What are you working on? Or, what do you hope to get written this year?

Working on: still picking my way through my

ladiesbingo prompts, one fandom at a time.
Hope to get written this year: edit, finish and post at least one of the three AR/what-if fics I started during NaNoWriMo last november.
(Hope to get written next year: ...edit, finish and post the two other AR/what-if fics... and start a couple more!! ~~I just love my new fandom so very much, OK?~~)

I wrote most of my original m/m slashfic, was proud of myself, told myself I'd have it edited and ready to go by the end of 2017. Well, I actually wrote only major scenes, because I'd write as inspiration took me. Now I'm left with a mess of pieces I need to string together and still somehow make sound nice. D: Dammit, this is why I should always right from start to end with zero jumping around or skipping the boring bits.

Anyway, I am making progress, though I feel like I basically have to start over to make everything coherent (and this thing is already 90k words long, yikes). This will be my first book, and my goal once I finish, besides drink wine, is to self-publish. I don't really care if no one buys it, but I'll feel like I really completed it once I've done that.

I'm working on fanmixes right now, but one of them is similarly themed to one of my WIPs, so I'm hoping it will give me writing inspiration.

I'd like to get into a writing habit. Maybe ship some of my short stories out to start a rejection letter collection.

I'd like to get even one thing finished. I lose interest in finishing things when I have new ideas.

I'm working on several Star Wars stories. I'm also intending to sign up for AgeX and Star Wars Rare Pairs but I think I'll drop Yuletide. I want to start writing more consistently so I can get on top of the ideas I'm working on.

My goals for this year are to
a) finish my long-ass fics already
b) get published

Right now I'm working on one of aforementioned long-ass fics, and a short story.

I hope to finish an original story I've been working on and I'd like to get back into writing fic.

I've been working on Holiday stuff for an MMO a friend and I are developing. And writing DBZ fanfic because I don't want to read "Bulma becomes Vegeta's sex slave" anymore.

I have two original novels I want to finish/publish this year. Book 3 of my werewolf biker novels. And Book 2 or 3 of my warrior princess who is friends with a dragon mixed up fairy tale novels.

On the other hand, I need to finish an art portfolio and work up a resume and you know, get a job that pays bills.
