Liminal Space
(subject to update in case I suddenly remember something)
I'm not sure if I've got everything here @_@. Honestly there was so much going on this year, I feel like I'm definitely forgetting some big things whoops. Overall, though, I'm pretty happy with how I've progressed in terms of writing and socialising. I definitely would never have been able to talk to this many people this often last year.
YWS Memories
- I really loved NaPo in general, but one of my favourite parts was when @alliyah combined everyone's thread titles into one poem.
- @soundofmind wrote some wonderful songs! I still have 'nullify you' stuck in my head.
- I absolutely adored the positive messages @starlitmind was sending out throughout the year.
- @Arcticus and his name dreams meme definitely made an interesting time.
- I started painting/drawing digitally for fun again after quite a few years of not touching my tablet + stylus. Also, I uploaded some of said art pieces on Some Things Liminality Drew. Sharing my art is likewise something I've not done in a long time, so it's a pretty big deal for me to have started again this year.
- One YWS event I really liked was the RevMo review workshop. I felt I learnt so much, and teaching via highlighting the positives is a review principle that I still hold and will continue to hold.
- I started writing more statuses for the wall.
- I
- Speaking of that thread, I also combined a bunch of my own 'worst poems' into a longer 'not-so-bad' poem: profile.php?u=59293&c=1402592
- I discovered what the YWS outbox is.
Writing - on YWS and beyond
- I tried NaPo for the first time, with the theme Language and the Human Race. One of the interesting things I remember doing was rewriting the first poem I put up on YWS.
- I also joined NaNo for the first time and wrote about 30,000 words for [NaNo 2020] The Land After Miscreants (working title). It was great fun and really got me into the habit of joining in on WFPs.
- Overall, I wrote loads of poetry this year! On my WordPress blog, I had several months where I wrote one or more poems a day (though alas, that chain was broken once uni started in September). I mostly wrote free verse with a strong focus on imagery.
- I experimented with short stories in a variety of genres.
- I submitted my pieces to publications here and there. I was really happy to get the chance to work with the editors at one of them on a short story I submitted. I also had some of my poetry published on an online magazine.
Shout-outs?
Ooh, I really don't know who to pick. Can I just say: all of you on the site? At the risk of being cheesy, I'm really just so happy I found all of you. I'll just leave off with this quote by the anime character who is presently my avatar.
