Dec. 24th, 2018 12:06 amI want to sit and do a retrospective, but I still have holiday stuff to do, so I'll wait. I get a sense I won't be happy when I do it. To be fair, I never am. Last year I found I kinda failed in my goals, and I don't think this year I did much better. I think my wordcount/fics get less and less. I don't know if it's because my editing process is more involved or what.
But I'm soon to reach the climax in Citadel and my issues with it have really made me gnash my teeth at the fact that it's a midlength (prob 25k-30k max when I'm done). On the other hand, this is not the type of premise I can pull 50K+ in any universe for a number of reasons. So I just have to accept the limitations of the form. Not to mention it's a fucking Halloween fic I'm writing in DECEMBER. How did that happen when I said I wouldn't write anything new in Oct. and would just focus on closing shit? Oh I know. It's a hazard when I get a writing bud.
The fact that I'm angsting so much means I'm turning green pastures in my head. There's that remix I have 0 words for, there's the final part of Adyton (Mnemotherapy! I LOVE OBSCURE FORCE SHIT), there's ugh Phantasmagoria (which I'm resigned will be a clusterfuck), but like all of these are sounding better than the colosal rewrites I will no doubt have to do on part 4 of Citadel.
