The State of the Ficcery: March 2024
Mar. 29th, 2024 09:35 pmWord Count for March: 28,212
Writing: Most of the word count is my new BTS soap opera Ungrateful. I am trying to update on a schedule (something I've never done before), every Friday. I have one more easy chapter and then I shall have to start Plotting. The first part is most smut but I am soon going to introduce a murder!
I did 10 fills for![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
sweetandshort's 10 out of 20. I did my first round of GYWO Yahtzee with a Yahtzee of Miss Marple.
Next month is the first month of Dick or Treat, which I usually participate in, but it's also Poetry Month, so the word count will go down.
Reading/Listening: I have finished a total of 8 books this month, which is much more than usual. Many are audiobooks but still. An Agatha Christie, a Michael Gilbert, 2 Matthew Venn books, a graphic novel, the honkaku, Posession, and a science fiction.
Next month is Poetry Month so my goal is to read Jo Bell's How to be a Poet cover to cover.
Crafting: I dyed eggs with the boys today. I finished Minisculus' cross stitch for his birthday. I have two spring/Easter crafts, only one of which I may get to by Sunday. 3 spreads and 2 cards. Next month, I am probably not going to have a lot of time to craft. I was thinking about sending out spring cards. I am on the fence about that.
Personal: I have been doing good with the yoga and the exercise. I am doing better with the intermittent fasting too. I lost a tiny bit of weight. The one area that suffered this month was spending. I spent too much on unnecessary stuff. And set myself up for more unnecessary spending.
I filled in the calendar for the boys' activities for April and we have something almost every day of the entire month (weekends included). Both boys have soccer practices and games and Minor has track practices and meets and choral events and Minisculus has swimming lessons so I am going to have to be GENTLE (with myself and everyone) and PATIENT and PREPARED and FLEXIBLE. And let some things go.
So, I am planning to open the bottle of cava I bought for New Year's Eve (and never opened) on Sunday for Easter brunch and enjoy my last day of holiday.
