November Round-Up

[k_a_webb]

One free story was posted. This was Charlotte's Name Change (LJ link) for the Pagan collection.

My ongoing prompts period was ended, after I wrote one more story which was Terry and Martin (LJ link) for the Inquisition collection. Two continuations were also posted. These were for Sauin Day Celebrations (LJ link) for the Aurora's World collection and Bree - Harvest Festival (LJ link) for the Thear collection. I have one more to write.

Surprise story week stories had one continuation posted this month: Skyler (LJ link); Sebastian (LJ link); Heliopath (LJ link); Tristan (LJ link); Richard (LJ link); Vitali (LJ link); and Callidora (LJ link).

Two random stories were posted this month: Introducing Lucille (LJ link) and Rachel's Story (LJ link). They are both a part of the newly created World Walkers collection.

No pieces of bonus material were posted this month, but I am still working on those two pieces for ysabetwordsmith. I want to get them posted by the end of December.

No donations were received this month.

Choose-Your-Own ebooks and handwritten stories were made available.

As far as I know only two people signal boosted this month, so I have chosen not to have a draw for a free story.

The winner of November's Surprise Draw is: natalief. This month the prize is the naming of a setting in any collection and one free story about this setting off at least 2000 words.

During November my goals were to: to reach 100,000 words of writing, which once again I didn't reach, but I wrote over 85,000 words; and to receive £50 in donations, which also didn't get reached.

Plans for December include: posting 1000 words of Advent Story a day; a collection spotlight and character spotlight, as well as writing for the last spotlights; prompts starting on the 19th of December of the theme of Yule and other winter festivals; a week long sale, starting today, for both handwritten stories and choose-your-own ebooks; and December is double credits month.

Goals for December: writing at least 75,000 words this month, because I think this goal will work better for me, and to reach £50 in donations, which will be going towards Christmas presents. I also want to edit everything I have posted so far and work on world building material that can be posted.

I think you're right to adjust your wordcount goal. When I set goals, I tend to put them just within a range I've reached before but not often, or just beyond my previous maximum. Goals that are too far out are just frustrating. The idea is that they should be within reach if you push yourself a bit.
