The Best of 2017 and Goodbye to The Writings of Luke Reynolds

2017 was a very busy year for me. While definitely better than last year, there were still moments of utter despair and sadness that wracked our whole world. Despite that, I became involved in so many great things: my school newspaper, show choir, choir, and staff at anime club. I read through my first full-length novel and am working on revising it so I can query agents (I wanted to do that this year, but I became too busy). I had a solo at a spring theatre production, another great time at a local anime convention (and even one out of state), and read so much and watched a lot of good things and I honestly couldn't ask for anything more.

But at the same time, I realized I need to close an era of my life: this blog. While I am going to miss it, I'm not as active as I once was, and I want to move on to something that's not only professional but manageable. This is, but I guess I'm just not as interested or invested as I once was. Unfortunate, but understandable (at least I hope). But before I leave for real, I wanted to do one last Best of list because I love recapping all the wonderful things in the media I consume.
