Writing Goals for 2018

[respoftw]

I made a few writing goals for 2017 around this time last year which I actually managed to achieve! So, with that in mind, here are some goals for 2018.

1. Breach the 30k word count barrier
For the longest time, I struggled to write anything beyond 2-3k. There's nothing wrong with that and I still do find that length of fic to be my niche and what I'm best at but I really want to continue to develop my longer fic. I got past 20k in 2017, I'm coming for 30k in 2018!

2. Branch out pairing wise
I often bemoan the lack of fic in some of my rarer SGA pairings that I like and I need to stop moaning and start writing. In particular, I really want to write some Rodney/Ronon and Rodney/Caldwell.

3. Participate in more fic exchanges/writing challenges
At the moment I have Apocalypse Kree and picfor1000 in 2018 and have a couple of low-pressure bingo cards. I want to get involved a bit more on that side of things in 2018 (any suggestions or recommendations are welcome)

4. Keep Enjoying It
I fic for fun. I have zero interest in writing for a living; I'm an accountant and I'm much better with numbers than I ever will be with words. So, if I'm not enjoying the writing, I'm not doing it right!

My two favorite multifandom exchanges is Yuletide and ChocolateBox. I'm sure there are a gazillion more though. Good luck with all your writerly goals!

Good luck with your writing goals!

I love trope_bingo if you're not already playing in that sandbox. There's also rounds_of_kink.

If you like small fandoms I'm going to toss out some of my comms: smallfandombang (open for artist sign-ups right now), smallfandomfest (this round ends Jan 31, next round begins May 1), and smallfandomflsh (new prompts every two weeks).

I have the same trouble with the length of fic, though I haven't yet managed to progress as far as 20k! You can do it!

So can you!
