[FAIRYTALE] beauty and the beast

Yet another thing I wrote back in November! I sort of feel like, if you like fairytales and you want to write them, then at some point in your career (as it were), it is inevitable you will write your own version of this story.

Duhrrrrr. :B

This evening I will do a YEAR IN REVIEW of things I have written. I have written less overall, but more original stuff, and so I am happy. :|a

2009 Fiction Roundup

Posting this now, as tonight I have to go to bed early due to working tomorrow. :'( And work is slow right now, so.

It has been a very interesting year for me, writing-wise! (Which, as it is still my primary love and the hobby I consider first, is probably the most interesting thing about me. :|a) I started out super-unproductive and in a slump, which lingered longer than I would have liked: I definitely kicked off with output once I started my weekly goal thing. Even if there were (and still are) weeks where I get 90% of the wordcount in a single afternoon (usually Sunday, haha), it has helped immensely in just getting stuff written! EVEN IF IT IS CRAP AND I WOULD NOT POST IT, they're words! They come together (semi) coherently! Go me!

Even more exciting--while this is not a complete list (I am sure I'm missing things)--when I count by plain numbers, I've written more original fiction than any other type of thing this year. \o/ And I've somehow conquered my comment-count anxiety (I am always incredibly pleased when I get comments, they make me really happy! but I can also NOT get them and it doesn't crush me! EVEN NOW!), two things that I think make my writing progress/life in 2009 worth everything. I still have a passel of issues re: roleplay, of the once-burned now-shy variety among other things, but those are ultimately no one's fault but mine, and if I can kick my fic-comment anxiety, surely I can beat this too! I WILL BELIEVE IN ME!

Anyway! STUFF THAT I WROTE THIS YEAR! (Or as closely as I can manage, because I probably missed a few things. Minus my Yuletide stuff as well as giftfic, which is still remaining anonymous until the new year; I'll update this list then. ... If I remember.) Should anyone be interested and want to comment on anything old, I will be glad, but I just hope that if you read these, they are entertaining! ♥
