Hey guys, Viking here!
So, no Being a Better Writer post today, for a few reasons. The writing-based reasons are that I'm currently busy with getting ready for the new year, including planning out my goals and schedule for the coming months. As I've got a book coming out in a few weeks, that plannings got a very visceral feel, but I also want to see about making sure my writing goals for this year are accurate and keeping me up to speed.
Is it starting to become a tradition that this gets delayed? I honestly can't tell. I did have a good reason for it, though. I drove back to Pennsylvania to celebrate the holidays with family, and since getting there on the 22nd, this is my first genuinely free day where I'm not doing anything. But that's for another unpleasant reason. I survived the winter madness that destroyed I-95 yesterday (and last night, and today...), and on hour 9 of my 3.5 hour drive, got home extremely late, and then
Well, I guess just like last year, this one is a little late (I like to get these done before the year actually ticks over), and for pretty much the same reasons: family, friends, and planning for my annual NYE party. But now that the party's done and the hangover has subsided, I can actually sit down and write my thoughts and review of 2018, much like I've done much before. So if you enjoy these blogs, strap on in and get ready to relive 24's year of 2018 and see what I have to say about it.
2017, what a year, I quit my almost 14-16 hours long job(8 hours working - 6 to 8 hours of travel), started my thesis, started to write fanfictions. I came to terms with my self with the single fact that I'm in love with a fictional purple drake by the name of Spike...
2023 is almost over.
Quite a few things have happened.
I got a new job and my mental health has improved since then.
I've been creating again after over a year of nothing. I'm hoping to sell at a con just to say I tried.
I also got engaged.
I've felt like a failure, merely existing. I hated it. Feeling the way I did absolutely sucked. Now I'm slowly finding myself again. I'm doing a little better now.
I'm thankful I'm still alive.
... Another year has been spent on this fun little site... CAN’T WAIT FOR MORE!
That’s right. Though the series has ended, and the fandom has waned, I’m going to stick around through the thick of it (and hope that the inbetween comedy series and Gen 5 is a worthy follow-up to FiM), and continue to write and produce new stories and chapters.
In fact, I may have a chapter or two ready by the time Hearth’s Warming/Christmas rolls on in. No promises, though.
