Year In Review

[salixbabylon]

God, what a year 2011 was... The short recap: Mom died, I started volunteering as a "host" at the LGBT Diversity Center, I learned to crochet socks, I started seeing a nutritionist regularly (but didn't actually lose any weight that stayed off, although I did start exercising more), I went to Toronto/Ontario, Oswald died, finally went to the Folsom Street Fair, bought a corset, went to Vancouver/Victoria/Seattle. Oh, and I spoke at the local RWA a few times about publishing and about writing sex scenes.

I saw my family way mroe than usual, which is not really a good thing. Oddly, I saw my friends way less, although two local people in particular (and maybe another four beyond that) really stepped up and comforted me when I needed them. I'm very blessed to have such good friends in my life.

The end of the year is somewhat shadowed with the anniversary of deaths and the heads-up that my marriage needs some work. Last year's plans got derailed less than seven days into the new year, but I'm not letting that stop me from making some plans for 2012...

Resolutions/goals:
- start belly dancing and yoga classes
- if it's not delicious and/or you're not actually hungry, don't eat it
- write 2 stories/novellas/novels to submit AKA write for 2 hours every morning 5 days a week
- reconnect with friends, both RL and fandom
- fix marriage

Written work (only finished/posted work counts):
Written in the Stars, John/Rodney, 63,325 words
Hot For You, Arthur/Eames, 3482 words
untitled shower/hustler drabble, Arthur/Eames, 141 words

2011 total = 66,948 Not actually a bad year, despite it feeling like I wasn't writing much at all.

2010 = 94,243 words
2009 = 54,843 words
2008 = 31,169 words
2007 = 98,834 words
2006 = 60,412 words
2005 = 36,484 words
2004 = 48,031 words
2003 = 29,265 words
2002 = ~37,000 words
