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.

Wow, congrats on hitting 200k words, even if you didn't meet your getyourwordsout goal! And also with getting through your exams! I definitely agree exams suck and I don't miss them :D wishing you a happy new year for 2025

That's for exchanges (in total). Considering I'm a slow writer who mostly writes shorter fic, that's quite the achievement for me anyway!

A happy new year to you too!
