2006 - The Year of Getting Things Done
Before I begin as to why I've named this entry as I have, I must make this absolutely clear:
These are not resolutions! In no way, shape, or form are these resolutions. Resolutions are things that are meant to be broken. And I speak from experience. I've made resolutions before and have never kept them so why bother with making resolutions.
Now . . . for the entry's title . . .
2006 is the year of getting things done. This will be the year that I find myself an agent and work on more original fiction so I can get published . . . and be paid. :) I'm not going to dilly-dally around on this anymore. I've got so much that I want to do and I can't do it working as a house-keeper in a hotel and as a sales associate in a retail store. Nothing against my jobs, I love them greatly, but they're not enough to pay the bills. They're not enough to gain me the freedom that I so desire.
They're not what I truly want to do with my life.
So this will be the year that I get things done.
2006 will be a better year. My mom won't need heart surgery again (like she did in Oct. '02 and in Sept. '04). We're living in a brand new house. I'm employed and, even if the hotel job falls through (which it could -- I have until January 16th to get my time cleaning the rooms where it needs to be), I will remain employed. It's all about plans, kids. Life is what you make it.
I will get to one convention this year and only one. Unless, when I get my novel completely typed up (it's mostly complete. Strange how it started out as a chapter to a novel and became a novel itself) and sell it, my novel sells for a lot of money. Then I'll do some traveling. I miss traveling.
2006 will also be the year of Gackt for me. Well, music in general but mostly Gackt. I love the Crescent CD. Tracks 4, 6, 10, and 12 are my faves. I especially love track 12. I want to cry each time I hear it.
I will also live healthier this year. I'm going to get back into herbal supplements. I will take better care of myself. I need to. Family history of heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and the possibility of adult-onset diabetes . . . yeah. I need to take better care of myself.
And with that out of the way now . . .
This year's to-do list (and in no particular order):
Transcribe my first novel.
Work on sequel to the first novel.
Work on a movie screenplay.
Find an agent.
Get published.
Go back to school
Launch website.
Write, write, write.
Learn how to sew.
Learn how to crochet.
Learn how to cross-stitch.
Improve baking skills.
Learn how to speak Japanese.
Not much, I know, but it'll do.
