Something has gone wrong with your HTML in the link, I think. But yes, I'm here and I'm writing!

I would like to finish the second full draft of this novel (earlier than the end of February) and have my submission pack sent out for feedback.

Checking in for the first day! ... I'd like to finish this draft, but I have no idea how realistic that is.

Hello, and thanks for hosting!

I don't really have any set goals this month, just to keep plodding along with writing.

Feb 1st - 825 words on a challenge ficlet.

[osprey_archer]

Checking in for the first day! I got barely any writing done in January, so my goal for February is simply to write at least ten minutes each day, although I'm hoping to work up to longer writing sessions over time.

[garonne]

Very cool that you are hosting this! :)

My goal is to get from 36k to 51k on my long femslash fic.

Check-in day 1: Wrote 600 words

Day 1: Having finished a fic draft yesterday, today I started writing up a meta post which I made notes for a while ago.

Ooh, goals... I would like to make progress on my next Flight of the Heron fic, although I won't aim to finish it as I have no idea how long it's going to be yet. Also I want to sign up for once_upon_fic and make a start on my assignment!

[chestnut_pod]

And we are off!

I am checking in for day one. My goal for the day was to get past a sticky part, which I have done! Flow is restored.

For February as a whole, perhaps I will aim to finish the next three-part section of this WIP of Doom.

Heya! So excited to check-innn lol. I did very little writing in Jan, kind of burned out by everything, so I gave myself a stretch goal of 40k this month! If I get to 20k, I'll be happy though; and a whole host of other plans (https://hogwartstoalexandria.dreamwidth.org/28444.html).

Starting slow on the writing, I wrote a drabble for a drabble_zone amnesty prompt; posted the final tally for January; revealed creators for my flash; set the schedule for the next round of my Silver Streak Flash and watched/listened to a ton of stuff. Oh and spent 30 minutes on Duolingo so, overall a productive day!

[luzula]

Fixed, thank you! And that sounds like a worthwhile goal; I wish you good luck. : )

[luzula]

Got it! Is your draft fiction or nonfiction? *curious*

[luzula]

You're welcome! And good work, 825 words sounds to me like you’re doing more than plodding. : )

[luzula]

That sounds like a good goal! I hope you get carried along beyond your ten minutes. : )

[luzula]

I can really only do so thanks to dictation! Writing so many comments every day along with the posting would have been bad for my hands otherwise...

That is a good goal, and I look forward to reading the results. Good work today!

[luzula]

Good work, and I look forward to reading your meta post! Also whatever results from this month's goals. : )

[badly_knitted]

Thanks! I'm late with this challenge, so I needed to get something written fast.

[luzula]

Good work! Getting past a sticky part can be hard. What fandom is your WIP of Doom in? *curious*

[(Anonymous)]

Fiction! I have a complete draft of my first novel, and am hoping for a complete revised draft, because huge chunks of the thing need to be yanked out and totally reworked.

[luzula]

Wow, 40K is a lot, but that's what stretch goals are for, I guess! Good luck with reaching it, or at least 20K. And good work on your writing and other accomplishments today.

[luzula]

Oh, very cool! I wish you the best of luck with it.

[scribe]

Clocking in at 275 words for today! Not nothing. And a goal to finish this entry in the epistolary story I'm writing with E, so that I can move on to the fic idea waiting in the wings behind it.

[chestnut_pod]

It's in the Silmarillion!

[cathexys]

OK, only 3 sentences, but i've been reading and thinking and...maybe it'll be more tomorrow :)

(And no, haven't tried dictation software yet. At the moment, I'm doing ok as long as I don't sit in the same position for too long...)

hugs

And for myself, I have written 400 words. Total wordcount on this fic: 10,100.

My goal for February is to finish this WIP! I'm guessing it will be about 20K.

[isis]

Well, I'll jump on in, I guess. Today I figured out that I need to change POV on this Chocolate Box treat, and rewrote a bunch of it which ended up adding about 250 net words.

My goals for February are to finish this fic and to make headway on my two Worldbuilding Exchange assignments.

[sylvanwitch]

For February, I have two deadlines of the 15th to submit original short stories, and I’m hoping to have the focus for those tomorrow night.

For today, Day 1, I wrote an alibi poem of 107 words, called, “Walking away from Perdition,” about the dangers of complacency in troubling times.
