Writing: Met goal of getting my Season of Kink fic posted and it's been well received.
I completed another line of my Ladies' Bingo card. I also signed up for two more challenges, the 100 fandoms (of which I have 6 so far) and Fluff Bingo. I also did fills for 6 of the 7 images I received for my picture prompt challenge. I need the Plot Fairy to arrive with her trunks and stay for a while. I need a plot for the image of a giant white rat of Liverpool (I am planning to set it in The Great Mouse Detective 'verse) and for the my big project for the month.
The big project for February is to draft my Raffles/Sherlock Holmes fic, which will be posted on the Ides of March, which is a special day in the Raffles fandom.
Poetry-wise, I want to finish two poems from last October. In the Poet's Corner, I will be looking at John Masefield and Mary Oliver (whenever my library requests for the latter come in). Also, following the quote from Mary Oliver that was posted byorchid314 I will be trying to make a regular 'date' with my poetry muse and see what happens. I don't know how often or for how long at a go will be attainable for my schedule. I'll be pondering that today.
Reading: I'm only reading The Amateur Cracksman at the moment, but I'll be doing a post soon about the audiobooks I've been listening to: Strangers on a Train by Patricia Highsmith, A Room to Die In by Ellery Queen, Black Coffee by Agatha Christie, and Rumpole a la Carte by John Mortimer.
Personal: A fairly calm month from the neck up. I lost (almost) half a stone (I'm choosing to use the poetic and rather inspiring metric of stones instead of the personal-baggage-laden pounds) by hauling myself to the gym 3-5 days a week this month. And I've meditated every day without skipping. The boys' father (due to the shutdown) has been in residence, which helps.
