Said I to myself, at the end of December/beginning of January: “Who needs goals and resolutions? I just want to have fun in 2016! ANARCHY WOOOO.”

And thus commenced some of the worst depression in my life.

Perhaps this attitude is not terribly helpful for my well-being. Perhaps ( Read more... )

I’ve set various writing goals this year, and this post is to check my progress on them, since it’s now about halfway through the year.

In January I said I wanted to do something writing-related every day - at least 50% of the days. It looks like my current percentage is 42%, ( Read more... )

As I said yesterday, my goal for 2015 is to do more of the same--more writing, and more reading.

Let's call this my 50/50 year.

Write 50% of the days. (Where "write" = "do something writing-related." It could be editing, outlining, submitting, or character noodling, too. I'm pretty good about not getting caught up in process, so I trust myself ( Read more... )

Since I had fun with the last one, I put together a new one.

I took Thursday and Friday off from work last week; combined with the Memorial Day holiday, I had a five-day staycation ( Read more... )

2012 was the Year of the Unresolution--the year of trying to be goalless, and just doing things that made me happy.

... it went pretty well, actually. And I Created Things this year, too--thus proving to me that I won't entirely sit around like a slug when given permission to. Then again, deadlines help a great deal, and I had a few of those ( Read more... )

So I've been noodling for, oh, the past month on a 2011 year-end summary/2012 goals post ( Read more... )

I posted here about my summer plans a few days ago.

They are, as usual, too damn ambitious.

Or no, that's not right. Ambition isn't the problem. New ambition is. Why do I keep starting new projects when I have so many unfinished ones?

Let's just name a few:
- Jewel
- Viktory Empire- My on-going LeverageCraft campaign which, by its very ( Read more... )
