    Good luck on your goals, @Findswoman.

    -----------------------

    I am writing to announce that I have achieved one of my small goals, that of 500 words on "Water Flowing Underground." Actually, I surpassed that goal by perhaps a few words--as I wrote 1457 words in all. Also, I finished a post! That has only been in progress since September 2019! Here's another exclamation mark! I have only to get the next post properly started, and I will have finished one of my failed goals from WIPril.

    Making progress on my goals!

    I finished my vignette for the Romanticism Roulette mini challenge (which is also one of the one-shots I need for my large goal of finishing multiple one-shots): Turn Ourselves Into These Ashes

    I've also written 633 words on the Ferrus fic, so I'm inching toward the 2,000 word mark!

    Wow, wonderful work, everyone, and I'm just sorry that I've fallen behind on updating the index! @Pandora @ViariSkywalker @WarmNyota_SweetAyesha @RX_Sith I've updated the index with your achievements so far. Really loving seeing the progress being made! :)

    As for me, I have met one of my goals by finishing the Lasan Series one-shot mentioned in my list. I've checked it off on my list of goals, but as it's still in beta, I'll add the actual link and title later.

    EDIT: Now posted:
    Child of Lasan—Child of Lira San (Triptych)

    I have met my second goal, that of 200 words on "The Wrong Side of History." Once again, I wound up surpassing my goal--this time by more than a few words, for a total of 2838 and a completed post. Apparently, the lower I aim, the more I write.

    That will be all for a bit, though, as I'm leaving for the woods beyond the internet tomorrow. Good luck, everyone, and I am sure I shall see many completed goals in this thread upon my return.

    Great work, @WarmNyota_SweetAyesha and @Pandora ! Got your latest accomplishments checked off and counted in the index. Way to go, and keep it up! [face_party]

    As for me, I’ve finally managed to get started on the story I’m writing on the multiple minigames prompts, with about 127 words. It’s something! I’ve also got two reviews to log: on the latest installments of @Pandora ’s The Winter Queen and @Kahara ’s Twin Suns Bed and Breakfast.

    I've only managed to get about half done for my Small Goal, with one comic page. Judging by that, it'll be like... 3-4 pages to get to my final goal. My drawing hand might need acupuncture after this.

    There has already been so much wonderful progress made here by so many, yay! Well done, everyone! :D =D= [:D]

    As for myself, I am happy to report that I have finished a medium goal in posting All Fools in Love for the current OTP challenge. I have also finished a large goal in writing 5000+ words on So Few Things. I hope to have an update ready to share soon!

    For reviews, I have currently written 6. (A Lesson In Death, by Kit'; Child of Lasan-Child of Lira San, by Findswoman; Never Lost in Translation and Hither & Yon, by WarmNyota_SweetAyesha; The Garden was Beautiful, by devilinthedetails; and Turn Ourselves Into These Ashes, by ViariSkywalker)

    Ooh, ouch, hope you're doing better soon! Take the time you need; there's still more than half of the month left. We're cheering you on! [face_party]

    @Mira_Jade and @Raissa Baiard , that is great news! Very well done, both of you, and I've got your accomplishments checked off in the list! Keep up the fab work. =D=

    It is my pleasure to announce that wth the completion of my second oneshot entitled Dances and Disguises, I have achieved my large goal of finishing multiple oneshots this month[face_party]

    Dances and Disguises took longer to write than I initially envisioned (in part, because it grew into a longer story than I had pictured when I did my brainstorming for it), but I'm so happy that it is done, and I had fun writing it.

    Thanks to @Findswoman for making October a great and motivating month to write in![:D]

    I got my 1000 words done for How it ends (and then some - it's more like 3000 words)

    Got 1 of the oneshots done, but can't get the ideas for the others so that's a bit suckful

    Great work by all three of you! =D= I’ve updated the index accordingly and am just sorry I didn’t do so earlier (I was at Wizard World Chicago this weekend). It’s wonderful to see the goals rolling in, and I’m glad to do what I can to help that happen this month!

    Also, @WarmNyota_SweetAyesha , it looks like you’ve now met all of your goals for the month—extra way to go to you! [face_party]

    Somehow we're halfway through October and I still haven't written a word. The way time has flown by this year, I feel like in about five minutes it will be next October and I still won't have written a word. [face_laugh]

    I'm so far behind on all the stories I want to read, too, but I've managed 4 reviews so far:

    Icky stuff and creatures by earlybird-obi-wan
    The Garden was Beautiful by devilinthedetails
    Inherit the Earth by devilinthedetails
    Never Lost In Translation by WarmNyota_SweetAyesha

    Congratulations to everyone who's made progress, and wishing you all the best of luck and good vibes through the rest of the month! =D=[face_good_luck]

    So I haven't accomplished any new goals, but while I have been dealing with the Emergency Vet Electric Boogaloo, Part Duh (one of my cats had to have emergency surgery last night in a city over an hour away, and of course, it was my special needs girl for whom even five minutes of anesthesia is a risk. She made it all right, but I experienced true abject terror last night) I have kept working away at "The Wrong Side of History" and I now have a total of 4934 words for the month.

    @Findswoman , would it be all right for me to raise my already accomplished small goal to a large goal? Let's say for 6000-- as I am already within sight of 5000 words, that wouldn't be enough of a challenge at this point.

    Finally: congratulations, everyone--both on your accomplished goals, and those there are still just begun! Remember, every word pried from the void and set forth into a story can be a victory sometimes.
