Better Late Than Never, 2012
Dreadfully late to be posting this; I’ve been sleeping off the cold from hell. I’ll try to keep this short and sweet so I can get back to work, which I’ve fallen embarrassingly far behind with.
2011 was a wicked good year for me, even with all the road blocks. I designed three sites and two book covers; I managed to pick up new clients and new friends; I began the process of moving into a new room, a bigger deal for me than it probably should be; I spent a weekend in New Orleans; I was able to paint my nails for the first time after years of torturous biting and peeling; I finished NaNoWriMo at 50,265 words, my first win in three years; I saw my estranged family over the holidays and didn’t have the urge to kill myself; I had two stories accepted and one rewrite request. There was really only one low point that I can recall – the loss of my closest friend.
Some resolutions for the new year: Switch hosts and revamp the site; self-publish my first novella; write everyday; finish at least 50 books; get my shit organized; write about my brief trip to NOLA, which I promised to do last summer; update more often; travel – somewhere, anywhere; inspired by The Nerdist Way – I’ll blog more about this later – complete my Character Tome and charactercizes; work more; eat better; and change up my hair with some cockamamy color.
I hope you’re all well and happy and extracting some joy out of this frigid winter weather. Brrrr. Don’t forget about me!
