April Round-up

[cjmarlowe]

Let's just get right to the numbers: I wrote 53,649 words and posted 16 stories and ficlets in 2 fandoms, ranging between roughly 800 and 5000 words. This was the month of the ficlet, really--I actually have a backlog of unposted ones right now that need to be proofed and formatted yet. It was still well below what I hoped to do, though. I technically met my writing goal most days, but it was usually the bare minimum and a lot more days than in previous months were just a complete wash.

Plus,

Castle - Season 1
The Lone Gunmen - Full Series
X-Files - Season 9
X-Files: I Want To Believe

(I only list TV series if I watched the whole thing, so even though I also watched all of Castle Season 2 to date, it doesn't get listed because the season is incomplete.)

and

Douglas Adams - The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
I read most of this in the bath one night. Douglas Adams is always the right choice for a reread.

So, basically, writing was down, reading was down, and I didn't even watch much TV and movies. And what I did watch was usually while multitasking. What the heck did I do in April, then, you ask? Mostly RL work and drama, sadly. But I'm optimistic that working really hard towards a few things in April (even if driven mostly by urgency and not by choice) means that moving forward my life will be a lot easier. Here's to hoping, anyway!
