Done for February!

Well, two days before the end of February, and I managed to not only meet but also exceed my goal for the month! Not only that, but I'm now ahead...but only slightly for the year.

On the PbEM front:

1) Sodium may return soon, and it's been agreed that the timeline is being moved up to Saturday, with Friday being a 'free post day' where we can post whatever we like. So far, I've posted the last part of my main character's Thursdaynight and am working on Friday. There is still much to be resolved for the second character, and the NPCs, I have the post mostly written, just waiting on the ST.

2) Mage Phoenix is getting back on track a bit. I was able to post today after I figured out a way out of the corner I'd painted myself in.

3) Puzzles of Darkness, I had a chat with the ST, and got a nice post in that put me over the top for the month. A newscene is planned, but yet to be written.

4) Riverton, a bit of a slow down, but things are picking up a bit now that the ST is posting again.
5) Shadowrun, I had to have a planning session for my first character, because she's currently been framed for murder. Doh. I also made a second character though, and so far so good.

6) First Cabal, The character's been approved, and the mission is starting to get going. She's going to be part of the paranormal investigation crew.

7) Hidden Cove, SLOW and discouraging. Sigh.

The Write a Story came to a screeching halt. I started a new Writing Prompt today.
Really should start thinking toward this year's Nano...or should I do JulNoWriMo too?
Also, the Shadowrun Boards have a story contest going. I'm going to give it a go...

Nanowriye: Catching Up

Well, five days into February, and things are looking up a little. I managed to write over 1,100 words today, which has bumped my average word count up enough to put me into finishing in late January, 2007 instead of mid February 2007.

So, the writing goal for the month is 19,208, and I've already written 4,253, so I've got about 15,000 words to go, and there's still a lot of days in February to do it...

On the PbEM front:

1) Sodium may return in March, but we can write posts in preparation for it, as soon as it's decided how far the timeline's moving up.

2) Mage Phoenix is slowing down a little, but posts are still being written (over 100 last month)

3) Puzzles of Darkness has lots of great plans for my character, but I can't post until other things are resolved

4) Riverton, I'm waiting for a reply from the ST. Such is life in PbEMs

5) Shadowrun, I had one 'run' end abruptly and got started on another. We're just able to start IC posts now.

6) First Cabal, I think the ST is finally happy with my character, so I should be able to start posting soon.

7) Hidden Cove, I had to ditch my first character and start a new one. Haven't heard back from the STs because they've been out sick.

So for now, I'll do the Write a Story and Writing Prompts. I suppose I should start thinking towards this year's Nano...
