Writing - January 2024

[smallhobbit]

Well, not too bright a start to 2024, with only 8,000 words this month.  I'm not going to stress though - if I don't have things I want to write, or when I do write things they aren't very long, that's just the way it goes.

I completed posting for The Latest Twelve Days of Christmas even though most of those were written last year.

whatif_au had a Winter Wonderland challenge, for which I wrote Mycroft Holmes' Winter Wonderland which I'm planning on turning into a series.

ficlet_zone 's reversal titles prompt was Frasier, for which I created We Two Kings, a Holmes retirement story.

I wrote a couple of gift fics as follow ups to earlier stories: Competition Winners for debriswoman being the results of the competition in the Christmas supplement of the Marylebone Monthly Illustrated and Presents from Father Christmas showing what the werewolf had from Santa.

Cream Teas for Two was for fan_flashworks Cream Challenge and an opportunity to write in a Lucas/Adam AU series.

I've also written for candyheartsex and seasonsofdrabbles but those are not yet revealed.

Lastly, I'm currently writing a long, convoluted story in the Discworld fandom based on prompts from vialethe which involves Ridcully, pastel bunnies and tartan hamsters.  This will be posted next month.

Sounds like a very commendable output:-)

Thank you. My goal for the year is 120K, so I'm down compared to that, but it's early and if in the end I don't make it, it doesn't matter.

January is always a slow month, I think, because we're coming off of the holidays. But 8k is a solid start.

[smallhobbit]

That's true, so hopefully I'll catch up.

What's this "only" 8k? 8k is huge! Well done, Hobbit!

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much. My aim for the year is 120k, so I'm looking for 10k per month. But if it doesn't happen it doesn't happen.
