Self Resolution
2008 left me feeling slumped. Despite the wonderful bits of becoming a mom, getting married, moving away from the parents etc. that was my personal life, my professional life, my writing has taken a tail spin nose dive. So in an attempt to "pull up" I'm going to join in the experiment Knaves All 3, a concocted experiment Anna, Yuko, and I designed to revamp our creative selves.
My personal goals for the year are as follows in no uncertain order:
Stick faithfully to Knaves All 3
Finish the Storyteller Novel
Find the balls to submit a piece of work to the Writer's Digest Annual Writing Contest
Find a way to live by my writing, financially.
I feel like my professional slump is going to seriously impede my relationship with the man I love not too far down the road. And I don't like what this slump is doing to me personally. In my private depression at my lack of success, I've found that I've become a lot snappier, my temper is shot, and the stress of parenting is taking a double toll. While I will remember 2008 for the leaps and bounds I took in my personal family life, I want to look back on 2009 as a year of reinvention and meeting my goals. Nearly a decade ago when I was sitting in freshman English, I made the life goal of publishing my first book by the age of 25. And I would really still like to see that happen, or at least finish, completely finish a book and have it out in the eyes of scrutiny by the age of 25. Knaves All 3 has the potential of lending the support I need to finish what I've started. Here's to a promising year and a promising experiment.
