Now that NaNoWriMo is finally behind us, what are everyone's plans for December (aside from the usual Christmas/Yule/etc. preparations)? Mine are... too many! Argh! But I can't seem to drop any of them! Betaing/Concrit/Reviews:- I'm still on Wattpad, where I am a member of two bookclubs with weekly review assignments - that alone will keep me busy!
- Then I want to be a better, aka more consistent beta for Nay and Joy
Writing:
- I want to
finish The Cure and start with The Child
- I also tentatively want to go back to Stellar, but that would be the prewriting phase - I discovered that I had not enough material for drafting
- Update: For some reason, I started a blog - now I need to figure out how to make it visually appealing, and fill it with actual content. That'll keep me busy for sure!
Non-writing projects:
- I bought Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, the book and the workbook, as well as drawing materials. I really want to learn how to draw, so that I can illustrate my stories. And who knows, yours too, if I'm ever good enough for that.
- Now that my shoulder is slowly healing, I want to go back to gym, and maybe also to a tanning salon once a week - not to get a tan, but to get a bit of sun against the winter depression
- And I wanted to start taking riding lessons, but I'll have to see if that works out, time-wise (and money-wise)

Love seeing your lists, guys! And Chief, I'm mad. MUST KNOW SECRET PROJECT. So, here's mine: Writing: - Edit Book 3 (Nightwing). - Start Book 4 (Bloodsinger). (I'm not going much more ambitious than that, because last December I was writing Book 4 of my monster project, and I had the worst time with it. It's hands down the hardest thing I ever wrote, and it totally threw shade all over my Christmas cheer. I've got some nerves about starting the 4th Starchaser book at the same time of year >_> So I aim to just ease into writing it, so that I don't have any blocks or big problems messing with my enjoyment of Christmas. Though it'd be nice to write the Giftentide arc on Christmas day...I may just have to do that out of sequence, though )
Beta Reading:
- Finish Marooned and The Cure. - Start on Journeys Book 1. - Possibly beta for my non-Camp friend, if she's willing to relinquish her manuscript before year's end. Non-Writing
- Sigh I need to beat Final Fantasy 15 but I don't want to because nostalgia. - Get my blog up and running and keep it up, this time - Watch more Christmas movies and spend more time with my family when I'm not hanging with the cabal xD - Start researching how to submit to agents. SIIIIIGH Guys let me know any way I can help you all with your goals! <3

Here's what I am thinking of working on this month:
Write at least 75k more words of Starfall.
Write one short story every two weeks.
Do a sensitivity read of my friend's novel.
That looks awfully short, except even this much is driving me up the wall. XD

Hi Agent!!
I am definitely 100% all for that first one, heheh! Can't wait to hear more about your short stories, too! Are you going by standard length or just however long you feel they need to be?

I'm going by however long I think they need to be, but which happens to fall into the standard length for short stories. I'm good at writing short things, and I'm good at writing very long things, but nothing in between. xD
(Also I LOVE your Squidward icon. XD)

(Thank you, I have a deep love for Squidward and somehow that translated to him being my NaNo icon every year...xD)
Oooh, have you ever considered making a compilation of short stories? Sounds like it might be something you'd be awesome at!

SquidWARD! SquidWERDY-ERD!
Squidward. <3
*squeals in terror*
I suck so much at writing short stories.
But yes, despite my panic, eventually I want to write a collection. I just need to finish my current projects, or maybe even just Starfall, first, which...might take a while.

I realized it was fundamentally broken in numerous ways ;__; Now I'm trying desperately to figure out how to fix plot holes, OOC moments, the whole nine...

Ugh. Hate it when that happens. >.<
I just realized that pretty much everything about the arc setup for the character I'm working on now (yes, the vague one for which I've written very little so far) is DEAD WRONG. So now I need to tear down everything and redo it from scratch.
