Words Written This Week: 11,750 (Down a bit from last week, which makes total sense considering I’m mostly doing second drafts of things I’ve already written, rather than writing new stuff.)

3,383 on the next thing in the GAL/TAL ‘verse, tentatively called “Big Ideas and a Little Behind.” This was all second draft additions, so now I need to do an edit round, an out loud round, and a final SPAG round before I post. Hopefully either late this week or early next.

962 on Sekrit Project, which I’ve slowed down on because if I’m going to do it for the CBB I don’t actually have to think about it for a while

6,101 on MerBucky rewrites, which puts me through Chapter 13 for the second draft. Have I mentioned I think it’s a much better story this time around?

1,304 on the fourth story in the GAL/TAL verse, because I got weirdly inspired earlier in the week and wanted to do something from Steve’s POV. No idea when I’ll finish this one, but hey, the brain wants what it wants.

Did I Make My Goals?

~~Edit chapters 7-11 of merBucky~~
Yes! All the way through Chapter 13!
Chapters 5 and 6 of Sekrit Project
Still nope. I worked on Chapter 5 but yeah.

WIP Updates/Goals for Next Week:

To Write & Edit:

Edit chapters 14-20 of MerBucky
Line edit Big Ideas
Finish Chapter 5 of Sekrit Project. Just chapter 5!

To Publish:

Once again, maybe the GAL/TAL story, depending on circumstances

Things that are likely to fuck with my progress:

Busier week this week than last
IDK things are probably fine!

Words Written This Week: 14,519 (Down about 400 words from last week, but considering how much of this was editing, I’m not complaining. I’ve been having a weird mental health week, too, so that’s certainly been coloring my view on a few things. Don’t let mean people get in your head, kids. It never ends well, and their smug, self-righteous asses will never know how much they hurt you.)

10,135 on the three-quel to practice my maintenance which I’m just calling the GAL/TAL verse from now on. This is the longest one, so far, and while it is still filthy, it also delves slightly more into the, like, feelings side of things. Namely: Bucky, he has them.

4,384 on MerBucky edits, which meets my goal of getting through Chapter 6 on first round rewrites. I probably wrote way more than this, in total, but I also cut and reworked a ton, along with giving Steve a personality transplant. So, I guess this is more net gain, but it is my process, so here we are.

Did I Make My Goals?

~~Finish next Give a Little, Take a Little story~~
Yup!
~~Edit chapters 2-6 of merBucky~~
Yes!
Chapter 5 and 6 of Sekrit Project
This didn’t even get touched. Wah.

WIP Updates/Goals for Next Week:

To Write & Edit:

Edit chapters 7-11 of merBucky
Chapters 5 and 6 of Sekrit Project

To Publish:

Maybe the GAL/TAL story, if I have time to do a thorough rewrite on it

Things that are likely to fuck with my progress:

Anxiety and depression rearing their ugly heads, but hey, I have therapy on Wednesday so at least I can talk to someone about it
Work & school, as per usual

Words Written This Week: 14,945 (Up a little bit from last week, which is surprising, considering. But I’m not about to look a surprise up-count in the mouth. Or something like that.)

3,470 on Catchweight, my Marvel Trumps Hate Shrinkyclinks fill. It’s done! It’s marinating in its own juices for a while until I feel up to editing.

5,811 on Sekrit Project, which finished one chapter and started another, and Jesus Christ, this one.

1,225 on Ring-a My Phone, the sequel to practice my maintenance. This one was so much fun that I’m already working on a third, but no guarantees as to when it might come out. Probably not this week, not going to lie.

1,725 on MerBucky edits, putting me through the prologue and Chapter 1. Only…42 chapters left to go. LOL. Fuuuuuuuuck. It’s fine. This is fine.

Did I Make My Goals?

~~Edit pmm sequel~~
Yes!
Chapter 15 and epilogue of Catchweight
Yes!
~~Chapter 4 of Sekrit Project~~
Yes, and part of Chapter 5!
~~Chapter 1-2 of merBucky (eeeeee)~~
I’m saying yes because I forgot it had a prologue.

WIP Updates/Goals for Next Week:

To Write & Edit:

Finish next Give a Little, Take a Little story
Edit chapters 2-6 of merBucky
Chapter 5 and 6 of Sekrit Project

To Publish:

Probably nothing

Things that are likely to fuck with my progress:

Work continues to be busy
My back feels (slightly) better and I haven’t seen people in like a month. I’m desperate to go out.

Words Written This Week: 13,231 (Down considerably from last week, but that's not surprising. On the positive front, I have a diagnosis for my pain issues and a few upcoming PT appointments to get things set.)

5,546 on Catchweight, my Marvel Trumps Hate Shrinkyclinks fill. One more chapter and an epilogue left on this one, which I think I have plotted out now. Then, I’ll let it rest.

0 on Sekrit Project which I’m now thinking might be my CBB entry if I do it this year.

2,204 on practice my maintenance (as hard as you can), which was the surprise hit of the week. More people have my id than I thought, who knew. But then I got made to feel like total shit about it by a friend, so THAT is also fun. Shrug! SHRUUUUG!

5,481 on a...sequel square to practice my maintenance. This one fills the “phone sex” square and y’all are terrible enablers, but the world was too compelling not to continue. Don’t know if I’ll have it edited and posted this week, but I’m going to try.

Did I Make My Goals?

~~Edit Spanking Bench~~
Yes!
Chapters 13-14 of Catchweight
Yes!
Chapters 4-5 of Sekrit Project
Sadly, no, this one didn’t get touched

WIP Updates/Goals for Next Week:

To Write & Edit:

Edit pmm sequel
Chapter 15 and epilogue of Catchweight
Chapter 4 of Sekrit Project
Chapter 1-2 of merBucky (eeeeee)

To Publish:

Maybe pmm sequel.

Things that are likely to fuck with my progress:

Work is busy
I am feeling the faint tinglings of burnout

Title: practice my maintenance (as hard as you can)

Square Filled: O3 - Spanking Bench

Ship: Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes

Rating: E

Summary: Bucky’s nearly thirty and has never been spanked. For most people, this wouldn’t be a pressing concern. Bucky is not most people.

Words Written This Week: 23,309 (Jesus fuckstick Christ. Two kink bingo squares written in a week will do that to ya, I guess. Seriously, though, it’s a lot easier to let smut and silliness pour forth than it is to think through longform plot and nuance. There’s a big split in the “fun” words I wrote versus the “part of a larger narrative” words I wrote. Something to ponder, I guess.)

4,907 on Catchweight, my Marvel Trumps Hate Shrinkyclinks fill. I’m a ways into Chapter 13. Slowly but surely, because it’s the action scenes, and I hate writing action, so I’ve been trying to pace myself and not stress too much about it, since I know it’s going to suck on the first go around.

5,299 on Sekrit Project and oh, Lord, this one’s gonna make me cry.

6,605 on Let It Out So It Can Breathe, my Kink Bingo square for “Lapdances.” This one was written and posted within the space of about four days, so I have no excuse for how weird it is. There’s something freeing about finishing, letting it sit for a day or two, and posting. Probably not my most literary work, but eh, not noodling over something endlessly is good for me.

6,498 on another Kink Bingo square, for Spanking Bench. This is one of the iddier id!fics I’ve ever written, in that it hits about 10 different tropes I adore during one single spanking. So, you know, if you’re into that, it’s coming.

Did I Make My Goals?

Chapters 11-13 of Catchweight
Sadly, only 11 and 12, though I’m maybe a third into 13.
~~Chapter 3 of Sekrit Project~~
Yes! And a bit into chapter 4.
~~A bingo square~~
Yes! Two, actually.

WIP Updates/Goals for Next Week:

To Write & Edit:

Edit Spanking Bench
Chapters 13-14 of Catchweight
Chapters 4-5 of Sekrit Project

To Publish:

Spanking Bench

Things that are likely to fuck with my progress:

Start physical therapy on my shoulder this week. If that hurts, typing might be hard.
Decently busy week at work, lots of meetings, which cuts into writing time (not that I ever write at work, oh no)
I can feel the creeping flame of burnout at my back. Might intentionally go a little slower this week.

Words Written This Week: 6,350 (About par for the course with how busy my week was and the fact that I got the stomach flu and/or food poisoning on Thursday night, hosted a party last night, and had quality time with craockzilla and her smol.)

2,634 on merBucky. This gets me through chapter 40. Two chapters + an epilogue left which is my only goal for next week. I’ll finish this thing if it kills me. And it might.

3,716 on Mergers and Acquisitions. Rewrites and edits on chapters 6-7. Last chapter posts today. I am legit sort of glad to be done.

0 on my Marvel Trumps Hate Shrinkyclinks.

Did I Make My Goals?

~~Chapter 40 of merBucky~~
Yes!
Chapter 7 of Shrinkyclinks
I got like 1/3 of this written and then decided I didn’t like it, so it’s not included in wordcount this week. I may gut the chapter.
~~Edit chapters 6-7 of M&A~~
Yup!

WIP Updates/Goals for Next Week:

To Write & Edit:

Chapters 41, 42 & epilogue of merBucky
Edit Steggy Secret Santa

To Publish:

Chapter 7 of M&A
Steggy Secret Santa which still needs a title

Things that are likely to fuck with my progress:

Christmas fuckery in a good way
A family situation wherein I may be spending some time at a hospital
It’s a week off work. I wanna sleep and watch movies.

Words Written This Week: 9,421 (This is a lot more than I thought I wrote! It felt like a very unproductive week, but when I went back and actually tallied things up, it wasn't terrible. Just goes to show that you don't always have a good sense of these things.)

5,164 on merBucky. This gets me through chapter 39. I think there are possibly three or four chapters left. It's hard to say, but I really do feel like I'm getting close. I also built a map and named all the places in this particular fantasy world, so like...we're getting there!

3,532 on Mergers and Acquisitions. Rewrites and edits on chapters 4-5.

725 on my Marvel Trumps Hate Shrinkyclinks.

Did I Make My Goals?

~~Finish chapter 38 of merBucky~~
Yes! And 39!
~~Chapter 6 of Shrinkyclinks~~
Yes! It’s a short-ass chapter, but I did it!
~~Edit chapters 4-5 of M&A~~
Yes! Ah, I can’t remember the last time I hit all my writing goals!

WIP Updates/Goals for Next Week:

To Write & Edit:

Chapter 40 of merBucky
Chapter 7 of Shrinkyclinks
Edit chapters 6-7 of M&A

To Publish:

Chapters 5-6 of M&A

Things that are likely to fuck with my progress:

Really busy week/time of year
Seeing friends and family (this is not a bad thing!)
Wrapping up work stuff before the break

Chapter 4

There's no reblogging over here, so I guess every chapter is a new post. Womp womp!
