In your own space, celebrate a personal win from the past year: it can be a list of fanworks you’re especially proud of, time you spent in the community, a quality or skill you cultivated in yourself, something you generally feel went well. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

It’s not fannish, but I’m fairly tremendously proud that this fall, I recognized that my job was heading off the cliff into “really bad for me” territory, and I promptly got my shit together, went job-hunting, and ended the year in a new position that so far is positively healing for me.

I have been writing a lot again, though! Above job stuff has re-opened a lot of mental real estate. It’s nice to have the mental bandwidth to do things I enjoy again.
