Happy New Year!

Well, we’ve made it to the end of another year!  It was nice to see things sort of return to normal this year.  It wasn’t a perfect year, but at least the Boys finally got back out on the road to continue the DNA World Tour.  And we finally got the Christmas album!  All in all, 2022 was a pretty good year to be a BSB fan.

It’s also been a good year for me in terms of writing.  After almost a decade on hiatus, my 00Carter co-writers and I posted three new episodes this year.  Five years after beginning it, I finished My Brother’s Keeper, started its sequel The World Will Be Waiting, and even managed to write a Christmas parody before the year was done.  But my biggest accomplishment this year was writing as regularly as I did.  I wrote something 358 out of 365 days this year and have been on a daily writing streak since January 22, which amounts to 344 consecutive days of writing MBK/TWWBW.  Prior to this year, the longest streak I kept track of was 148 days in 2021, also on MBK, so I’ve more than doubled my record.  At this rate, not only do I fully intend to reach 365 days, but I would love to be able to say I wrote every day in 2023… or at least until TWWBW is done.  I don’t know if I’ll finish it next year or not because, at this point, it’s too early for me to estimate how long it will be, but it would be cool to be able to say I wrote daily on it from start to finish.  I’m afraid to jinx myself by making a formal resolution, but so far, so good!  With that being said, Chapter 13 of The World Will Be Waiting has been posted.

As always, thank you for your support this year!  Whether you’re a longtime visitor or new to Dreamer’s Sanctuary, I appreciate each and every visitor and reader.  While we seem to be in something of a BSB renaissance fueled by ’90s nostalgia, the fanfic corner of our fandom seems to get smaller and smaller every year.  That being said, I had more visitors this year than I did last year, so I’ll take that as a win.  Thank you again to everyone who has visited my site, read one of my stories, or commented on one of my posts or chapters.  It’s nice to have someone to share my ideas with.  I wish you all a happy, healthy new year and hope to deliver a lot more free reading material for you in 2023!
