It's the last open post of the new year! What did you get done in 2018 that you're happy about? What regrets do you have?

I'm most proud of my non-fiction writing this year, which went very well and reached a lot of people in good ways. My fanfic skills have served me in good stead there, as I have a fairly good eye for pulling together hints and implications in the canon and explaining them in ways that have emotional resonance--basically I've been writing a lot of non-fiction fanfic, a paradoxical term.

I'm deeply regretful at how little fiction I've actually written this year, though. I tell myself it's just a different phase of my writing life, but... it's painful, to be so cut off from my fiction writing. Maybe next year I'll be able to turn that around...
