Reflections 2019

What a terrible year. I’d say I’m happy to see it go, but then I start panicking about all the things that I have to do once it’s 2020. Anyone else remember a time where they were able stop screaming in horror for more than five seconds? Because I don’t.

Well, that got darker than I expected. What was I supposed to do this year?

Resolutions 2019

1. Figure out some way to keep my yearly resolutions in mind. Maybe I’ll put them at the top of the file I organize my blog posts in.

I think doing this the day before the year ends does still technically count.

2. Finish the first draft of my new WIP and make my editing plan.

Hey, I did this. Didn’t get as much editing done as I wanted, but I was busy with other projects.

3. (Hopefully) finish my older WIP, and at the very least keep making progress on it.

It’s actually as close as I can get it. It could probably use some more beta reads to be sure, though.

4. Write something new, but not necessarily an entire book. Something smaller.

I did this. And also wrote an entire new book. I’m not sure that’s a fail, though.

5. Start up a new spam blog. I know. It’s the stupidest thing ever. I just think it’s hilarious.

Kind of did this since I’m now posting it on here. Plus that’s so many more blog posts I don’t have to write. Win-win.

6. Arm myself for the upcoming revolution.

It’s taking too long to get here.

7. Be nicer. To the people who are nice. The people who are mean will learn new definitions of pain.

This would probably be the only one I could consider a fail. It’s been a tough year for niceness.

I actually did most of what I wanted to. I’m pleased with that. I just wish things were a little easier. It’d be nice not to have to worry about losing my health insurance or screwing up my taxes.

What did you think of 2019? Did you get anything important done? Are you glad to see it go? And be sure to have a fun night!!!

Mid-Year Check In

I don’t even remember what my resolutions were for this year. Probably not a good sign.

Resolutions 2019

1. Figure out some way to keep my yearly resolutions in mind. Maybe I’ll put them at the top of the file I organize my blog posts in.

That’s a really good idea. Why didn’t I do that?

2. Finish the first draft of my new WIP and make my editing plan.

Hey, I did this! Good going.

3. (Hopefully) finish my older WIP, and at the very least keep making progress on it.

Progress, it is happening.

4. Write something new, but not necessarily an entire book. Something smaller.

Still planning on doing this.

5. Start up a new spam blog. I know. It’s the stupidest thing ever. I just think it’s hilarious.

I put it up here now. Don’t you guys miss it? Don’t worry. It’ll be back next week.

6. Arm myself for the upcoming revolution.

Really, all I need is my fists.

7. Be nicer. To the people who are nice. The people who are mean will learn new definitions of pain.

Well, this one’s been a total fail. These days, niceness doesn’t seem to work.

Honestly, I’m not doing bad this year. It just feels like it because the world is a total nightmare.

How are you doing this year? Do you remember what your resolutions were?

Resolutions 2019

The holidays have past. It’s a brand new year. And frankly, I’m exhausted. So while this post will be new, I think I’ll do some reposts for the rest of the week so I can take it easy. Until I start cringing over how badly written the old posts were.

Anyway, it’s time to figure out just what I want to do this year.

1. Figure out some way to keep my yearly resolutions in mind. Maybe I’ll put them at the top of the file I organize my blog posts in.

2. Finish the first draft of my new WIP and make my editing plan.

3. (Hopefully) finish my older WIP, and at the very least keep making progress on it.

4. Write something new, but not necessarily an entire book. Something smaller.

5. Start up a new spam blog. I know. It’s the stupidest thing ever. I just think it’s hilarious.

6. Arm myself for the upcoming revolution.

7. Be nicer. To the people who are nice. The people who are mean will learn new definitions of pain.

That’s my 2019 plan. Now let’s see how it all goes to hell. Ugh, I made myself feel bad.

What do you hope for this year?
