2014 Writing Progress
I decided to go through and tally up everything I've written this year. It's pretty obvious that I'm really good at beginning things and not so good at finishing them. My mind just moves so fast sometimes, and I'm such a slow writer. It's a bad combination!
But hey--as long as I *am* writing, I'm not going to beat myself up about it. At least not too much.
Fanfiction (with the caveat that I may have missed something):

That means I'm only a tenth of my yearly goal, and the year's about half over. Ouch. The state of my original fiction* is also terrible. I really need to finish something.
*I could very well be missing a lot of the original fiction I've worked on this year, since my folder organization is terrible. These totals also don't count any of the writing I've done for work, since that is (mostly) nonfiction.
