Insert 'coming back to an old journal, blowing off the dust' title here
I seem to be missing out on all the NaNo-mania sweeping my f-list XD
I think the last time I posted here was... far too long ago. I stopped doing more than just checking my friends pages, and even that stopped for a while because, well, actually I don't really know why. There's been a lot to update and I just haven't done it. I've had the time, certainly, but I just never posted anything. I think it was partly because I didn't think anyone would read this who I didn't talk to in real life, and there are better ways of communicating with people you know for real than a post in a livejournal.
I've realized that as the post at the top of this journal shows, I haven't done as much as I wanted to in my 101 in 1001, but the things that I have done are kind of wonderful to me. I didn't read as many new books as I wanted, and I didn't do a lot of the things that I thought would be important to me enough to actually do, and there were things that were majorly important on there that I should have done and didn't.
So I'm starting it over. I'm going to be thinking of things as all of y'all writers are cranking out the words, and come December 1, I'm posting a new list. I need goals for myself, and a checklist certainly helps. If you who are reading this want to, feel free to look at what I have up now (I'm not taking it down) and make suggestions. There aren't 101 things on that list, and I think I set the bar too high in some places, too low in others, but it's a good indication of the things I wanted to accomplish.
That said, one of the things is still going to be something along the lines of 'post in your damn journal'.
