I made my last improvement meme in 2012, and since then I've created the behemeth known as Ilion. It's hard to believe there was a time I didn't live and breathe Ilion, but there was, and the evidence is below.

It's a little harder to see a general trend of improvement in this year's retrospective compared to 2012's. The hardest part is behind me, and now I am free to branch out with confidence that I can master anything with enough practice, because now I've done it before. And what this retrospective doesn't cover is the great strides I have made as a writer. In 2012 I hated writing. Not so much now. The best way to follow my improvements as a writer is to read through my update logs on the site, starting with the oldest - it's almost a narrative of its own, and a great inspiration for those of you who think you can't write. (spoiler: you're wrong!)

With that, my goals for 2016 onward:

1. Keep working on those people. It hurts but I gotta do it.
2. Find a way to bring Ilion into meatspace. Even my closest friends haven't seen the bulk of it.
3. Never let myself stagnate.
