2010 writing in review
I really don't know where 2010 went...too, too fast. And I didn't have as much time for writing this year as I would have liked. But I did manage to get a few things written.
Last January's resolutions for 2010 were: This will be the year I finish "All Will Be In Order," and it's always a goal to be working on "Kaleidoscope"; maybe I can finish the OotP part? I'd also like to write more Chalion or Vorkosigan, especially if there's a ficathon again this summer. And more original fiction, even if only a little.
Hmph. I didn't manage to finish "Order"...I did finish Chapter 5, and then I came pretty close to finishing the final chapter in February, but after that it got put on the back burner. On the other hand, I made progress on "Kaleidoscope," wrote both Chalion and Vorkosigan fic, and even wrote a little original fiction, so I guess 2010 was a success overall.
Writing resolutions for 2011: Finish "Order." Make progress on "Kaleidoscope" (any chance I could finish it this year?). Write something more action-ish or plotty for Chalion or Vorkosigan, because so far I've written exclusively short character-study pieces in those fandoms.
