ahhh, the new year. time to indulge in those lists I love so much.
- edit and self-publish First Run – I’ll be done with my edit by the end of March, and then it’s off to an editor. in my ideal world, this baby is up on Amazon by the end of August/beginning of September.
- faithfully write my chapters of Return to Elgin – I feel like I’m getting to participate in a survivor writing contest again with this one! it’s a commitment of around 2500-3k words per month, not insurmountable at all.
- get my license – yeah, yeah, this one crops up every year. I really don’t want to have to renew my permit for a third time.
- participate in the one-month game challenge – Brandon and his two friends and I have decided to develop a game from first line of code to last piece of art in one month. might be April, might be May.
- take my supplements regularly – self-explanatory.
- exercise at least 4x weekly – yoga, stretches, basic cardio workouts at home, and maybe a long walk from time to time.
- take a martial arts class – with Jake!
- read 35 books – still feel like this might be high for how often I get to read…
- try at least one new recipe every week – so far, so good. I’ve tried seven or eight new recipes with almost universal success.
- change my last name – this is happening after I file my taxes.
- develop a novel concept with Patrick – this must remain vague, since I’m adjusting to a brand new idea development process and shan’t spoil this.
- participate in NaNoWriMo 2014 – I’m determined to write the sequel to First Run this year, but whether that happens in November or earlier, there’ll be a Nano book this year.
- help Jake get his short made – he’s got this really clever idea for a sci-fi short and I want to make it.
