After the success of April Camp NaNo, I used the site's widget to set an extra goal for May. Then I went on a writing Discord and set a bunch of other goals. I knew for sure that May would be less writing-productive than April, what with coming out of lockdown and needing to catch up on assorted errands. Still, setting goals is important for accountability.
My May writing goals were:
1. Write 5K more for The Flower of Fairmont.
2. Finish chapter 3 of Turncoat Chronicle (finally).
3. Write a total of 15-20K words across all projects.
Looks like I hit 15K for that last goal, and I might yet close in on the second. But, there's a holiday this week and I had a few bad days this month. If I have to choose between #1 and #2, I'm 100% using the last days of the month to push as close as possible to finishing TC.
And then I have to think about setting June goals. Setting goals and building to-do lists is one of the hardest parts of an ongoing project, for me. At least I think I'm finally starting to get better at it (although Fairmont's to-do list is more of a mess than ever).
