Sept writing goals
AFAIC, September starts the new year where I live so I'm going to try something new.
I've never had success counting daily words written because it doesn't reflect my style of writing (writing is almost entirely rewriting). I'm going to try something new this month and perhaps for the whole year: counting words published.
What counts?

I've never had success counting daily words written because it doesn't reflect my style of writing (writing is almost entirely rewriting). I'm going to try something new this month and perhaps for the whole year: counting words published.
What counts?
- Posted fic - drabbles, short one-offs, and posted scene/chapter drafts (I aim to post at least 5 fic posts per week on tumblr)
- Essays, meta, and well thought out responses (a bit of a judgment call here as to what counts and what doesn't)
- Fic I cannot yet post due to challenge restrictions (but it goes in a special category-- the waiting for publication category?)
- Final archived fic on AO3 - again, this is a bit of a judgment call based on how much editing/writing/rewriting I need to do before posting an archival version of a story. If I do no more than format 20 tumblr posts into a few chapters (maybe fixing a typo or two), I don't think I'll count it, or I'll only count it as "archived words." If I need to do significant work editing, rewriting, and adding new text, I'll .... I don't know what I'll do?! Maybe I'll just count it all as "archived words?" Hm. TBD as the month moves onward.
== GOALS ==
Must do - top priority:
- Finish writing and editing the 7000 word DA Kinkmeme story I wrote LAST FREAKING MARCH for a Cullen/Amell/Alistair prompt and post/archive.
