[Writer Post] The First Post of 2013
It’s the first Writer post of 2013. I suppose I should say something profound…or at least SOMETHING.
To many the first of the year is a recovery time (especially today the 2nd) from the holidays. To others it’s a time to hit the ground running. I fall somewhere in between – today I’m at a decent stagger.
I took yesterday pretty much completely “offâ€. I ran some errands. I had my greens and black eyed peas. I puttered around the house – and I read a book. FOR FUN. Not as research (though there’s some underlying there). Not for inspiration (though it does that, too). But just because it’s a book by an author I love and I wanted to read it.
I didn’t make any “Resolutionsâ€. I continue to keep my one goal of the past several years “FINISH SOMETHING, DARN IT!!!!†I’ve done that over the last two years. I’ll do it again this year. There are still ongoing projects. There are new projects. And there’s the paying gigs. So there will be writing this year – hopefully more/better/published. I have no control over the “published†part except to SUBMIT and keep submitting, which I do.
I’m truly grateful I didn’t start the year searching for a job (again). That doesn’t mean I’m letting myself get comfortable (and by comfortable, I mean complacent). I need to keep up the work and the fight. It’s all any of us can do.
But now…looking forward… if there’s something you’d like to see or have me talk about (even if it means doing some research – darn) – let me know via comments or email. I would love to get suggestions on what to cover, what would be helpful to other people, etc. And not just because it would mean I’d finally know someone’s reading this. 😎
So…happy New Year. Let’s make 2013 ROCK.
