My progress in July

[dialecticdreamer]

My summary for the WInterfest bingo is...mixed. I’ve used all but FOUR squares, including “Greetings from Krampus,” so it’s not like they were impossible. Not finishing will itch at the back of my brain, and I know it.

The other situation was that a couple of technical glitches ate into my non-writing time, which means that I don’t have the neat list of bingo prompts with links to the posted story and word count, even though I spent a good amount of time setting up exactly that document back on the first.

Now the up side? For my main story arc, called “Life’s Ladder,” I posted 47,984 words, JUST for the stories, excluding headers. In addition, I posted another 11,187 words in other story arcs, for a grand total of 59,171 words in the month of July alone.

Here are two sample links, with the caveat that they are in what was an ongoing story arc, so it may be hard to gain context without reading more of the posted stories.

G5: pie
Story: Running Errands (link to part one
Story arc: Life’s Ladder
Universe: Polychrome Heroics
Word count: 4667

I4: bacalao
Story: Junket’s Declaration
Story arc: Life’s Ladder
Universe: Polychrome Heroics
Word count: 1385
