Another good writing month, I've written 13.5K this month, with a few more days to go, bringing my annual total to date to 97K, and therefore my goal of 115K-120K is well within reach. I'd be delighted to manage 135K, but have no intention of stressing about it.

I've written something everyday for

small_fandoms using Miss Marple, The Midnight Bell (Bourne), Swan Lake (Bourne), Sleeping Beauty (Bourne) and The Red House Mystery (Milne).

no_true_pair is happening again next month, with 8 characters who each get to meet the other on one day. Posting happens next month, but I've already started writing. These will be on AO3 as 'The Eight are Back!'

I finished the last two challenges for

lands_of_magic The ABC of a Crime (ACD Holmes) which is 26 drabbles in alphabetical order of a crime as related by Watson and Working Out What Happened (Spooks-MI5) werewolf!Lucas 'verse but with Lucas in human form. This was written for the long-standing fandom (I've been writing in this fandom since 2014) and is a follow up to a previous fic. Taking part in these challenges certainly served to increase my writing, but I didn't particularly enjoy them, so will not be continuing.

I'm currently working on

story_works Secret challenge, and am waiting to see where it takes me - I'm in the same situation as my characters - there's a problem but we're not sure what to do about it!

whatif_au has a HiLo Fantasy challenge for these two months and I'm still working on it. I'm at 3,300 words and keep hoping it can tie it up. Or at least get it to the point where this story can be finished, even if it means writing a follow up in a few months time.

And here's my award for completing the

whatif_au bingo last month:

Speaking of bingos, I chose the topic for

allbingo this time but haven't participated. I plan in using the prompts later in the year. However, here's my banner from last month's Winter Fest in July:
