2009 recap

[etherati]

Writing totals for 2009:  176,663 words published in LJ; 3,807 words unclaimed on KM; 5,608 words of misc KM, claimed but not yet reposted; 902 words on comment_fic, not reposted; 1,665 words on zombiefest, not yet reposted; 1,100 words in drabbles; 20,869 words in unposted WIPs. Total: 209,894 words. Easily my most productive year ever, multiple times over. This is a positive thing!

School: 31 credit hours taken towards biophysics degree, GPA maintained at 4.0. Also positive.

Books: Not too many books read outside of class. That's not good.

Misc: Finally saw Night of the Living Dead(shame, shame, I know). Almost did NaNo, but then realized I was insane and backed out. Learned not to be afraid of sticking huge needles into things. I don't know, I'm running out of steam here.

Next year: Fucking finish BtB. Keep writing other stuff. At least start the novel. Go to AWP in April. Maintain the 4.0. Start volunteering somewhere else. Save up enough and get in decent enough shape to take an intro parkour class in the summer.

Hey 2009, you kind of sucked but were also kind of awesome in some ways(hiiii zorschach) but now you are gone. Fare thee well.

That's amazing! You are super-productive. Puts my list all to shame, but then again, my list has things like 'got my first frostbite' on it.

I'm a sucker for things that are more quantifiable, which is why my 'misc' section just sort of trailed off ineffectually. Frostbite is unfortunate but badass, I have nothing similarly badass to claim. :(

Seriously though the wordcount shocked me. Insane.

I didn't get the frostbite through badassery, I'm afraid. I got it walking across the parking lot at work. I'm still gonna say the awesome accomplishment goes to you.

That must be a hell of a parking lot. :O

The windchill was -40something and my earrings dropped temperature much faster than the rest of me and I got frostbite inside my piercing holes. Next time, I'll wear a hat.
