as you can see, i didn't quite hit my target for the month. without going into detail, my job has been pretty lax for the past several months butnow things have changed and it's a lot more draining and time consuming. so i haven't had as much time to write.

monthly breakdown:
apr 1-6: 41 words, all written on apr 3
apr 7-13: 999 words, all written on apr 13
apr 14-20: 704 words (100 words written on the 14th, 44 written on the 17th, and 560 written on the 18th)
apr 21-27: 657 words (250 written on the 23rd, 86 written on the 24th, and 321 written on the 25th)
apr 28-30: 1,235 words (433 writtenn on the 29th, 792 written on the 30th)

projects:

hp_het fic(s). i signed up for hp_het so i know i'll definitely be getting that done this month. i have ideas for two of the prompts so i hope i can finish my first one quickly and then be able to claim and write the second.
not_primetime fic. i also signed up for not_primetime as it, like hp_het, is one of my fave fests/exchanges. so i also know i'll definitely be getting that done this month as well. i'm anxiously awaiting my assignment.
i'm eyeing marvelundercover and justmarriedexchange so it's possible i might write something for those. i missed marvelfemslashevents sign ups but i got a few ideas from the prompts so if treats are allowed i might try to write one or two of those. i'm also eyeing mcu_exchange.
secret shameful smut fic. i have one fic i've been working on off and on again since december. it was supposed to be for fandom_stocking but i didn't finish it in my time. i've recently been re-inspired and have been working on it. in my head i refer to it as "the blowjob fic of shame."
fan_flashworks fic. i also have an idea for a modern merlin au fic since fan_flashworks put up their cave prompt. but i didn't have time to write it during that week or during amnesty. i really just want to get it out of my head and onto paper so it'll stop taking up space i my brain so i might just write most of it (there are a still a few missing plot holes in my mental outline) and finish/post whenever the next amnesty round comes.
cougar town fics. i've been (re)watching cougar town and have gotten two fic ideas from it. one of them is basically just straight up smut and the other is a very loose idea, actually it's just one line of dialogue. (thinking about it now, that one may just be pwp too...). i don't know if i'll be able to flush either of them out into something concrete but i'm gonna try.
schitt's creek fic. i also have an idea (and some words!) for a missing moment schitt's creek fic. i wrote out most of the dialogue (and a little bit of description, speech tags, etc.) when i was first getting the idea out of my head but now i need to go back and flesh it out more.
weekly/monthly fics. i'm also going to try and write fics for all the weekly/monthly comms i'm a part of. i think there's about 20 or so, so that could definitely up my word count if i write something for every week for the weekly ones.
unfinished hp fics. i also have all of the unfinished hp fics i mentioned last month, none of which actually got any words this month, i don't think, which is interesting. (i lied. double checking, i see that one of those aforementioned hp fics actually got a grand total of...41 words which equals three sentences.)
