*echoes a lot Aingeal says* Well done honey, a wonderful achievement, even if the numbers aren't as high as you'd have liked *hugs* as Aingeal said, you've ventured into new territories this year.

I like that you wrote exactly one more G/D than general series. ;)

Happy New Year hon, and I concur with the lack of resolutions, as long as you are enjoying the writing, that is *the* thing.

Much love to you, J & Lacey xxx

p.s. OMGoodness! It's started snowing here! Yay!

[nakeisha]

Hi, honey.

Thank you very much. I know it's a good achievement, but to miss to 'big' things, just takes the edge of it somehow. And not to write anything over c.15,000 words . . .

True, I did. *Eyes my adventurous pairings*

*Chuckles* And hit exactly 100 - go me :-)

Happy New Year to you too, honey. I've made the here and in a 'New Year's Resolutions' post and most years I haven't hit them all. But other years have been the perennial not hit, i.e. sorting zins out, but looking back at what I resolved to do this year, I have failed quite badly. So . . .

Thank you. And love to you, D and the wee ones too.

Ooh, snow. Are you now home or still with family?

That's a great number. Something you should be proud of! And there's no reason to feel bad about skipping NaNo!
I have no idea how many stories I have written this year, but maybe I will try to find out tomorrow ;)

[nakeisha]

Thank you, Nici.

I know it's not bad, but I do feel bad for missing NaNo and Big Bang. Very bad. And nothing over c.15,000 is poor going for me, IMHO. I can't help but feel that somehow writing-wise 2009 hasn't been that good a year for me. But I have enjoyed myself, so I do have that at least.

I ::coughs:: keep a note of mine in a spread-sheet and also keep this meme updated each time I post a new story. Me, anal? Yep :-)

[nicis_anatomy]

Enjoying yourself is all that matters in the end. So again: No reason to feel bad ;)

I was sure you would also have a spread-sheet for this *g*

[nakeisha]

I know. And I know and appreciate you're trying hard to make me feel 'better'. But I feel very disappointed in myself. I was shocked when I did the round-up, despite the fact I do keep my spread-sheets updated by the very poor stats.

I should have written longer G/D stories.

So yes, I enjoyed what I wrote, I made people happy with what I wrote, I made me happy with what I wrote, but it doesn't change the fact I wrote nothing over 15,000 *sighs*

*Giggles* Oh, yes. (At least one).

[doylebaby]

You've written so much this past year, it's truly amazing. And I know how you love to write, I wouldn't be surprised if you wrote even more this year! *g*

I do hope you continue to have pleasure in what you're doing, whether it's a drabble or an epic!

*hugs*

[nakeisha]

Thank you, sweetheart. I really hope I can write some longer stories this year as I do feel that I failed despite the number of stories I wrote *sighs*

Thank you. Enjoyment is what it's all about and yes, I have thoroughly enjoyed what I've written. I just love to write.

*Hugs*

I know how it feels to write only short stories. I have a couple of friends who write easily thirty chapters or more on a fic.

I've managed one 10 chaptered fic (and I mean with a normal word count) but mostly I don't manage more than four.

[nakeisha]

It wouldn't be quite so bad if I'd always written shorts. But when I first started wriing fanfic a 'short' story for me was c.15,000 and with five fanfic novels under my belt it just seems weird, especially for my beloved pairing.

*Hugs*
