The obligatory "What I want from 2007" post.

Not resolutions, but revolutions, which is an idea I've adopted from the very charming and talented fashionista_35:

"As I explained last year, resolution was one of the very few words I mispronounced as a kid and for some reason, it stuck. Besides, I like it better. Revolution implies actual change rather than simply the intent to change."

Actual change instead of just intending to change? Yes please. So, the revolutions for 2007 are:

- Write more. Not just GCS, but other ideas that have been rustling around in the back of my mind.

- Get an agent and get a book contract.

- Keep making positive changes in regard to my health.

- Spend more time with friends, no matter how dire work deadlines may seem.

- Help plan and throw events of various sorts.

- Stop worrying quite so much. I'm not going to say flat-out stop worrying, because that's impossible. But getting caught in the "what if what if what if" loop doesn't fix anything, and I WILL break out of that cycle, dammit.

I hope that 2007 is kind and generous to all of us. Happy New Year!

You should talk to Michael Montoure - the press that published his collection of short stories might be a good route for a collection of Gothic Charm School anecdotes.

Don't make me turn into a yenta about this. I will-- even though it won't be pretty. Because honestly, I can't remember the last time I saw my agent get so loopy over a site and author prospect.

IJS...

Hee! One of the things on my To Do list for the next few days is to email her and send her my sample chapters. :)

Eggcellent. I'm especially in favor of the book contract, events, and more time with friends. Gambatte, ne?

So, along those lines when is a good time for you next week? So I can share some tea. :)

Jilli may have time this coming weekend, while I may be bogged down in a deadline.

It works for me. Just let me know. I would love to see you both, but I know that schedules don't always work out.

Trust me, life is so much easier if you give up worrying about things. I wish thedivas could do it too.
