Happy 5 years!

Happy New Year
AND Today also celebrates my having posted stories for FIVE YEARS!
It's been quite a time. Lot of things have happened, both ups and downs.

In the last 5 years:
I have written almost 500 stories. That's a lot.
I have written MILLIONS of words. That's REALLY a lot (I'm not counting the exact number)
I wrote a full novel, and several novel-length series, with another novel in progress.
I've developed the lore for five separate ongoing settings, with a sixth soon to debut.
I hit over 600 watchers!
I started my Subscribe star.
I started a discord server (for subscribers).
I have met a lot of people, some famous in the community.
I've inspired others to create, both art and writing. Apparently I'm low key famous now, too.
I've made many new friends. I've lost a few, too.
I turned 40.
I've started drama I didn't mean to, I've ended drama I didn't know was happening.
I've had minor back surgery.
I got a new computer, a new desk, and a whole new setup.
I've played more games than I can count, and probably more than I should.
I got a new car.
And most importantly: I've drank over 13 times my body weight in coffee.

And so much more.

It's been an interesting half a decade. And I'm not planning on stopping.
Here's the the next half.

Happy New Years!
And, as always, thank you for enjoying my insanity~

I was also surprised that it was that low.

something something rookies numbers.

Not the word numbers, though, that's seriously impressive!

That is averaging 2 of my cups, which is 2 normal mugs, every day, for 5 years. That's 4 fluid cups, or 32 fl oz. Every day. For 5 years.

I may, one day, when I have the effort, actually go and do a count. It'll be a task, but even by my rough calculations, it's somewhere around 2.7 - 3 million words. But I think it's probably closer to 4M.

Happy new year! I've personally just hit my one year of posting art, I wonder how much I'll have done in five years, seeing how much you've accomplished yourself :3

Having a goal is fine, but don't compare yourself to others too often or too harshly. Especially since we mostly work in different mediums. You've already reached what took me 3 years to get in watchers, and animation takes much longer to finish than writing most of the time. Put out what you can, when you can. I'll be here to enjoy it, as few or many as it is.

Aw thanks! And yeah, I should really stop comparing myself, but this time I meant it as an inspirational comparison rather than an actual goal ^w^
Also, I've written some stuff as well, and even if writing is indeed often faster than making an animation, that doesn't mean it requires no efforts and skills, so I'm impressed at what you've achieved!
