#ny resolution

For the past several years, on the day before New Year’s (or sometimes ON New Year’s) I’ve posted a fic round up of everything I’ve written for this year. so...  the grand total of 2018 is....  281,755* words! 

Last year, I started 2018 bright eyed and fiction-ready. We-ell, okay. I tried to. I really did. I actually started 2018 with a broken heart. The Walking Dead had killed off my absolute favorite character. If I’m being honest, 2018 started off with me trying to tell myself that I was over 40 years old, and way too goddamn old to be so upset over a fictional death. Gimple, man. Fuck that guy. 

In 2017, I had posted  48,856 words, way down from the  284,830 of 2016. 

So, last January, I tried not to beat myself up about it, and made a New Year’s resolution to finish all my WIPS. We-eeell, that came a little short. I did almost finish two of them. so most of those 200k is me accomplishing a lot of what I wanted to. But I also took on a few fandom projects for people I just couldn’t say no to. So I this year’s resolution is to finish the three WIPS I currently have going and try really, really hard not to start any new projects.

Three fics.  

Three different fandoms. (TWD, X-Men, and Star Trek, if you’re interested.) 

365 days. 

I got this.

... right?

i owe myself another attempt

to try harder than my urge to give up

to spell faster than my thoughts sprint

to press “post” more often than shying away unto myself

so maybe a year, a decade

or even an eternity later

i shall be something than a mere nothing
