2024 Certainly Was A Year…

[rodo]

… and I’m looking forward to being done with it. It wasn’t all bad. Just very, very stressful in a couple of different ways.

• I failed getyourwordsout – which is fine. As I mentioned in January, I gave myself permission to. I tend to get most of my writing done in November during NaNo, and that wasn’t an option, with three exams and the super important project scheduled then. But I did way better than expected! I’m only 16,485 words short of 75k, when my self-imposed goal was hitting 25k (aka what’s left without NaNo).


• I survived the exams and did end up doing really well in those too. I won’t be done with everything until mid-January (barring illnesses etc.), but then I’ll be free (to go look for a job. Urgh.) Exams suck, especially if they’re no longer routine, and if a lot depends on your performance on a couple of days.


• Another success this year: I hit 200k written for exchanges. That is A Lot. I also managed to take a pinch hit this year and had a lot of fun with it!


• I have so many projects that I started and still need to finish… hopefully, I’ll get that done some time next year.
