Year in Review fic meme, 2011
Jan. 11th, 2012 07:34 amThe Review Meme is very late - but I thought since it was already really damn late, I’d leave posting this until after the fest reveals. This bit of navel-gazing tends to be more useful to the writer than readers, I think; but I do find it very useful.
2011’s wordcount was 104 600. Not bad: still down from 2009’s ~131 000, but in the same area as 2010’s ~107 000, and 2010 didn’t involve a dissertation. FYI, the wordcount includes ‘real’ posts to LJ and original work as well as fanfic.
Hopefully I’ll do better in 2012. Either way, as I said last year: keeping track of this stuff, and giving myself a target, it reminds me that writing being really fun doesn’t make it a bad indulgence you should ignore in favour of your friends, and that writing being really hard doesn’t make it a chore you should ignore in favour of your friends.
