2020 Wrap-Up Recap and 2021 Wishes

So, this shall be an annual tradition where I recap what happened throughout the year for me, and what I wish to happen the next year or so. (Me, because everything else has already been taken by other sources and explained with much detail :D)

Recap

Sooo.... 2020 is a chaotic year, ain't it?

Overall, it has been a horrible year for everyone, and I am no exception to that rule.

Untimely cancellation of physical classes here have definitely affected not only me, but many other students, especially ones in rural areas where there aren't sufficient internet access. Not only that, I will admit, the absence of a school environment has definitely made me lose focus. :/

But in the bright side, with extra free time I had on my hands, it has also been a year of discovery and exploration on my side.

This year, I'm proud of myself for being able to come out of the year-long hiatus I had during March, and honestly, if I didn't, I probably wouldn't be here right now.

The making of APBY (A Paw Behind You if you're behind news here :P), and Tails Over Tea had definitely been like a sort-of 'birth' for a new me. Tails Over Tea, although being a failed project due to my over-ambitious heart then, it was definitely a valuable learning curve which I gotten from about taking on a balanced number of projects in one go.

Other than that, in terms of socials, it has definitely been a blast. Although I'm now stuck in a weird limbo-like progress, the mutuals and friends I have seen, interacted and met are just phenomenal. Even though there had been the darker-sided ones, the good ones definitely out-weighed the bad. From amazing writers and others in the writing industry, to the sociable twitch streamers and incredibly talented artists, I feel spectacularly inferior to all these role models.

In terms of health and all in a summary, there were the down points and sudden depressing episodes, but I am hoping it's just a normal teenager thing and it would start lessening after a while. (I should really see a psychiatrist one of these days, I'm starting to think I have actually a lot of problems that I overlook as something very simple :/)

Wishes/Updates/Whatnot for 2021

What is there to wish for 2021...

Well, I guess there's a lot I really hope can happen. The must-haves next year are surely more spotlight on diverse characters/authors/streamers/podcasters/etc etc, and just generally rotating the general landscape of all industries.

And now... in terms of my own writing... I hope to finish APBY this year, or as soon as possible, since I'm having a very important, major exam at the end of the year. (And especially with education lagging behind already due to the pandemic...)

There will be a new standalone book coming after APBY too, Paradigm of Music. This is the cover so far, but with how it has been progressing, it might change sooner or later. :D

It would be a fantasy-adventure work that I will, as always, post on Wattpad. :)

It is, as shortly explained by the title, something about a land strongly-themed about music and its multiple beautiful genres. Watch out for it!

With my basic writing plans wrapped for next year, what else...

Oh yes!

Well, there have been ideas floating about and I have a very keen interest on trying my hands on streaming. BUT, it's just an idea, not a reality so far. I've been tweaking around Twitch Studio, learning its controls and researching around the area. So... we'll see!

For this blog, I hope to continue producing more content and liven it up as it is suppose to be (ideas can be suggested anytime, anywhere, I don't mind. I'm running out of worthy ideas, so... would appreciate all the help I can get!)

Anyway, that should be the plan so far!

Well, to end this, I guess is just... *sigh* I just hope everyone can live a better, less sufferable life next year compared to this year, and that I hope I can still live to hear, listen and see the many people I consider friends both in real life, and in my socials.

Anyway, enough babbling, here's to a better year for all of us!
