Fic Meme Roundup!!!

Well, everyone else is doing it!


So, here it is! What I wrote in 2010:
January -- zero
February -- zero
March -- zero
April -- zero
May -- zero
June -- zero
July -- zero
August -- zero
September -- zero
October -- zero
November -- 56k, finished 98,494 words, all original fiction aka 'ballet boy'
December -- Rewrites on said book

Go me, yeah?

Though I didn't write much this year until the end (thanks to Nano and, yes, Wellbutrin), one thing I *did* do alot of was beta'ing fics for a wide range of writers and fandoms and such. Most were for my Nick as his first reader and tweaker, but also for [livejournal.com profile] blue_fjords, [livejournal.com profile] amand_r, and [livejournal.com profile] misswinterhill. I also helped out a few others on projects here and there. I thank you all so much for letting me be a part of the creation of your works. I love beta'ing you guys so very much!

I also beta'd a couple dozen papers for my daughter and her friends, everything from school projects to internship projects to papers for different classes, as well as helping a couple of kids with their graduate-school application essays.

Looking back, 2010 was really The Year of Beta'ing for me, and I have loved it, though I hardly wrote a thing myself.

2011 will be different. It has to be. Goodbye 2010--I am so very glad to see you go.

LOL no I somehow got a second post after trying to fix the mess-up! So I privatized that one, and just leave this one.

AND OH OH OH OH your user pic! Awwwww!!! he is so CUTE! I love him!

:)

LOL maybe 2011 will be the year I actually let people see my original fics. I was telling Nick...what I write, I gear for that audience, not my friends-as-possible-audience. This is why I don't like anyone I know reading my Loose-Id stuff. I assume it is for those who regularly read that stuff, and read Red. It makes me nervous to think of you guys reading ballet boy. No no no no no!!

With the next one though, I am going to do my best to get over that, esp. with the way I plan to write it. *bites nails*. And, I will be looking for help for the fantasy as well. 2011 is the year I get brave! Maybe!

I will always have your back, C. Always. And I won't judge you for what you write -- gods, you've seen the stupid-ass stuff I write -- and when Ballet Boy is pubished, I will bloody well buy a copy and have it on my iPad. ♥

Yeah, I got 2 notifications for your post (I have you tracked) and that was how I figured I had the wrong one!

Also. OMG DRAGONS.

Also also, can Yuletide reveal fucking hurry up?

Does this mean I have to piss off the wife and go get me a boyfriend before I can read, Ballet Boy?

Don't piss her off! She is not one to mess with! LOL. I'll be turning ballet boy in tomorrow, woo!!!!!

LOL. So, how many months do we have to wait to read it?

I am not sure. The time frames are so different now--much has changed in that world! It is crazy different, and much better.
