^ What it says. I sat down to write a reflection post for 2024 and realized that I really don't remember very many specifics. It was all kind of a haze. A fast-moving haze.
Let's see what I can remember:
- My mental health was crap (unsurprising)
- My year was bookended by minor infections, and highlighted by minor but odd (and costly!) health issues
- My creative output was practically nonexistent
But!!!
- I started a part-time job that I really enjoy
- I got a full-time job that I don't enjoy, but that pays well
- I'm proud of half of the stories I wrote this year, and appropriately entertained by the other half ;)
- Still haven't gotten around to commenting on gift fics, though... (bad Dee!)
- ...or filling those ancient fic prompts (badder Dee!)
- I did organize a WIP list that includes those fics, though, and I hope that makes it easier to remember the projects I have going on
- I completed a few pieces of fanart that I'm really satisfied with
- I made tiny booklets out of some fics, and would like to continue doing so in the future
- I found plenty of reasons/opportunities to smile or laugh, despite how scary life can be sometimes :)
2025?
- I'd like to tackle those comments and fic prompts, please!
- Maybe finally start Fannish Fifty?
- Get back into those writing questions I was doing here
- More tiny booklets
- Maybe even zines?
- Wade back into original fic
- Maybe get back into burlesque if time allows? (I think I'll just start over from scratch, with a new stage name and everything)
- Survive, and continue to find reasons to laugh along the way. :D

I'm glad you've come out of the year with a likable job and some good money from the other. Maybe even more glad that your creative pursuits have begun picking up again! That stuff's good for the soul donchaknow :D
I hope you find a thousand more reasons to laugh his year!
