The year 2018 has been an interesting one. It’s been mostly good for me, personally. I can say that I’m in a better position now than I was at the beginning of the year. I honestly had trouble writing last year, which is one reason my productivity in that department was low. I can’t tell how many times I sat down to write something and just sat there, looking at the screen, with nothing coming. I finally managed to stubborn my way through it by just forcing myself to write something. I had more rewrites and changes than I think I’ve ever really done before, and it took a long time to find a story that I loved. But I got there, and now the muse is flowing again with more ideas than I’ve had in a while. I just need to track down the ones I intend to actually follow. I feel good, I feel balanced, and I feel ready to welcome the New Year with new stories and new ideas.
