Well, I'm not cool enough to have turned up a New Year's meme which interested me, so instead I thought I'd look through what I'd written this year, and what I concretely plan to write next year. A list which should interest no one but me. Yay!



Yeah. This is actually kind of hard to do, since I don't have a great memory for many things and one of those is when I did what. But looking through LJ and the date on the word files should help... x.x

PLANS FOR NEXT YEAR
Finish Close Your Eyes, for the love of God. x.x I swear, someday! Only one scene left!
Finish edits on Swing Low, which may or may not require a complete re-write.
I don't even know about Sleep Cycle. Sometimes I really like it, sometimes I think it's trite useless fluff that's trying to be better than it is.
Write the sequel to The Return. I'm really excited about this for the characterisation, but I HAVE NO PLOT. What's new?
Write this VolginxRaikov thing, which has the same problem as above. It'll be short anyway.

Yeah. Those are my immediate plans. I mean, I'd like to finish all the in progess stuff, but I doubt it'll happen. And that's not even all of it, that's just the stuff I started this year. There's more, which I'm working on at the speed of about one paragraph per six months. Yeah. I was certainly much more prolific towards the beginning of the year, and I feel like my writing was more novel and interesting as well. Maybe it's just Japan that's slowing me down, but whatever it is, I'm not sure how much I'll be able to get done next year. Hopefully a lot, some of it good!

Total word count for projects started in 2008: 169,600. Wow. I'm kind of shocked. ^^


In other news, I'm at home and having a great time, but don't feel much like spending it posting on LJ. I did get an awesome T-shirt, though. I'm heading back to Japan on the 5th and arrive on the 6th, so you probably won't hear much more from me until about the 10th when jet lag begins to cut back. ^^ Have a great New Year, everyone!
