The Beaten Scraps

 Like many people, I'm happy 2009 has ended.  Today, I feel as if the weight of last year has lifted off my shoulders.  And I look towards the 27th of this month (my 29th birthday).  

Many people today are thinking about changes in their lives... you know... the R-word.  I don't think in terms of resolutions.  Occasionally, I make one, but really... No resolutions.

I do have a wish for this year, however.  It has more to do with the big 3-0 looming a little over a year away than it does with the change of the year.  I wish to put everything I can into my writing this year.  What this means, right now only I know.  It is a goal and a prayer. Question is, will I make it come true?

This morning I awoke to find a review for Gaslight Demons. Many thanks to Berin Kinsman for taking the time to write the review. Now, naturally, I have to share my favorite bits!

So, November is over... I failed at NaNoWriMo. There just wasn't enough time. I got sick for the start of the month, which off set almost everything. And at that time, I realized I have way too many projects on my plate. What could be sacrificed was (and for me that was NaNoWriMo). I'm slowly trimming down the other projects and getting a handle on everything I'm doing (not an easy thing to do during the holidays).

Paul Jessup/pauljessup. I owe a lot of him, for he’s taught me many things about the writing world. Buy his surrealist Space Opera Open Your Eyes or pre-order his short story collection Glass Coffin Girls.

I'm not in this anthology, but my good friend ldragoon is. So please check out her post about it. But if it wasn't cool enough her story is in the anthology, she also drew the cover!
