Kicking 2020 to the curb

[cornerofmadness]

2020 got in some last licks. Went to put the pan away for my soup, dropped into the soup bowl and exploded it all over the kitchen where it soaked into my sock and scalded my foot.


I have more writing to do but here is the end of year stats for my writing (anything after this is getting counted for 2021)

Original Fiction yearly word count (I failed)

44046 / 50000 words. 88% done!

Fan Fiction yearly word count (What the actual hell?!?)

592791 / 25000 words. 2371% done!


If you want to see where all those half a million plus words went check out the meme below.

Jeez louise! That puts you into Most Prolific Author range. What's your secret?

[cornerofmadness]

No kids, no significant other, nowhere to go and no cleaning done

[duskpeterson]

Those sound like words to live by. :)

[cornerofmadness]

hahaha but I am regretting the no cleaning done

Happy New Year! And congrats for your word count. I love how the word count bar extends all the way across my screen unto somewhere beyond the screen, who knows how far. It cheered me up a lot to see that. :-D

[cornerofmadness]

Thanks so much and happy new year to you too.

That word count bar goes on to infinity

Congrats on the wordcount! While not to your level, I've written a bit too and I miss doing those memes. Probably about time I dust off my old journal (been mostly lurking and commenting here lol)!

[cornerofmadness]

Thanks very much. Glad to hear you've been writing. I'd love to see it if you do dust off the old journal
