Happy New Year. It’s January 1, 2019 - holy cow we’re totally in the future. These were the dates in science fiction when I was a kid. And now we’re here. Wow.
It’s tough when the holidays fall on blog days. There was also a family wedding (congrats to JD and Maggie) and so many other things that ate all my time and brain space.
This year will have pen blogs - starting next week. I still have a whole bunch of pens and pencils that I haven’t reviewed yet, plus a bunch of new ones from Christmas. There are always new ones. 😎
There will be more of the flash fiction - because I am determined to get back on track in terms of output - and I WILL finish the Write the Story notebook before it completely falls apart (maybe).
And I’m not just determined to get back to flash fiction output, but also longer form output. I have things on the list that have been on the list for way too long.
I don’t make resolutions - I make goals. This year’s goal is to simply get back to what I love - fiction writing - more consistently. I like my day job a lot. It is fulfilling and amazing and annoying, but it’s not my LOVE. I want to get back to my love.
I lost momentum in 2018. I want to build that back.
My mom said she had a Mary Poppins vision of her upcoming year. I kind of want to steal it from her. She said it was a START and FINISH Line - HER finish line is a completed novel. She was on a bicycle at the starting line with a kite flying behind her that represented obstacles. She loved that the obstacles were behind her.
My seriously lacking visualization of my mom’s concept.
It’s a good visual - hence the adoption of it myself…here we go. Onward into 2019
