I was tagged by @skepticalghouligan which is awesome b/c I was trying to find the one I did last year to do it again! Woo! Thank you!
Also! Sorry this took so fucking long. I honestly forgot about it and when I remembered I didn’t have the spoons to dig through my ao3. BUT I did it now so whatever.

Some things were probably posted at other times, too, but ao3 only tells me when the final chapters of WIPs were posted so that’s why Under the Surface only shows up once.

Best Writing Month: Apparently, it was May which doesn’t really surprise me. I had a pretty good run there in the spring and early summer and I was much more productive than I had been in the past.
Worst Writing Month: August, for sure. I hit a bit of a slump with my writing and it all pretty much slowed to a halt after August. It’s started to pick up again towards the end of the year, but August was a rough month on me. Even though I didn’t post anything in January and February, I was working on bang projects, so I wasn’t doing nothing. August was a painful month for writing and mental health, though, so I don’t feel bad about only publishing one thing.
Favorite Fic: Some Things Last. It was my longest fic and my most love to date. I put a lot into it and I’m very happy with it now.
Hardest Fic: Crash and Burn. I was really disappointed in that fic tbh. It’s short and didn’t hit the tone I wanted but in the end I figured I might as well post it because I’d written it anyway. It’s not my favorite, it was a pain to write, and I’ll probably forget about it.
Do you plan to take prompts in 2018? I keep saying no but I wind up doing it anyways so probably.
What was the best thing about 2017? That word count! Just look at that thing! That’s the most I’ve written in a single year, probably. I’m proud of it 🙂
What was the worst thing about 2017? Depression. I mean, depression in general sucks but it kicked my ass this last year. I’m hoping to kick it’s ass this year.
Any last thoughts for 2017? Good riddance you garbage year!
No, but seriously, it wasn’t as bad as it could have been. I did manage a lot of writing for the year and I’m proud of that. It kinda sucked in other areas, but I did my best and I can feel good about that.
Goals for 2018: My goal isn’t to write more. My goal is to write what I want to and allow myself more freedom. I tend to push too hard and then I wind up writing things I dislike and then writing becomes a chore. I don’t want to do that anymore. My goal is to finish what I started and bring joy back into my writing.
Also, I’d like to switch it up a bit. I’m not leaving my current fandom, but I do want to play around with some different stuff. That excites me.
