April was, simultaneously, nothing like what I expected and more than I’d hoped for at the same time. It was a weird mix. I met some of the goals I mentioned having in the March round-up post, but not all of them. Overall, I feel pretty good about what I’ve managed, even if it’s not quite what I’d planned.
Total wordcount: 16, 513
Highlights:
Highest monthly wordcount of 2022 so far
Added 1.6k to the novel rewrite; while far below the goal I’d set, it’s still progress
Successfully finished—and posted—the Hanahaki fic for Shey (which can be found here)
Dipped my toes into a new fandom, and banged out and posted a short Jaskier/Eskel piece as a birthday gift (here)
Started planning—and writing posts for—my own Patreon page, which will be focussed on offering writing help (will post more on that as things get ready/closer to launch)
Started another birthday piece for another friend
Worked a little on the Stalion Neckz ‘n Throats fic I started a few months ago
Plans for May:
Get back on track with the novel rewrite; 5k is the goal
Finish the starting set of Patreon posts, and set up the page itself
Finish and post the two birthday pieces I have planned for the month
Literally cannot wait for @dropdafawkz to get home tomorrow to witness what I definitely didn’t get up to while they were out of town and I was in possession of a key to their place
The way I could just leave my roommate and drive home
I keep saying, I’ve done nothing! Everything is fine! I even turned out some lights that had been left on!
THERE IS A TWO PERSON KAYAK IN MY BEDROOM
Oh, life vests are probably a good idea
I actually just processed that it’s a two person hell yeah let’s take that bitch to Tallulah
You know, I myself was a surprise gift to my parents. Dad was so happy that he immediately got a vasectomy.
