2009 Year in Writing
Jan. 2nd, 2010 07:14 pm2005 version
( month-by-month breakdown, including fandoms and wordcounts )
Total Posted Fanfic Wordcount: 72,000
Total Posted Original Fiction Wordcount: 4,500
Note: What you are not seeing in that wordcount is the roughly 30,000 words of unfinished fanfic and 5,000 words of unfinished original fiction I also wrote but did not post because, you know, it's unfinished. *sigh*
---------------
Analysis:
I began this year determined to finish some of my longstanding WIPs. This obviously did not happen, though I am at least somewhat further along with "Secrets." Instead I fell into several new fandoms (most notably Narnia), and wrote a lot of short one-shots, mostly inspired by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
15_minute_fic -- which, annoyingly, seems to have gone defunct just as 15minuteficlets did several years ago. *sulks*
I participated in three fic challenges/exchanges -- RemixRedux, Femgenficathon, and Yuletide -- and enjoyed them exceedingly, despite headaches. Said headaches were mostly my own fault for being bad with deadlines, but I had a lot of trouble with follow-through in general this year. I seem to stall out about halfway through longer stories, which is probably another reason I kept writing short one-shots.
On a brighter note, I wrote more original fic this year than last year (though you will not see at least half of it on this list, because most of it remains unfinished). I have also tidied up a lot of the world-building for various stories.
( in more detail... )
---------------
So yeah. A moderately productive year, if I go by wordcount and number of stories... but an extremely unproductive year in terms of what I meant to write. Still, I had fun and I thought a lot, and I am more inclined to be pleased at writing anything rather than annoyed at not writing what I was supposed to be writing.
