Looking back, Planning Forward · 12:02am Jan 13th, 2021
The last few months have been a hectic one for me, with a lot of ups and downs and some things just going sideways in the most unexpected ways. To start with the worst part of it all, my father passed away at the start of December, natural causes, not Covid or anything. There was some warning in this case, but it still went fast, and even knowing it was coming it was still sudden.
The good news is that it looks like I’ve landed a new job. It will take a few weeks until I officially start, once all the paperwork and checks get done, but they are eager to have me, so that’s good. It comes at a good time as things were starting to get a bit tighter than I would have liked.
As for my writing, it’s been alright over all. My official word count for 2020 was 285,938 words. Which is kind of low for me. I managed to hit my weekly writing goals only 8 out of 53 weeks (I use the ISO week calendar for tracking my writing, makes it easier to manage). On my best day I wrote 2,350 words, the worst was 35 and I averaged 771 words every day. A bit more than half of that was generic fluff work, trying to hash out plots, or just play around with unformed ideas. I also hit 1,000 unbroken days of writing on September 25th.
As for this year, I should be having some more stuff showing up both here and on FurAffinity, so keep your eyes open for that. Plus hoping to finally be able to proper reopen commissions. I’ve also been doing the usual new year’s resolutions, and have been sticking to them so far (so that’s a surprise). Hopefully things will keep improving as time goes on.
If you like what I do, you can support me on my Pateron and get early access to all my stories. You can even buy me a Coffee if you like.
