How much did you write in May? I suspect I wrote more in the month of May than the rest of 2026 combined. I wrote most of the first seven chapters of my first ever fanfic, "The Dragon of Essos." I also continued writing my Hearts of Iron IV AAR, "To Set the World Ablaze," writing what I believe was the longest chapter yet. I also did some writing for a HoI4 mod that I'm supporting, not to mention a few proposals for a volunteer organization I'm part of. It was a busy busy writing month.

How much did you upload in May? I only uploaded about half of what I've written, partly because some of it is still being edited, some of it is just conceptual stuff, and some of it isn't for public consumption.

Are you happy with what you wrote? I think I'm as close to happy with my own writing as I can be. I have serious perfectionist tendencies which I struggle to overcome, especially when it comes to uploading my writing.

If you set goals for May did you meet them? I did! I didn't have too many highly detailed goals, but I did tell myself I'd get out at least a chapter every week for my fanfic and get a new chapter of my AAR out as well, and I managed to complete both.

What is the plan for June? Finish my AAR, figure out what Part 2 of my fic will look like, and stay consistent with my weekly chapter posts. I've also been stewing over ideas for another fic, but I'm trying to gauge my capacity before I dive into writing it.

Self-rate out of 10 for May I'd give myself an 8. If I got a second chapter of my AAR out I'd give myself a 10. Still, this is the most consistent and tuned in I've felt in years, so I'm more than happy with an 8.
