In your own space, celebrate a personal win from the past year: it can be a list of fanworks you're especially proud of, time you spent in the community, a quality or skill you cultivated in yourself, something you generally feel went well. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
I started this post writing the things I haven't done, but that is too gloomy. I shall celebrate!
I have posted four fics on A03, including three fandoms I haven't written in before (Winter Begonia, Arthur Ransome, SWBtS) and the pleasure of a new Wimseyfic. I've got ideas, notes and drafts for other fics that I hope to write this year. Prince Jing will finally get to share his bed with 5 + 1 soldiers! I haven't worked on the Giant Wimseyfic or original writing, but that's OK - I have recognised that I've lacked the energy to do so, and turned instead to trying to be productive where I can.
I've also enjoyed my efforts to get back into watercolour painting. It's a bit galling at times to see the things I've forgotten in the twenty years since I did any regularly (colour mixing!), but also encouraging to see that I am picking it up again, rediscovering skills, and enjoying myself.
