Go Mystic. Go Mystic. It's your birthday. It's your birthday.

Woop Woop.

Or something like that.

Once again do I take this solemn vow of activity within the Citadel: Another 8 in 8 shall I endeavor to accomplish. I shall write and post one sub, stub, idea, scroll, or creative forum post from today (8/16) through next Friday (8/23.)

Doing well, Moon! Keep it up!

good to have you back!

It's great to be back and feeling creative once again.

#8: Added The Riddle of the Seal as an idea for Key, Quill, and Seal

And that concludes my most successful 8-in-8 yet. I have posted roughly 8,500 words in that time; a personal best.

With that, I'm going to go a bit easier on the writing. Although I do intend to continue telling my woe-filled tale about how I became a putrefying corpse I also want to catch up on reading subs.

Wooooh! You're an inspiration, sir! Good job!

It is amazing how having a clearly defined and attainable goal keeps me on track. Also, fear of the shame heaped upon me had I missed my mark.

To further my progress as a humble resident of the Citadel, and to continue my fear of shame by changing things up a little, I have a new goal to pursue. I call it 5-for-5: I challenge myself to read and provide detailed feedback on 5 subs each day for the next 5 days (8/24-8/28.)

May the gods be pitiless in their retribution upon me should I fail.

Day #5 (the last):

Goal accomplished. I'm going to take a little break but I will have another goal soon. I'm ready to get back to writing again.

MysticMoon · « **Reply #45 on:** August 30, 2013, 08:42:34 PM »

New goal: Questor 4-Pack

And now for something completely different.

I have proven to myself that I can write daily when I set my mind to it. And while it feels good to get things done and posted in a short timeframe, I want to improve the quality of my work. With that in mind, I set the following challenge for myself:

Quote

I will produce 4 subs, each for a different quest that I have not yet entered. I give myself 5 days per sub: 2 for drafting, 1 for a cooling-off period, and 2 more for additions and edits before posting.

The following are the due dates:
Wednesday 9/4
Monday 9/9
Saturday 9/14
Thursday 9/19

Any indepth feedback on these subs will be highly appreciated.

Good luck, Moon! You should try to make the quests line up with guild quests where possible!

After that, if you want a different take again on personal goals, have us give you some keywords or themes that you have to adhere to for your next subs!

MysticMoon · « **Reply #47 on:** August 31, 2013, 09:28:38 PM »

I debated whether or not to post progress updates here. I decided to do so, at least to keep myself honest (with myself, of course

) No skipping writing days.

Attached is my first stab at a sub for the Zombies (the apocalyptic kind) quest: Zombie Servants of the Ch'thra. It is not yet complete. Tomorrow I finish the first draft.

MysticMoon · « **Reply #48 on:** September 01, 2013, 08:52:33 AM »

Getting into the swing of things with the completion of the first draft.

(I knew the new smilies would come in handy!)
