2015

So that happened!

I am not doing the full fic review for the first time IN THE HISTORY OF THIS LIVEJOURNAL, because last year I wrote 853 words of fanfic: The Future Will Be Green, for Mad Max: Fury Road.

It was a good year for me. I had two books come out, PRAIRIE FIRE in the spring and A THOUSAND NIGHTS in the fall. PRAIRIE FIRE had a quiet, but well-received, launch, and NIGHTS, well. NIGHTS is certainly a thing!

I revised three books (NIGHTS, SPINDLE and BEARS!!!), and wrote two (SPINDLE and VICTORIANS), and there's another thing to work on in January that is wonderful and exciting and terrifying. Then it's time to fix VICTORIANS and write proposals. I am not afraid. Much. :)

I read about 50 books, I think. I didn't count them very well. I have one more to finish tonight, and then an enormous stack for...whenever my schedule clears up enough to read again.

I saw five movies in theatre: Jupiter Ascending, Mad Max: Fury Road, Spy, Inside Out, and Star Wars: The Force Awakens. You may notice a theme.

Lifewise, my spine is better. I am not strong enough, but I can get stronger. I'm less tired. I remember to eat. I like food again. I have too many books for this apartment. I still love my bed. I probably need another dresser. I wish cleaning didn't hurt so much.

I am so excited for 2016. My word for 2014 was "yes". I said yes to everything. In 2015, my word has been "focus", and I've done well by it. 2016 is when that starts to pay off. So my word is: breathe.

I can do this. We can do this. Good luck to you.

Further up and further in.

I'm so glad to hear that your spine is better. I hope 2016 will be an excellent year for you, both writing-wise and body-wise.

Thank you! It's slow going (living alone does NOT help!), but it's going! I hope your year is good too. :)

2015 certainly was a breakout year for you and you so deserved it! 2016 can continue in the same way with your continued diligence in regards to your career and overall health - that is my prayer. And, by all means, breathe. Don't sweat the small stuff and stop to enjoy the little blessings along the way.

God bless you and may 2016 eclipse last year in many wonderful ways!

Hurray for a successful 2015! \o/ May you have an equally or even more successful 2016 in whatever area you set your sights.
