Writing Year in Review 2022
Just like for 2021, I meant to do another writing review for last year. However, things got in the way so this is a few days late. Due to personal issues, I didn't get as much writing done and not even get everything finished that I'd planned on, but alas... Here's to hope for 2023.
Number of stories posted: 1 revision, 1 WIP (cont.), 3 one shots, 4 ficlets for a writing challenge
Words written: approx. 10,300 (published)
Pairings written: Shawn/Hunter (WWE)
Currently in the works: 2 WIPs (cont.), 1 revision, 1 multi-chapter story, 2 one shots, 1 writing challenge (cont.)
Looking back:
- My favorite story that I published was probably "More Than I Deserve" because I liked how Shawn was being, well, 90s Shawn, and at the same time vulnerable. And I'm a sucker for clueless Hunter. :-D
- The biggest experiment definitely was "Catch The Rain" as it follows the whole set of lyrics of a song, just my own take on them. So that was different to write but at the same time a nice challenge.
- My proudest moment was indeed finishing a longer story that I'd mapped out the year before and that I hold very dear to my heart. Which leads me to...
Outlook 2023:
- I cannot wait to finally share above mentioned story. Due to life happening, it's still with my betas as it means so much to me that I want to it be as perfect as possible. The working title is "Sever" and it's a Shawn/Hunter story with a twist.
- I plan on continuing with the 30 days writing challenge sometime soon.
- I wrote more chapters to my really old WIP "Somewhere In The Fallout" last year and would really like to wrap that one up.
