HRCYED 3.0 July Progress Report
It’s time! It’s time! I’ve just signed myself up for reading 150 books in a year. Or, you know 75 if you manage to find a double-up for everything. Right now, I’m trying for the full whack. 1 prompt = 1 book. I’ll reevaluate about three months out from the end. Since I can always add a double for a book as opposed to trying to destroy my sanity.
What little is left of it.
Anyway, here’s where we stand so far. I’m only going to record the blocks I’ve started working on:
- Choose Your Party 1/5
- Backlist Author 1/5
- Choose Your Curriculum 2/5
- Pocket Monster Acquisition 1/5
- An Anthology of Authors 1/7
- All Those Secret Prompts 1/12
Are you doing HRCYED this year?
Have you got it all planned out or are you flying by the seat of your pants?
In theory, I have a plan. It’s already adjusted itself twice, but that’s how plans go isn’t it?
