I know we're just now creeping up on Christmas, but I've already got my brain pan boiling with thoughts, hopes and plans for 2012. So, bearing that in mind, I'd like to share with you:

13 Things I Have in Mind for Next Year
(These Are Not Resolutions)

1) I'm considering putting Alternate Rialto together with Ask Me if I'm Happy in a single book. Don't know if I'll do it, though. I might do it for a limited time or something. We'll see.

2) I want to ride my bike a lot more. Well, more, anyway.

3) I may try to write a novella. If I can find the time.

4) I will publish 27 Stages.

5) I plan on taking more photos and, hopefully, finding a way to make money off of them.

6) I hope to keep writing guest blogs for other sites.

7) With luck, I'll do another book signing in the US - and possibly branch out farther than Newport this time around.

8) I plan on getting more organized.

9) I will work harder on learning/speaking Italian.

10) I plan on finding new ways to market my work. (I'm open to suggestions if y'all have any!)

Picture
11) I know hard times will come, and I will have to work hard at maintaining a positive outlook - both for myself and for those I love. It'll be worth it, of course.

12) Alle and I have previously considered getting another kitty to keep Sophie company. I'm not sure of the wisdom of that, but I still find it tempting.

So I might have to consider getting some therapy.

13) I plan on having another bash at A Marginal Life (Well-Lived). I'd really like to work out the problems with the narrative and get a saleable story out of it.









As I said, these aren't resolutions or anything. They're just things I plan on doing or am considering making attempts at accomplishing.












I'm sure they'll all see rather varying degrees of success.














But there's one thing I promise I will continue to do.


















I'll keep finding - and sharing - the eyecandy.

And to all, a GOOOOOD NIGHT! Ciao for now!

The eye candy is always welcome.

We had a local artist do an interesting thing with her e-book. She created an event for it. You can read about it on the local newspaper's blog at: http://blogs.roanoke.com/arts/2011/12/sundays-column-e-book-author-inspires-punk-rock-scene-at-roanoke-public-library/

She had a big turnout, from what I understand. I thought it was a unique marketing effort.

These look like awesome plans. I know you can do whatever you set your mind to. Look what you've done already!

I always plan on being more organized but never seems to happen! Resisting the cuteness of kittens is tough - we have one kitty and I plan on keeping that way - so I just don't even glance at kittens (tooooo tempting!) hehehe

happy tt

If you find a way to make money off your photos, let me know. I'd love to do the same.

A good night indeed! *g* I tried to get my bike out more this past summer, but I quickly discovered I need to build knee strength. And acquire new lungs. Merry Christmas!
