Rewriting the Goals

Only a month since I last wrote about my goals, but that was late and I'd like to get back on track.

Goal 1) Carry on writing all the things.  August was another poor month wordage-wise.  On the other hand, I wrote seven things for fan_flashworks in total, it being amnesty prompt time.  And I now have 42 badges.  *Looks smugly at all the shiny*  However, looking at my writing diary (I'm keeping a record of what I write), the only other thing I wrote was for older_not_dead plus a few drabbles/ficlets for comment_fic.

When I complained about this last month a couple of my flist made helpful suggestions, which I seem to have totally ignored.  Sorry guys!  Even my Lewis magnum opus has failed to progress, but I blame that on FGW - I went to London three times, but only once did the *** train run, so cut back my writing output.

There are a couple of possibilities which might work.  Firstly, sign up to smallfandombang for a third year and use it to drag my Lewis fic into submission.  Although the drabbles I wrote for the summer lewis_challenge are the jumping off point there's nothing else posted, so this wouldn't be a problem.

Or, vix_spes and I were discussing on Twitter the lack of long Adam Carter/Lucas North fics.  I can't sign up for SFB for Spooks, but I could use the timing to maybe write something as long - minimum 10,000 words.  I would however need some ideas for a plot, since I can't write 10,000 words of Lucas angst.  Not exactly true, I probably could, but it would good to have some plot to hand the angst on.

For those of you who have borne with me so far, any thoughts?

Goal 2) Read more and widely.  One of the delights of only working two days a week - I can read later at night and read in the morning!  My next book review should be up later this month.

Goal 3) Moar theatre!  I have a ticket to see Sam Troughton at the Young Vic next month.  *Bounces*  It took an hour to work my way through the queue.  I don't care!  *Bounces some more*

Lastly, it's two years since I began this blogging lark, being encouraged by draycevixen and snailbones to try the 'blog for 30 days' challenge.  I'm extremely grateful to all my flist who have stuck with me and who I feel I now know better.  I hope you continue to find something of interest on occasions.  And for those of you who like my Brownie posts, rest assured we go back on Thursday, so Brownie blogs will start again in a fortnight.
