Reflections 2020

I don’t know about any of you, but looking back on this year only makes me want to scream in horror. Does anyone even remember the beginning of it, how naïve and hopeful we were? Maybe not. It was five centuries ago.
 
I don’t even remember what I was supposed to be doing this year…
 
Resolutions 2020
1. Get WIP-1 ready to be published.
As far as I can tell, it’s as good is as it’s going to get. I’m not sure if it’s good enough, though.
 
2. Finish editing WIP-2 to get it ready for beta reading.
Wow, I did this, I even got the beta reading underway. That’s actually kind of impressive. It almost makes up for me not doing the next goal.
 
3. Finish editing the other WIP that kind of got pushed aside after I decided to write WIP-2.
I did some work on it, but unfortunately, it kept getting pushed aside. It’s not going anywhere, though.
 
4. Write the two short side stories I have planned, and edit everything.
Did not do this, mostly because I was working on other goals. And yet another new project.
 
5. Maybe write the sequel to the other WIP. I don’t know, I’ll have to see if I have the time.
I did consider this, but I ended up starting a completely new project instead. Of course.
 
6. Work on my health and hopefully get better.
Kind of a mixed bag, really. This year was… well, you know.
 
7. Not back down when I know what’s right. Ever.
And I haven’t. Then again, I haven’t been leaving the house much what with the whole deadly plague that’s caused the death of hundreds of thousands of people.
 
Ugh, 2020. UGHHHHHHHHH. Go jump in a lake. No one will miss you.
 
Anything you want to share that was good about this year? You know, if that’s possible.

Mid-Year Check In

Boy, am I not looking forward to this. What even are my 2020 resolutions?

1. Get WIP-1 ready to be published.

It’s getting there. I think. Who knows if it’ll ever get published, though.

2. Finish editing WIP-2 to get it ready for beta reading.

I haven’t done nearly enough on this, but in my defense, 2020.

3. Finish editing the other WIP that kind of got pushed aside after I decided to write WIP-2.

Same answer as above.

4. Write the two short side stories I have planned, and edit everything.

Started on this, but got distracted. Because. You know. Everything.

5. Maybe write the sequel to the other WIP. I don’t know, I’ll have to see if I have the time.

Didn’t work on the sequel, worked on another new book entirely, because of course I did.

6. Work on my health and hopefully get better.

Wow, this was a goal? Wow. Frankly, the fact that I haven’t gotten sick with the deadly disease infecting the entire planet is probably a win. Hope I can keep that going.

7. Not back down when I know what’s right. Ever.

Did not think this one would be tested as much as it was.

So. Yeah. 2020, man. What a frigging year. I want to go crawl under the covers and hide for the rest of the year. No, that won’t do any good. For the rest of my life. Yes, that should finally make things better.

How has this year gone for you? Punch to the gut? Kick to the shins? Something in between?

Resolutions 2020

Sigh. Yeah, time to do it again. Something about this year is leaving me a lot less motivated than usual.

1. Get WIP-1 ready to be published.

2. Finish editing WIP-2 to get it ready for beta reading.

3. Finish editing the other WIP that kind of got pushed aside after I decided to write WIP-2.

4. Write the two short side stories I have planned, and edit everything.

5. Maybe write the sequel to the other WIP. I don’t know, I’ll have to see if I have the time.

6. Work on my health and hopefully get better.

7. Not back down when I know what’s right. Ever.

So it’s 2020. A big year. What are you hoping for it?
