New Years

Yes, yes I know it's just a little bit early to make my list of New Years' Resolutions, but I really felt like making the list now, so I can decide which ones I want to make a part of the 'Big, Fun, Scary Year' over at the NaNoWriMo website. The first 6 things on the list (of 11-so far!) had to do with writing. 2 with revisions, 2 with competitions, and 2 with more general writing goals.
1. Get through first full revision of Ascension and send/give copies to a few beta readers
2. Finish first full revision of Destiny’s Keeper, and decide whether to add more
3. Start rough draft of Reformation, the sequel to Ascension
4. Participate in and win my 4th NaNoWriMo
5. Participate in my 2nd Script Frenzy and not give up half way through
6. Write in my journal at least once a week

I think I might add another one just about writing a certain amount...basically my WriYear goal as a resolution.
Anyways, just thought I'd share these with you.
Hope they inspire you to do more of the same!

Going Wireless!

Happy holidays everyone!
I hope you are enjoying your respective breaks as much as I am enjoying mine, although I will admit I have not been the best at catching up on sleep. I keep staying up late visiting with my sister or, you guessed it, PLAYING ON MY NEW LAPTOP!
That was the excuse last night, actually. I found a version of 'Risk' to play online, so I was doing that till about 2 in the morning, because I can never get real people to play me, so I might as well play against a computer.
Anyways, just thought I'd post and let you know about the upgrade. This should make NaNo and writing stuff easier, because I won't have to sit in the dining room to write anymore. I can sit by the fireplace in the living room instead. Like I am doing now.
Enjoy your R&R!

P.S. I just saw that I never told you my NaNo results. I finished about 8 minutes before midnight. I've since started re-reading the result, and must admit there are alot of things to be fixed. But none quite so massive as some of last year's Ascension issues. And at least it ended at a good breaking point.
