The year in review

I saw megyal's "Year in Fandom" review of all the stuff she'd written, and decided I wanted to do my own little review as well :D

I think the biggest lesson I learned (and really internalized) in 2010 was the whole idea of showing and not telling. I'd sort of been, yeah okay whatever, show don't tell, but I'd never really internalized the lesson in a way that made me start writing like that.

I think part of it is because I was so heavily involved in fandom (ie, rent_a_gundam) and in fandom you don't really get to show-not-tell because people already know about the characters for the most part.

So 2010 was a year of discovery! Discovering my own characters, and my ability to write a cohesive, coherent story. And my ability to write a long story, too.

( Fic-wise for 2010! With comments. )

All together, it's about 158k worth of writing posted on the internet. Plus all the stuff I did for publication, which equals about ... holy fuck, 116k. Hoshit. And here I'd felt like I hadn't written that much! 274k @___@
