April '25 writing goals

[alchemicink]

Almost forgot to write this post! But I also accidentally wrote the date yesterday as March 33?? So I think maybe my brain just thinks April doesn't exist 😂

Anyway, new month, new goals!

Last month's post is here

How'd those goals turn out? Let's see...

Easy goals meant a successful month 😅

1) continue working on Ultraman Arc fics

Success! I have been rotating between several Arc WIPs. Haven't finished any of them yet, but we're getting there. Slowly!

2) try to write a bit for the usual Dreamwidth challenges

Success! Well, technically! I didn't manage anything for femslashfete (tho there were several attempts) but I have written a few things for tokuficathon so far, so that counts!

March was kinda a rollercoaster month, so I'm happy with these little accomplishments.

And now for April:

1) continue working on Ultraman Arc fics

Might as well make this a goal again! After all, as mentioned above, I'm still working on several fics

2) finish the Azula/Suki (atla) fic

Last week, I started on this fic for femslashfete but didn't finish it. (It's gonna be a little longer than a ficlet) So my goal here is to actually finish it, so I can post it for the next amnesty week 🤞 I think it'll be good if I can stay focused on it.

3) write a fic for "If it's with you"

I mentioned recently that I watched this drama series and really enjoyed it! Now I can't stop thinking about a cute little post-canon fluff fic. I did start writing it this past weekend but was more difficult than I expected, so this might be a real challenge! But I'm gonna try 💪 (I struggle these days with "why write it if no one'll read it" but I really need to force myself to get past that! I think working on this fic will help. I thrive on writing cute fluff)

4) hanami fics!

I did a little personal fic project last year where I wrote a few fics featuring hanami (Japanese cherry blossom viewing party) in some way. This was for several fandoms and I had ideas I didn't get around to writing last year, so I'd like to circle back and write a few more of them this year 🌸

And that's it! I just want to keep my goals pretty simple this month. (Because I know I'll probably end up writing a lot of other things too 🥰)

Good luck to everyone else with their own creative endeavors this April!

I think that easy goals for a successful month is a great approach! And I’m eyeing all these mentions of Ultraman Arc with 😍

Good luck with your goals!

I’m not quite as organized (and still haven’t even managed to get back on Dreamwidth properly) but I bought a full year poster at the beginning of the year and I’m trying to be more simplified and organized with stuff, and it’s sort of maybe working? I ended up not only finishing my original assignment for kpop_olymfics, and my project for podficbigbang, but also picking up and writing a pinch hit (for olymfics) in less than a week, and I’m 🤞 in good shape for my May zine deadline, which should be done before voiceteam. (And ficwip has a virtual writing retreat this weekend again, which might help). It’s hard to try to keep to mostly one thing at a time! I’m not sure how you manage to juggl everything but I’m always impressed! 💕

I'm working on one of my Arc WIPs today actually 🥰

It sounds like you've accomplished a lot so far! Congratulations 🥳 and good luck with the upcoming work too! (The virtual writing retreat sounds like it will be helpful)

I don't know how I manage to juggle everything either tbh 😅
