Writing Reflection

After getting into writing last year I went mildly to totally insane this year. I wrote more than I even thought possible, already upped my writing goal in January after writing like 30k on WIPs alone in two weeks, only to then end up hitting my yearly writing goal in September anyway.

I got into Podfic this year and it has brought me a lot of joy to work on recording and editing, as well as to participate in even more challenges and exchanges than I did last year.

Once again, I met a lot of lovely people and had a great time writing and simply enjoying fandom with people I like to consider friends by now.

There were many ups and downs, but I'm glad to say that, over all, this year was a good one for me.

I hope you had a good year as well and wish everyone a good start into the New Year. 💜

Tagging: @stripedscribe @ravenmold @cnwolf-brainrot @mutuallyprime @flowerparrish and everyone else who sees this and would like to participate!

Art Recap for 2024! Most of these are for OwO but I still have some OG ones in there!

2024 is coming to an end.. It's time for the results. This year has been very depressing, so have I ;)

In 2024:

I survived.

I've met new people, who now are my lovely friends

I've had a LOT of burnouts

I overreacted much

I kinda learned how to love myself

I cried a lot and was depressed

I laughed a lot and was happy

I've been drawing and creating art

I kinda accepted myself

I've been working on my feelings (sometimes)

I cared less about dumb stuff

I've improved my self-esteem

MY GOALS FOR 2025

Survive

Accept the real world, lol

Get a part time job

Apply to community college

Don't worry that much

STOP overreacting

Draw more

Post more art

Care less about dumb stuff

Work on my life and future

Be less crazy and chaotic

See the light

And now, as I'm writing all of this, it seems that I'm about to cry, because I don't know what will happen next, what awaits us , humanity and the Earth in the future, and nobody knows. Life is moving too fast and I just want to FINALLY see the light at the end of the effing tunnel..

2024 fr has been the craziest year of my life, lmao
