Wow this month sucked in my offline life, and for once it was external things instead of internal things, though of course, the mood disorder made dealing with the external things approximately eight billion times harder. What makes me saddest about all of this, though, is that I think if life hadn't sucked so bad this would've been a good month. Because dealing with my mood disorder could have been so much worse given how stressful and despair-inducing everything was, and it actually. . . wasn't? Like, it was bad, I had a legit suicidal night, which I haven't had in a decade, but I recovered fairly quickly from each awful low point. But then every time I made a bit of a recovery, something else came along to derail me all over again. Which meant I didn't get much writing done, to get me back on track with the point of this post.
So this month I wrote a scenery porn ficlet in my JATWITB 'verse (Get Their Good Tidings), a rant about the racism in Jacqueline Carey's Agent of Hel series ( here on LiveJournal), and a bit of meta about why white feminists' lavish praise of the Bechdel Test-passing Thor gets under my skin a bit (here on tumblr). I also wrote a bit more on my Sam/Steve kink fill, a very little bit more on the catgirl!Helena fic, and a couple Elementary ficlets for JoanBell Fest 2014 that will be going up tomorrow and Saturday. I did not write a formal book review, though in my head the rant essentially counts.
Looking at July, I've received my assignments for the marvel_poc fanworks fest and rarepairfest; I've received prompts from my 100 follower fic giveaway winner on tumblr; I really want to finish the original erotica; and I'm starting to feel really fucking guilty about how long people have been waiting on chapter two of Slow Ripening Fruit. I've been thinking about it a lot, but the whole Marion Zimmer Bradley thing fucked with my brain in a way that is making this particular chapter really hard to write. And someday soon the next round of polybigbang is going to get up and running, and I really want to try it again this year because I wrote over 5,000 words last year that aren't going to see the light of day if I don't. In terms of word count, in June I fell a bit over 2,000 words short of what I needed to stay on track for 75,000 words for the year. For July I now need 6,683 words to stay on track for 75,000 and 10,850 to get on track for 100,000.
