The words keep coming
Apr. 20th, 2021 10:02 pmTrying to be a little more upbeat after the last couple of negative posts. The other situation isn't resolved yet but I feel like we're at least kind of moving in the right direction. It's going to take time, but I think we'll get there eventually.
So, enough about that. I want to make a happy post.
Today, I posted another fic. Like most of the things I've written this year it ended up being longer than planned, but I really enjoyed writing it.
Title: The Only One On This Road
Fandom: The Lost Tomb Reboot
Pairing: Gen
Rating: Teen
Summary: Stupid. He was so stupid. No one is going to want to work with him now that he’s been foolish enough to let himself get kidnapped. Not even Wu Xie, and it’s well known in the industry that he’ll give anyone a chance.
I've already started my next fic which is going to be the fourth (and I think final) part of The Unraveling of Zhu Yilong. It's funny, I was saying on Twitter a couple of days ago that I never imagined when I read my![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
sundial_exchange letter and thought 'yeah, I can do something with that' that it would turn into a multi-part series that I am now super invested in. I've had so much fun writing it.
I was looking at my AO3 stats today and I've now posted over 50k of fic this year, and it's honestly one of the few things in my life I genuinely feel good about at the moment. I'm only 2k behind the total I wrote in 2012 and after that I have to go back to 2010 to get to a year where I wrote more. It's just such a nice feeling to finish a fic and immediately start another one because I know exactly what I want to write. I already have an outline for the one I want to do after the one I'm currently working on.
I just feel a little more like me again and I don't think I realised how much I missed writing fic until I started doing it again. I think setting myself a daily goal of 500 words has helped a lot as well as the fact that I've fallen into quite a small fandom where people are always happy to discuss ideas and help me.
So, yeah, feeling good about my words at least and given how shit everything else is I'll take it!
