New Years is Coming!

My resolutions

Publicize Servusamanu More (improve readership 10%)
Increase number of writing sample articles up to at least 1 a week.
Change Servusamanu Background to something a few shades darker

Other:
Take Dancing classes with the GF
Read 25 Books (at least!) this year.
Improve freelance work to 10% of income

The big one for me is finishing my novel. I’ve written novel length manuscripts before, but they are very poor both in idea and writing. I can’t vouch for the writing, but my idea and inspiration is far more mature than it was the last time around. I really look forward to getting everything down on paper, but it’s such an intimidating process. 100,000 words, maybe more. Even once it’s done it’ll need to be edited over and over and over. It’s a terribly disheartening project by the sheer amount of work, but it’s also so very exciting. It’s a fun process that I wouldn’t trade for anything.

Good luck to everyone else in their own resolutions!
