So, I'm Doing a Writing Challenge

 And I'm already failing. Awesome.

Anyways.

NaNoWriMo is this month. And I am not joining that. Cause I suck at it. Not setting myself up for that failure this year. 

Gonna set myself up for a different failure. 

Sorry. Bad mood. Trying to ignore it.

I love writing and reading AU (Alternate Universe) fics. Looooove it. Unhealthy obsession with it really. That includes Soulmate AUs. And over the years I have collected quite a list of them that I keep saying "someday I'm gonna write something with that". And now I'm going to. Even made a spreadsheet. 

I love spreadsheets... 

Here's the challenge part of this.

I'm going to (try very fucking hard) write something for as many of these AUs as I can, for various fandoms that I write in. I want to try and do one a day, but I know that will not happen. Between family obligations and homeschool stuff and my brain fucking hating me most days, I know I can't focus on this as much as I want to. But I am giving myself a little bit of an out. Not really an out. I'm not forcing myself to finish entire stories. As long as I get over 100 words, I will consider it done. Well, done enough to post on Archive of Our Own. And, maybe later, I'll go back and write more. 

This is really just for me. I need to find something to focus on that isn't Covid, politics, family shit, and homeschool. I'm really on edge and spend most days trying to talk myself down from panic attacks. And I hope that as I sort of complete these I'll have that little feeling of accomplishment and get myself in a better mood. And maybe other people will enjoy them. I dunno. 

Well, that's all.
