21 day challenge - DONE!!!

[marguerite_26]

My 21 Day Challenge is over! Navel gazing below...




My writing goals by August 15th
Travel Fair - ready for beta -- um, close but not quite
Merlin Muses - draft finished in notebook -- yeah... not even close. But the first scene is written

Other things I'm allowed to spend my on
All beta and cheerleading commitments -- DONE! almost 100k in betaing! o.O
Replying to comments -- Much further along then I was three weeks ago!
A 'sorry you can't type' spot of porn for faithwood -- DONE!
A 'merlin/arthur, syrup' micro drabble for melusina -- DONE!
Whatever glomping necessary for the serpentinelion Glompfest -- DONE!

Sacrifices I'm going to have to make for the next 21 days
No reading, reccing in either HP or Merlin. NONE. heh. -- Not bad. I was GOOD, I swear!
No posting challenges, discussion, any other silly projects that I love to procrastinate with -- I held back, soooo hard
Very limited reading and commenting on flist and playing about on LJ heh. yeah. That totally never happened


Overall I'm very, very pleased. I didn't quite meet my writing goals but they were very ambitious and I had a lot of family commitments this last little bit so writing that much was impossible. BUT the official deadlines are now very reachable for me and it was a good, though painful, exercise to give up reading. My to read list is pretty... long.

In conclusion:

14300 / 15000 words. 95% done!

Which for me is EXCELLENT over three weeks. It includes 2 finished and posted ficlets, one comment porn, one full first draft and one first scene. :D
