- I set some 2024 goals back in January, and now that the year is half way through, I think we should sit down and check-in on my progress!
A N N A, W H A T A R E Y O U W O R K I N G O N ?
💎 Project Gemstone is a gaslamp fantasy with a cozy lean. It's an irreverent, Victorian-era fantasy with a grumpy heroine, a clumsy owl automaton, a smirking adventurer, and plenty of magic. [draft 3 w betas]
🌹Hera's Book - dark adult romantasy. [outlining]

✨ what is one goal you made good progress on so far in 2024? :)
This was a fun one! I am SO excited to hear how your fast draft goes!
My goals for the year are to hit 200 strength training workouts, read 12 books, and finish my journal.
However, I am a mood reader, and I recently picked up a book that is 800 pages long. That should count for two, right? I add collections of poetry (but not anthologies) to my book list. If the collection was compiled as is by the poet, I count it.
I also keep a separate list of "short pieces" I've read. I add short stories and essays to the list. It's a fun way to encourage myself to dig into some of the anthologies I stockpiled during undergrad.
Omg I'm so excited about you taking that course and pushing yourself to fast draft a book in three months! As someone that also only gets ideas few and far between, I'm so excited for you not only getting a new shiny idea, but also getting that idea in between drafts of a project when you are in the perfect spot to work on it. It sounds like everything is lining up for you! I can't wait to hear how the project goes 💖💕
@@MartaCanPixel thank you Marta! 🧡🧡 I’m really looking forward to it and seeing what happens!
Oooh a whole new project! 🤩 cant wait to hear how that fast drafting is going 😊 and you did really well on your goals. Good job setting them realistically 😊🎉
@@minouk-writes thank you Minouk! Yes, I think I’m slowly getting a little better at finding that balance 😅
Omg the way that I am making this exact same video tomorrow and hopefully uploading on Monday! I love the mid year check in because it's much more powerful to still be chugging along now rather than during the bright eyed days of early January.
@@Wallisimo oooh yay I’ll be looking out for it! 🧡 it’s definitely one of my favorites to watch as well, and can be a nice reminder to stop and reflect ☺️
I love hearing you talk about your goals, something about the way you talk about your progress and what you hope to achieve in the future is just so interesting
oh my gosh, thank you Mars 🥲 that is so lovely of you to say. and so nice that this is the first comment I read, when I'm fresh off of editing myself and self-conciously worrying if my rambling is even worthwhile 😂 thank you 🧡
the PA ren faire runs all the way through the end of October and is a really fun time... just saying...
@@somberhoney oooh you don't say??? 👀
That course sounds interesting! I’m excited to see how it goes. And it’s so nice to see you feeling so good about the new project, that’s exciting too! I’m so sorry to hear you didn’t get to go to the Renn Faire! 😭It seems strange how different it is elsewhere; in MD, it starts at the end of August, but then right around the corner in DE, it starts in late October. Now you can just be super prepared for it next year! You may not have been able to check off a lot of things, but you’re still killing it! 💪🏻
Thank you, April!! 💖💖 And I know haha, next year I'll be ready to jump on it super quick! I'm super jealous, October sounds like the perfect time!
ahhhhh HERA'S BOOK omg I love the project name?? i'm so excited for you and this idea! you deserve to be "struck by lightning" more as you say :D
@@malintries thank youuuuu!! 🌹🥰
Sharing your work with loved ones, especially close ones is also paradoxically difficult! You would think it’d be easy but it’s definitely not. It’s good to share your work with them though, in my opinion because they’ll give you some feedback and also a well earned pat on the back! 😊
@@KramersRemarks so well said!! I have definitely felt that urge to wait until it’s perfect, but then 20 years of writing went by 😂 it’s time!
In general it sounds like your ambition is growing. Really rooting for that to pay off for you. 💚
2023 was off for the both of us, but based on the experience I'd advise you not to judge yourself on the productivity front and end up overcorrecting as a result.
The ren faire sounds like such a dollop of enjoyment that confidentially, if you miss it, why not organize a smaller one with your friends and find an outdoor space somewhere that's dirt cheap or (with luck) zero cost?
@@AdamFishkin ah such a good point! Hosting a ren faire party among friends sounds so fun
Like how you did the intro. And yes the year has flew by. Time warp might be possible.
@@MrVlandus thank you so much! 🧡
I have completed my writing studio. But no update video has been filmed just yet. There are still some final touches that I need to do.
@@MrVlandus that is so exciting!!! ✨
For DNFs, I think if you've made it to ~66%, then you can count it, assuming it's at least a 300 page book. 200 pages is a short novel's worth. If you stop after a chapter, no, it doesn't count. As for one goal I've accomplished this year - finished draft one of novel four (at ~250K words!).
@@76kilosofshade81 I think I agree with you there! And congratulations again on finishing novel #4, I know you worked so hard on that!
@@AnnaRobbinsWrites I hope July's Camp Nano will = the end of draft one of novel 5! That's the next goal. Good luck to us!
