2010: A year in review
Ah, New Year's Eve. Back already to rear your ugly head, I see.
This is not a time for diet schemes and high expectations for me, so you'll find none of that here. I know a lot of people who use New Year's to get drunk and lament body-fat ratios and ex-boyfriends, but that's not really my speed. So while most people will be out getting hammered in the streets waiting for balls to drop and bars to close, I'll be at home with my notebook and my pajamas, drinking tea and watching the Adventure Time marathon on Cartoon Network. Why? Because I'm an old lady in disguise, of course.
That and I have a bottle of good tequila in my cabinet. Renditions of Bon Jovi's Dead or Alive and Dean Winchester impressions may or may not follow. But that is neither here nor there.
On that note, I'll just leave this right here.
2010
Total stories completed: Twenty-seven.
Stories that I can show in public: Ten.
Total stories sold: Six.
Favorite story: Molly's Entropy, At the Heart of Mina Jones
Biggest accomplishment: Appearing in two anthologies, and being accepted to appear in two others in 2011; appearing in a printed book for the first time; putting together my first ebook chapbook .
Coolest thing: Organizing The Summer Sessions.
Proudest moment: The amazing people I've met along the way, and all the positive feedback and support I've received. I know we're all supposed to write for ourselves and feel good about the work we do regardless of how it's received, but knowing people are out there rooting for you helps.
Goals for 2011
Finish Flesh Trap. Begin plotting the follow-up. Tear hair out. Repeat.
Finish more flash fiction. Try to submit/published more regularly.
Make more headway on my next chapbook project, Seven Days of Casey Way.
Practice, practice, practice.
