Check-in post!

I really meant to be better about those check-in posts. I did! Once a week, I thought. Or once every two weeks. And then RL got crazy...

But hey -- this makes me wonder how often people would like to see check-in posts. I tend to think check-in posts are handy for keeping people motivated and working; it helps me to know that I'll be able to say "I have X words toward my goal!" at the end of the week. Thus: a poll!

(If you answered "never", you may be best off unsubscribing to the comm. You can still be a part of the challenge; you don't have to be a subscriber to participate!)

Anyway, all that taken care of, now it is February 1st. How are you guys doing with your goals?

I answered I don't care, because I would be fine with weekly, twice monthly, or monthly check-ins. :)

As for this month, I met my goal! My goal is simply one fic a month, preferably over 1000 words. I actually wrote two fics, though one was just a double-drabble.
