Tales from the Loathly Lady

This year, to my very great relief, was much better than last year where writing was concerned! Some very unexpected diversions, and the massive commitment level of my autumn musical theater work, mean that I didn't get some of the original projects I wanted to do started, let alone finished, but I always have big expectations I know I can't live up to, so I'm doing a better job than I sometimes do of being forgiving of myself for all of that.

( Popping in a cut since this is my third post of the day. )

This hasn't been my best writing year for sure, but I did do some decent work, and I can't blame myself for it too much, in year two of the pandemic! As usual, I'll split my writing into three categories and talk about how all of them went over 2021, and then say a bit about 2022 plans and goals.

( A bit about recaps and fanfic, a lot about original work and what's coming up! )

I did a lot of creativity in 2019 (I made so much art, you guys! I still wouldn't call myself great at it, but I made it, and I am improving, and that is what matters, becaus being good at everything is not the goal. And I wrote a song or two, which is a lot for me, I am the world's slowest composer), but I am specifically going to do a writing wrap-up first because I think it's what most people who happen to read this journal would be interested in and second because it's easier to talk about and find statistics for!

My writing this year fell into three loose categories, so I'll split it up into those categories for ease of discussion!

( I thought I'd get away with not needing a cut on this one, but I started rambling in the original fiction section. )

So! That is my 2019 writing recap! I have had people mention being interested in my writing and my process and me talking about it here once in a while but I really have no idea how to do that, so I leave those questions up to you to ask or not ask, as you desire.
