A Year of the Rose: So Long, 2014!

roxyHere is is again, the traditional wrap-up of the year. This year has been teetering on the non-fannish side. Though I posted an SpNJ2BB that I was proud of, and a SDOTP minibang that I was fond of, it's been a rather unproductive year outside of that. Oh wait--I posted art this year that I did not delete, thanks to the encouragement of some very cool folks! I threatened to and eventually did post a totally self-indulgent curtain fic that got a lovely reception--and comments! At AO3! I know, right????
This end of the year has been a little grey for me, for no reason I can point out. I know my LJ was a little quiet and not very sparkly. I'm hoping very much that this coming year is shinier than last year, and that I'm much more interesting!
So, here it is, my yearly "State of the Me" post, the first line of the first post of every month this year.

February 1 : What do you want for Valentine's Day? Dragon Winchesters or Wolf Winchesters?
(mysterious post, eh? *g*)

March 2: It's been a busy couple of days. BG moved again, lord help me, and we had stuff to do.
April 3: Thank you,firesign10! *HUUUUUUUUUUUUUGS*
It's my pleasure! ♥
May 2:
Guess who sent off their SpNJ2 BB draft? Yep. It's shambling on its way right now, hungry for brains and dripping putrescent body parts but *hey!* IT'S DONE!
June 1:
Dean
Dean stepped out of the shower, grabbed a towel from the stack on the toilet tank.
July 2: I posted another bit of Over the Hills late last night, patted myself on the back, and went to bed.

September 4:
I will absolutely have a rough draft by the due date for the SDOTP minibang! I'm glad, I really didn't want to drop out--it's my very favorite challenge.
October 3: I got a comment on Lodi that made me smile so much, I wanted to print it out and run away with it! *BEAMS*
November: The past week, I reread The Song of the Treadmill (part 1), bytabaqui and I had to draw this because it took over my brain!
December 4: I've got this really hideous writer's block thing going on, it's truly ugly.

You are awesome!
1/1/15 06:44 am (UTC)Thanks for not shooting the idea down flat! It just seemed as if a 6-10 year jump in time with no transition might appear to be rushing to the ending just to be "done with it".
So much love and talent went into Book 1 and into the first 6 chapters of Book 2 that it would be a real disservice to the past gazillion words to ' run ' to the ending. The characters were so beautifully fleshed by you to this point that it would be a shame not to lead them properly to the final scenes where "the two brave knights dethrone (and behead) the bad guy in the castle and give money to the poor."
Thank you for at least entertaining my ideas. If you ever want to speak by phone I can give you my # here in Florida. I am still old-fashioned enough to prefer phones over electronic messaging. So much more is accomplished in 5 minutes on the phone than in 40 minutes of IM or texting or email!
Hugs and Happy New Year!
