Generic Year End Ramble Title

This is for the record…

…partially because I don’t really post my work to Twitter anymore for a variety of different reasons, including but not limited to:

• Melon Husk turning it into a hellsite
• Wanting other voices to shine on Twitter given the current climate
• And I don’t honestly post enough currently to make a deal of posting new stories there

So, what’s this for? Well, a year end ramble has become a tradition, and unlike stories which take a fair amount of energy, this is just me vomiting what is on my mind into the WordPress reader as a summary of my year, which has been… full.

A lot of what I normally write about has changed and shifted around due to developments in my personal life, and whilst a lot of the trauma themes can remain (and let’s face it, trans allegory will always find its way into my writing regardless of what I do), I don’t want to make them the focus of my work anymore.

Outside of that, I’ve just been fully experiencing transitioning whilst keeping up a healthy social life where possible, which has made writing difficult to discipline myself into when a lot of the time I want to enjoy myself with people creating stories that way rather than writing what’s in my head.

Not to say I don’t have a lot of the usual WIPs and ideas kicking about on my G-Drive, but a lot of what I want to write are somewhat sweeping epic stories that rival some of my higher word counts which take more effort to finish, about four times as much effort to editing cause goddamnit I hate editing my own work sometimes, and when I go for long periods I end up just blanking out on where to go next.

The WIPs at least have “Rosa Notes” now, which is my way of telling Future Rosa where the story is prompted next… yeah that probably explains a lot about my chaotic creative process that for the longest time I did not actually plan or write notes, I mainly let the spirit of writing possess me and go from there.

A friend of mine did say that my writing style would lend itself to some completely original work, rather than being based off my current D&D characters, so that might be an area for exploration next year – or perhaps even revisiting my style of non-fiction writing for different topics.

Or I could still struggle to write regularly and have a similar vibe to the end of next year’s ramble.

Oh well, we raise a toast to my writing career nonetheless! To the fact you haven’t needed to support me yet because my current tech career is stable!
