3. WORK I'M MOST PROUD OF
Definitely Not My Problem. I think Peace, Love, and Happiness is my most well-written piece from this year, but Not My Problem has some character work I'm very happy with, and it also has the distinction of being fairly long, 15,000 words. Something I've always felt was a weakness of mine is that I have difficulty writing things that are more than a thousand or so words. Part of it is that I tend to imagine fairly small-scale stories, part of it is something of a mental block for me.
So Not My Problem being as long as some shorter published books I've read feels like a mild personal triumph and boosted my confidence in myself to start working on some original fiction ideas I've had for a while but never really believed I could do.
5. WORK THAT GOT MORE FEEDBACK THAN EXPECTED
EXCLUSIVE: "Everyone has a fated partner." Interview With Takuma Momozuka, the Digimon Rights Activist Who Wants To Recruit YOUR CHILD!
First of all, what a title. Second of all, I second guessed myself on even posting this one. I thought it was a funny little thing to write for myself as a way of venting my frustration with recent upticks in anti-trans rhetoric, but I didn't think anyone else would be terribly interested in such a weird premise. Glad other people enjoyed it though! It really sparked my interest in doing more Harmony Route fics, which seems to have been pretty popular!
18. CHARACTER THAT GAVE ME THE MOST TROUBLE IN WRITING
Probably Shuuji, honestly. Despite being a member of the "Shuuji is good actually" club, I don't personally relate to him very much. My mom made a point of keeping me out of talented and gifted programs, and even if she hadn't, it would have been in the context of the American education system. I didn't trust myself to capture his nuances perfectly, despite my best intentions. Given the sensitive nature of his character and surrounding discourse, I was wary around writing him.
I do have experience with self-harm, though, and I found myself getting frustrated by the callousness with which people were discussing that element of his character, which gave me an angle to tackle Shuuji that I felt confident in when I wrote Someone Like Me.
