Well, for one thing, 2010 was not the non-stop roller coaster that 2009 was. Sure, 2010 didn't have the excitement of a book release or lots of travel, but 2010 didn't have the awful, heart-wrenching lows, either. (Thank goodness.)

What did 2010 have? A job I liked, making some fantastic new friends (hi [livejournal.com profile] cmpriest and [livejournal.com profile] mauraanderson!), getting to visit [livejournal.com profile] pix_kristin, [livejournal.com profile] noisedesign, [livejournal.com profile] queeniex, and [livejournal.com profile] donnaricci, having [livejournal.com profile] kambriel and Curse stay with us, SteamCon and all of that wackiness, and a general upswing in creativity for me. (That upswing also came with an increase in "Oh God oh God, WORDS GONE CAN'T WRITE IIEEE!" panic, but I'm getting better at managing those.)

2010 also some not-so-awesome stuff, like some issues with the house, and multiple rounds of the Plague. But in larger picture, nothing hugely worrying or "DOOM, DOOOOOOOM!", so that's good.

2011! I want to write more often, and with more confidence. I'm planning on sending off a proposal and sample chapters to my agent for a kinda-secret project. I want to update GCS more frequently, write more reviews, and work on more fiction. In other words, stop dithering about writing and actually, y'know, write.

2011 looks like it will be a year of concerts for me: I've already got tickets for 3 different shows (Emilie Autumn and two MCR shows). And events! I'm scheduled for 2 events in January, an event in March, I'm planning on going to SteamCon in October, I am hoping hoping hoping that we can make it to Bats Day in May, and visit the UK. Will we be able to find the budget and time for all of this? Who knows, but there's no harm in trying.

So! I hope all of you have a very good 2011! May it be kind and creatively fulfilling for ALL of us.

You and should meet in fancy IRL next year. That's going to be added to my 2011 goals. *mwa*

Oh, I would love that! One of my hopes for the coming year is that I can wrangle enough room in my budget to commission something from you.

I would LOVE to make something for you. You have so much fun with your clothes which is what I love in a client <3

I can't resist sharing about writing stuffs


For one, a good year to you and happy writing! I like everything you've written thus far and I have faith that whatever you produce in the future will not disappoint. :) Best wishes!

And as for the whole "no words, brain = dflkajflkj" thing that happens, take comfort in knowing that it happens to us all. Sometimes it can be just an off day and sometimes it's your mind telling you that it wants a bit of a break for today. But they never last as long as you're willing to get back to work eventually.

Have a great rest of 2010 and an even better 2011!

All the best for 2011 - and do come to the UK!

I'm excited to see what 2011 has in store! It would be lovely to meet for tea if (when!) you come to the UK. And I may be flouncing over to Seattle in the springtime to visit a friend when I make my way Stateside. :)

New Years always feels like a brand new journal: pretty on the outside with all sorts of blank pages (days) to get creative with and fill with your imagination. In one hand you have last year's journal and you silently vow to do just as good or better with the new journal in the other hand.

Happy New Year and Happy New Journal to you.
