Yuletide Reveal and Writing Wrap Up
Jan. 1st, 2021 11:41 amOwing to the fact that it's been one hell of a year, my Yuletide reveal and year-end writing wrap up are exactly the same thing! The only piece of writing I finished in 2020 was my Yuletide story.
That story was for Random Harvest. It's a movie I've adored since I was as a kid, and is perhaps the Ur-amnesia story. It also has just soooo many fucked up twists that when I sat the Sweetie down to watch it on the grounds that we couldn't be together if he hadn't seen it, he was having WTF moments every 20 minutes. So, if you haven't seen the movie, go watch it!
In doing research for the story, I came across a gorgeous colour pic of the stars, Ronald Colman and Greer Garson, and couldn't help using it to make a banner:
Many Roads (8025 words)
Fandom: Random Harvest
Relationships: Margaret Hanson | Paula Ridgeway/Charles Rainier | Smithy
Three chapters, three AU ways to give Paula and Smithy a happy ending, including one that fixes the, IMO, most tragic loss the two of them experience in the movie.
If you've now seen the movie, this story will hopefully fix some of those WTF moments for you.
And that was it for my stories (or story!) this year.
It was not, however, the only writing I've done. I've got an MTH auction story that has now been delayed by a broken wrist, a concussion and a pandemic, and is over a year late, but I'm still plugging away at. I've had the last two weeks off and have used it more as R&R recharging time, but I'm going to spend the next couple of days figuring out what kind of a regular, manageable writing schedule I can put together to finish it. Once that's done, I want to get to work on a Pacific theatre AU Stucky story with a racebent Chinese Bucky that I've been wanting to write for several years now.
Fingers crossed, 2021 is a much better year for all of us.
