summer 2020 writing recap

this summer i got back into writing fic after over a year of not doing any creative writing whatsoever! i guess i was spending my entire writing brain working on my thesis for that year – it's funny to think about how much time i put into those 15k words, which frankly makes creative writing feel like a breeze in comparison. if i could sit down and get 500 words done on my thesis i would call it a good day, and often i had to word vomit all my thoughts for hundreds of words so i could cut it down to a single actually coherent paragraph.

i can definitely feel myself growing in terms of my fiction writing skills which makes me really happy. for a long time i didn't think of myself as a writer in any way, nor as someone who would be able to consistently produce good fic... not that i think of myself this way now, but i think with everything i write i am pushing myself to flex a new writing muscle. and someday i can dream of having even more fic on my ao3 dashboard!

OVERVIEW

• total word count: 19,814
• written for fests: 4/5 (except for proximity, which doesn't count because it's from the gdocs graveyard)
• all of them were rpf...
• 2 "idolverse"/canon, 1 atla au, 1 college au, 1 historical au

a lot of rambling on fic in general under the cut

( one day i'll have a fic title i'm actually happy with )
