Productivity, You Say?

[kantayra]

So, one of the fun things about hormones is that they cause stupid mood swings. Despite being super productive this last week, I also had stupid unhelpful breakdowns that I was failing at adulting (even though I really obviously am not). Do not recommend! Anyway, I'm doing well, and here's where I am:

• worldbuilding_exchange, wickedloveex, smut4smut, unsent_letters_exchange, the_mane_event, and kinkluckydip are the things that I'm currently signed up for and assignments are out. I have also claimed pinch hints for some things that will remain undisclosed and also have some treats planned for things that likewise will remain undisclosed. Also, also some of the assignments/treats that I've completed are intentionally not yet posted, because there are several recipients who might be starting to notice my existence, and few things are as deanonymizing as "Whee! I already had your whole gift completed in the sign-up period! Here, have it the first day of the exchange! And also I refuse to redate any of my fics because I'm anal about the fic date matching my actual posting date, for weird reasons only my brain understands!" So, in lieu of all that, I'll be vaguing more than usual for a bit here. All in all, I have 11 things currently planned to write (and 1 extra Pinch Hint that I'll only let myself pick up after I get through most of that backlog). As of my previous post, I had written 1 of those 11 things. This week I bumped the number up to 5/11. I'm about halfway through 2 more and have just started another 1. So that is good progress - my goal was only to get through 1.5! I would like to be 8 or 9 out of 11 by end of week.


• goreswap is revealing this week, so I have to double-check my stuff there for final edits. I seem to recall everything being pretty well cleaned up for that one, so it'll just be those few random typos that hide until the very last minute, no matter how much editing I do beforehand.


• hurtcomfortex assignments are coming out shortly, so that'll be a new one to add to the list! Assignments aren't due until June, though, so I'm not putting that in my "March writing bucket" (yet - watch me get super inspired and finish that one first 🤣). Also, I have no clue how tasty the Initial Pinch Hits will be. (Hopefully not, because I would like to have less than 5 open assignments at some point in my life.)


• fangfrenzyficexchange, fluffityfluffexchange, idproquo, and everythingisfemslashex are in various sign-up/nomination stages at some point in the upcoming week. I assume I'll do at least the latter two, not too sure about the first two. Will noodle.


• Femslash Salad Bar: I got halfway through 2 fics last week, but didn't finish either. My goal was to finish 1...and I don't quite think this counts. However! I will set the goal to finish 1 for good this week, yet again.


• I suspect that I'm going to have a little bit of a lull upcoming. I've started doing some canon review for a couple of my current assignments, and I have a library queue of a bunch of books/DVDs I've been meaning to absorb for potential exchange offers. A couple of the offers I'm making currently I'm starting to run out of ideas for, so I'd like to rotate in some new ones potentially. So those are my thoughts. (On the off chance someone is actually reading this post 🤣 and has any suggestions for me, please leave them! I'm currently limited to Amazon Prime in the US, Kanopy, and "whatever books/DVDs my library has", but I will check things out!)

Goals for Next Week: Finish at least 3 of my current outstanding exchange fics (stretch goal: 4). Finish 1 of those Femslash Salad Bar fics and actually post it. Final edits for goreswap. Finish up canon reviews currently in progress.
