Dieter is toasting me in my icon
Dec. 31st, 2010 05:12 pmSo while I am sitting here, basking in the glow of an amazing day in St. Augustine with Mom, I figure that now is the best time to write up my 2010 in review post!
( 2010: if you try sometimes, you just might find... )
All right. Resolutions!
1. Finish The Hungry Ground. I have to be better about writing on weeknights as well as weekends, even if work knocks me on my ass. I'm aiming to finish in the summer: hopefully will have a first draft by June or July in order to start querying in August or September, so as to avoid the writing convention crunch. I have a list of top agents, and I have what I think is a more salable story, and I am ready to go. Maybe this time I'll get that agent.
2. Work on confidence, as always. I get better every year, but it's an ongoing process!
3. Continue to be fiscally responsible. I've been good at budgeting and I don't want to change that! And since I'm fortunate enough to have a job that leaves me with some extra cash, I want to give more to charity this year.
4. Spend more time with you guys! Due to being crazy-busy, I have fallen off the face of the earth, and I miss y'all. Any one of you should feel free to AIM me at insomniacF3 if you see me online - I don't bite!
5. Be more healthy. Not because I'm unhappy with the way I look, but because my arteries will thank me. Besides upholding my workout schedule, I need to learn some healthier recipes.
6. Most of all, I want to be sitting here in my parents' house next year, just like this, and know that the people I love are happy and safe. That's not really a resolution, though. That's just my hope.
Happy New Year! ♥ I love you all!
