Happy 2013!

Hey there!

Happy 2013! I hope you had a happy and healthy and safe beginning to the year!

I figured it was sort of time for an update--LOL!



I'm still working like crazy. When I figured out overall work hours from the year, I determined that on average, spread out over 365 days, I'd worked 10.5 hours. Every single calendar day. It was necessary with roommate no longer contributing/able to pay bills, but I'm so tired!

Still writing up a storm on many varied project--original and fanfic. My writing total for 2012 was 411,097, which is pretty amazing to me! I joined the GYWO comm last year and my goal there was 250,000. I broke through that rather easily. The comm is here [livejournal.com profile] getyourwordsout if you want to check it out. Several of the folks from the fandom are there as well.

Fandom writing...

I still *do* have the unwritten meme entries from late summer to finish, and I plan to go through those gradually. Then, I hope to finally finish the Nickverse, and get through several more of the commissioned stories.

There are also a few cowritten projects in various stages--[livejournal.com profile] starshines and I are working on our various Gibbs/Abby stories, slowly but surely, and last summer [livejournal.com profile] silvertales and I started a fantastic Steampunk that I'm dying to get back to.

Ange hasn't written since 2009, so I don't know what or where the Silver Fox Files stories might end up. I'd like to see about posting some of them, though to be honest, they're a bit dated.

Original fic writing is going fairly well, at least under the Taylor Gibbs name. I need to finish out the Ronan and Steel series and hopefully bundle that in a paperback form. The shifters seem to be a hotter seller, so I may opt to do more shifting tales.


SSPN (Super Sekrit Pen Name) tries to have an erotic short out a month.

My small press pen name is still a bit blocked, as coauthor isn't really involved. but I'm hoping to get through that and get those books out there. I have two contracted that really need to be complete.

I hope that 2013 is going well ths far for you and that your 2012 was filled with love, laughter, friends, and family! I'll try not to be so quiet here!

*hugs* Look at you go with the writing!

I'm greatly enjoying your shifter series so far, and can't wait to read your longer work sometime :) I go through your shorter stuff way too quickly!

I wish you a less busy 2013 so you can give yourself a break from 10.5 hour days! Take care, and Happy New Year. *moar hugs*

Hugs! I'm very pleased with the words ;) I'd love to do longer stuff in the original fic realm...I need to determine what is in my right of first refusal and what isn't.

MANY hugs!!!

Urte Berri On Friend!!!Glad to hear how your writing's going. I have yet to download the shifter series of yours, haven't been around too much :-( Trying to organize myself come hell or highwater but am still alive and kicking.

Mind you take care of your health.

Wow, Go-Go-TG-Productivity! :)

I really hope 2013 is a better year for you work-wise, dear, you've got too much strain piled up on you to meet the demands without enough of it being spread around.

Ai! The NCIS Steampunk fic! I really do need to get back to that! I'm still really excited about the idea and where we have it going, I just always seem to get tangled up in all those "must make more money" projects. O.o!

Happy New Year, sweets, and here's hoping it's a better one for both of us!! *HUG*

You know me...I don't do things by half measures ;)

I hope 2013 is great for us both--less work and more fun while lots more income works for me.

YES!!!! Steampunk ;)

Happy 2013! This is the first time I've been able to get onto LJ in 2013 - LOL! It seems to have been down for days.

You were incredibly productive in 2012, so I hope that continues for you in 2013.

HUGS!

And thank you for the package!!! It arrived and I just love it :)
