(Belated) Happy New Year!

Wishing you all a (belated) happy new year. I've been lurking around a little bit online the last few days, but not really back to 'normal service' until today. Hope everybody had a fab Christmas (if you celebrate it - or a fab whatever you have been celebrating!) and that you're all enjoying an excellent new year already :)

There has been much enjoying of gifts and food and fun for me and mine in the last week or so. I feel very relaxed and happy, and almost ready and prepared to get back to work next week (but only almost! lol)

The weather here is cold as anything (hovering around 0C/32F - a little above in the days, a little below at nights) and we're under warnings for snow/ice. Thank goodness we have nowhere to go and plenty of blankets to hide under!

Total Number of Fics for 2024: 53

Total Word Count for 2024: ~308,600


So, I've written less fics than last year (64.5) but my word count isn't all that much lower (323,130). I'm guessing the difference is that I skipped some exchanges this year (much less drabbling was done, for a start, and I didn't even miss it!) and others that I wanted to take part in seemed not to happen, which was a shame. I didn't seem to get inspired to write as many one-shots in general, though I'm not entirely sure why. Anyway, happy with what I've achieved this year, all told :)
