Is it too early for this sort of post?

2011's pretty much over and done with. I consider it a good year. Made some friends, got back into fandom (even if I did leave it again, but hey), learned some new things.

I also wrote a LOT. How much a lot?

Approximately 142,000 words.

This does not include the counts for both of my in-progress big bang fics, an unpublished Holmes pastiche that's also still in-progress, or numerous other things that haven't seen their way off of kinkmemes yet. I don't even know what that number would be if I included those items. This does include fics that I wrote as jumperfucker and exchange fics that have not yet been revealed.


I don't usually do new year's resolutions. I still don't really count these as such, but I would like to, in the coming year, actually make a bit of money, and not maim myself in any way. I tend to be really bad at both of those things.

Two days ago I wrote something similar

How connected was the 142k of your own composition?
I'm not going to make it to the end of War & Peace by the New Year, but I'm trying for the start of next semester

How much money is "a bit"? You don't have to answer.

I think around 60-75k of that was all in the same universe. Maybe more. I wrote a lot of Sherlock Holmes stuff this year, which made up the bulk of that 142k.


And as for making some money, anything more than I made this year, which was pretty much nothing. I'm hoping to properly publish that pastiche, though. There's a bit of a market for it.
