March Goal Check In

It's the ides of March, I'm feeling very wary. Since it's the middle of the month its time to check in on the goals I set at the beginning of the month.

March has been a tough month for me so far with one year since the start of isolation. Plus I'm feeling flattened by the time change today.

1) Work on fic at least 2520 days this month
So far this month I've worked on fic 10 days. My writing stamina is slowly increasing and now I'm getting 200 words on most days, instead of the 100-200 last month. Given that there are 16 and I need to take some breaks I don't think 25 days of working on fic is realistic, so I'm reducing the goal to 20 days.

2) Write two posts talking about what I've been observing in the built and natural environment around me
I've written the first of these: "Delicious Exciting food"

3) Read Five Online SFF shorts
I have read one. Focus has been a bit short around here. But shout out to Rita for reccing me an excellent very short story.

4)Finish the Sea Quilt, sea quilt mini
I have done the quilting for these. I've made the binding and am working on sewing it on. So I'm on track to finish in the next week or so.

5)Baste the quilt for baby N, and sew a back for the forest quilt.
I have basted the quilt but not sewn to quilt back. My sewing machine is still set up for quilting, so that will be a project for after I finish the quilts. It's just one long seam so it should be quick.

6)Have some kind of Passover Seder
I have done a little bit of planning for this. My mom cornered me and asked what she should bring so I gave her some suggestions. I've also started thinking about preparing the house for passover.

What projects are you working on? How are they going?

Untamed Fandom Round Up

I've had a bunch of new people subscribe, either people I know via MDZS fandom on Twitter or from the friending meme at theuntamed_mdzs

Since I have some many new people from that fandom here I thought I'd do a round up of my long posts related to The Untamed.

Over at ladybusiness I did an Untamed Fic Starter Pack featuring recs in a variety of categories. A while latter I also did an Expansion Kit featuring even more recs.

Also at Lady Business I wrote a post about reading academic history books fannishly

Here's a silly bit of tea related worldbuilding

Working on this post inspired me to actually create a CQL tag.

All my Untamed fic can be found out AO3, here. The story I'm most proud of is "Can't Stop Thinking of That Far Road" which is post canon juniors epistolary fic featuring, food, festivals, solving mysteries, cataloguing treasure,and reevaluating the histories they where taught.

Over on Twitter I curate a thread of Lady Centric Fic recs
