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
blue_fjords,
amand_r, and
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 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!

Date: 2011-01-01 10:15 am (UTC)You are an awesome beta - I loved your input on the fics we worked on (even though that was in 2009). &hearts
To a year of writing in 2011 for both of us! Your 2010 November is so damn impressive. *stares at word count*
Will you be around for GYWO in 2011?
