I write as a hobby, but I just do it for my own entertainment, I given up in showing it to other people a long time ago, because I'm not good at all and I never have enough time and/or energy to seriously work on improving my writing. I didn't really write anything this year, I had three ideas I wanted to work on: one was about WWII alternative history where Hitler didn't backstab Stalin, one was about a ragtag bunch of misfits surviving in a postapocalyptic world several years after a major nuclear disaster, and one was just about a (hypothetical) student exchange between USSR and USA in the middle of 1970s when the difference in culture was the most staggering. For sad political reasons I don't feel comfortable exploring any of these topics anymore, so I haven't really been writing this year.
What about you, do you want to write a novel? What is it going to be about?
