Ali's Fic Year in Review: 2015

[alisanne]

As many of you know, 2015 was a weird year for everything writing because of RL ~stuff that shan't be mentioned here. Needless to say my word count definitely suffered as a result, In fact, I haven't written much of anything since the summer really, so I suspect my count will be half what it was last year. Anyway, I guess we'll see in a bit.
Here we go! As usual, I'm only linking stories over 1K.

tl:dr: my word total is: 162,410 words, which, as predicted, is about half of last year's total. Makes sense since I stopped writing in the middle of the year. :P

As for what this year holds...who knows?
I have no resolutions per se, just to try to get back to the way I was before the life changing events of the summer of 2015. Fingers crossed that I can. :)
And I wish for all of us a prosperous, joy-filled new year. ♥

That is still an impressive number of words, even if it wasn't as many as you wanted to accomplish.

I'm afraid to tally my word count for 2015. Though it is more than 0, so there's that.

Wishing you a prosperous, joy-filled and healthy new year. <3

Aww, thanks! :)
And you should do it. It may be more than you realize.
Thank you for the good wishes, I wish for the same for you! <3
