epiphanies and milestones

[electricalgwen]

This has been a year of big change. And little writing. Difficult living situation and sporadic Internet connectivity for a few months were off-putting, plus there was a general lack of inspiration and a sense that things were slowing down in the circles I (tried to) frequent.

I considered not doing an annual round-up because frankly, it's depressing (especially compared to some of the amazing offerings posted by some of you!), but a) today marks three years I've been on LJ and it feels necessary to both celebrate and recommit, and b) I like traditions (even short-lived ones.) So on this Feast of the Magi, I bring my sparse offerings from 2008. I do hope there will be more in the months to come.

This actually got nominated a couple of places, which was rather cool, as I hadn't written anything in ages and I'd never had a drabble nominated before. Thanks to whoever showed their appreciation in that fashion!

Thanks to everyone who keeps reading, commenting, cheer-leading, and being a voice out there in the void.
