That Word Count Meme
30 Dec 2005 03:53 pmAs some of you will know (& have suffered *g*) I like keeping track of my word count when I'm in the throes of writing. I don't know - it helps to motivate me, I suppose. Though of course, more doesn't necessarily mean better. ;-)
So I was pretty interested to see this meme doing the rounds.
I've been in a bit of a writing black hole lately & so I thought that a review of the year's writing efforts might just gee me up.
So here we go:~
This was Bluespirit - A Review of 2005
Lotrips
Scattered Hearts ~ 16,449
The Discovery Series ~ 2,422
Bad Poetry ~ 4,037
For Orlando ~ 2,662
Living the Happily Ever After (WiP) ~ 3,318
A Very Fine Wine ~ 2,785
Taking Direction ~ 1,026
When Craigsie met Diasy ~ a Green Glass Interlude ~ 2,139
Remember ~ 550
A Perfect Balance ~217
Various Sean/Orli/Vig OrliCon!One crack!ficlets ~ 2,488
A dribble of drabbles (I'm sure that's the collective noun!) totalling 1200 in all.
Plus an unfinished VigOrli with just ~ 427 so far
Atlantis
Ah, my shiny new fandom & one in which I seem destined to begin but not finish stories. Hah! Well, that's my New Year's resolution - to finish the following:~
The h/c one with that Rodney monologue ~ 817 so far
The fantasy one with accompanying photo manip ~ 356 so far
Oh, & my one & only completed fic in this fandom so far? An ickle ficlet! *shakes head*
So desired ~ 150
So, the grand total is 41,043
That's not too bad, I suppose - considering that I haven't been seriously writing for the last few months.
And I must just mention this. I got a lovely little bit of feedback the other day for the fic that I wrote for last year's
vo_xmas challenge (2004). It was so nice to see an older story still bringing someone some happiness. I've felt a little bit out of things lately - funny how people don't tend to drop in & comment when you're not posting so much fic, isn't it? *g* - & so this was a nice boost.:-)
