Your Year in Writing Gets Inked!

With the year coming to an end and things like Spotify wrapped dotting everyone's dashes, I thought of making one special just for writers.  

So here you go, here's your Writing Year In Review.  

Be sure to hold onto it to re-answer next year and reflect on how your answers have changed!  

(Created by Gabryél Grimm-Goretez)  

• Let’s dive right in. How do you think writing has affected your life? For better or worse.  

• Ultimately, what do you want to get out of your writing? What keeps you writing?  

• Are there any specific areas of writing that you think you need to learn more about?  

• Along with that, writing can be quite introspective. What’s something you’ve learned about yourself or life through your writing this year?  

• What has been your favorite subject to research this year? What's your favorite fact you learned this year?  

• How would you describe your writing style or voice, and how do you think it has changed over the past year?  

• Every journey has its ups and downs. What’s the best advice you received this year? What about the worst?  

• Looking ahead, what’s one thing you want to leave behind in 2024, and one thing you want to bring into 2025?  

• What is one key takeaway you want readers to gather from your work? What's the main thing you want to take away from your work this year?  

• How do you feel your art portrays you? Do you think your work is an accurate insight into the real you?  

• What’s something you wish someone would have told you at the beginning of the year?  

• Let’s talk routine. What does your writing routine look like, honestly? What are some changes you think you need to make? Think healthy, take care of yourself, love.  

• What themes or messages resonated with you this year? What do you feel like you highlighted the most in your work?  

• Who or what have been your greatest influences as a writer this year?  

• As we wrap up, what accomplishments are you most proud of this year?
