January Round-Up

kajones_writingJanuary was a strange month for me, personally. Much of my time was spent in another place, so I didn't get as much work done as I hoped to, which means that my word count for the month was very low (I'm not entirely sure what it was because the word count on Open Office is incorrect and I use an online word counter that I didn't have access to). However I did post all but two of the remaining prompted stories, made setting rental available, and worked on more world building material, especially for the World Walkers collection.
The month's free story was Aurora Blooms (part 1) (LJ link), which was written formeeks during her adoption period.
Prompted stories posted: Tatiana's Arrival (LJ link) for the Brotherhood collection; Rynne - The Portal Freezing (LJ link) for the 'Astral' World collection; Nadia - A Drink Driving Vampire (LJ link) for the Donor House collection; Anna's Yule (LJ link) for the Pagan collection; Introducing Kieran (LJ link) for Heliopath's World collection; and the Green Man (LJ link) for the Fae World collection.
The Imbolc/New Year prompt call (LJ link) was started and will run until the 4th of February.
Setting rental can be found here (LJ link).
No random stories were posted. Two are ready to be posted, so they'll probably be going up in the next couple of days.
One friends only piece of bonus material was posted: the World Walker's Worlds (LJ link). One of the pieces of bonus material I have been working on for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ysabetwordsmith is ready to be posted and will be going up in the next couple of days, while I'm still working on the other one.
No donations were received.
Signal boosting was once again on the low side, so I've chosen not to have a draw for January.
The winner of January's surprise draw is:marina_bonomi. The prize is free setting rental - 3000 words a month about two settings for 3 months.
My plans for February include: ADMIN WORK!!!; normal monthly posts - the free story, collection and character spotlights; and a small auction.
My goals for February, as always, are: writing 75,000 words this month (I know I can do this) and reaching £50 in donations, which will be going towards Mum's birthday present.
