It's that time of year again! Technically, I could have saved doing this for tomorrow, but since I'm not going to publish anything else until (fingers crossed) the wee morning hours of January 1, 2022(!) I feel like it's fine to do it today while I'm thinking about it and have the motivation lol.

Quick Summary
  • I wrote ~382k words (~286k fewer than last year)
  • There were 86 days in 2021 where I wrote 0 words
  • The day with the highest wordcount was March 7, with 5,638 words

What Were My Goals for 2021?
These goals were both written when I was EXTREMELY depressed and simultaneously was coming off of the best writing year (and probably the best year of my entire life [look. the bar has been on the floor.]) so I had very high expectations that I absolutely failed to meet. Sorry past noodle.
2021 goals )
given what an absolute struggle this year has been, I think honestly i did a good job ;0; I tried very hard and even if I didn't succeed, I made progress. trying to be kind to myself about this.
 
I can't tell if my readmores are working. hope they are.
