Kind of hoped that I'd have more to talk about for another end of the year post. I do not. 2021 was a close repeat of 2020, only with more vaccines, and slightly less lockdown. Slightly. Like 10% less lockdown. I don't know, I am not great at math.
As of right now, my province is under level alert 3, which... all things considered, could be worse. 50% capacity in most places, limit of 20 people per private gathering. We're stuck like this until January 10th. No one likes it. No one. We're getting record levels of cases, and it's to the point that contact tracing is backlogged.
I don't know. I'm just kind of... done, I guess. It's been a long, long two years and I will not be sad to see 2021 go. Nothing happened. It's like the entire world got put on pause for an entire year. It was weird.
I did not get much written this year. My 4thewords total says around 368k, and that's better than I expected. I didn't get anything finished. There were a lot of stops and starts, more stops. Could not get in the mental swing of anything. I'll be picking up Supermassive next week again, though -- I took a break for the holidays. I continued with Supermassive for NaNoWriMo, and when I jumped back to the earlier draft, I found problems that don't match up, and basically I have to rewrite everything that I've already written to make the issue fit in the right spot, so, uh, not looking forward to that, seeing as it's like 80k that needs to be completely revised and shifted around.
I didn't read as much as I wanted to this year, either. I didn't do a whole lot of anything this year. I did switch to Linux because lol no, not dealing with Windows 11 if I can help it, and so far the transition has been very smooth. I have yet to miss Scrivener (novelWriter and Joplin seem to fulfill everything I needed Scrivener for, other than needing to learn Markdown).
Mostly, I'm just tired. It's been a long year. I'm not going to say "I hope 2022 is going to be a better year" because, well, look at what happened to 2021. We all said that and it did not happen. I just hope that I'm more productive in 2022, because that's about the only thing that I can do.
