respoftw | Writing Goals for 2018

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!
