2018: Looking Back and Looking Forward

It’s been a wild year.

Happy New Year 2019 with colorful fireworks

2018 wasn’t always a good year, but it was an eventful one. One filled with changes and new ventures and adventures. Here are a few highlights:

-Bought a new car after being in an accidents

-Started a new job.

-Finished the first season of my podcast, Kaijuvision Radio.

-Attended
several conventions, where I met some great people and made some excellent
connections.

-Started
grad school.

-Moved
to Fort Wayne, Indiana, like I’ve wanted to for a long time.

-Competed in The Winter Solstice, my first real ballroom dancing competition.

-Was interviewed for the first time on the radio.

So, on the last day of
2018, I’ve decided to look ahead to 2019 with a few important goals. I took
some much-needed big steps forward in 2018, and I want to keep that momentum
going. My creative goals include:

-Getting
one or two new books in print (the publishing industry could only be slower if
it was run by sloths).

-Write
a stand-alone novel…

-,,,to
get a literary agent (apologies to my readers who want those promised sequels
soon).

-Finish
my second and third semesters of grad school.

-Host a panel at G-Fest XXVI.

-Hold
3-5 book signings (including at least one at a convention).

-Get
published in 2-3 anthologies.

-Compete
again at The Winter Solstice.

-A
SECRET GOAL I’LL REVEAL LATER THIS YEAR IF IT COMES TO PASS!

Bring it on, 2019! Let’s
do this!

What are your goals for the New Year?
