and combine venue pics with food and posting the relevant excerpt with it. I think.
