tamlin_kitsuneJust figured it out. For new year's my resolution shall be...
to be neater.
And not in the 'cooler and more hip' kind of way but in the less cluttered type of way. Not the 'put the knick knacks up on ebay' kind of way but in the 'throw away the envelopes that come with your bills because you know you pay everything online anyway' way. Not in the 'cleaner' way because that would imply uncleanliness on my part originally and would also indicate more housework but in the 'throw away the Victoria Secret's catalog as soon as it comes instead of letting it sit on the bathroom counter for a month because you only ever ordered one thing out of it and that was for your Tifa cosplay because let's face it you need a LOT of help in one very physically specific way in that area and we're talking more help than even a Victoria's 'increase your cup size' bra can do for you' and you think everything is over priced in there anyway' kind of way. In the 'do you ever even look at those free recipes you get in the mail', in the 'do you really need all that stationary when you haven't written a letter in over three years', in the 'good LORD! are those Outback restaurant drink mats you've saved?!' kind of way. This year is the year I resolve to have fewer migrating piles of paper, random shirts 'just waiting to have a button sewn back on', and books stacked in bookcases instead of across whatever flat surface I happen to be walking passed at the time.
I would also like this to be the year I finally get a book published.
And a pony. I want a pony. Made of solid gold!

Date: 2010-01-04 04:44 am (UTC)as for the other - looooong story short (yeah, coming from me that phrase is rich) I got an agent (Ethan Ellenberg) and he shopped my book to about 12 of the big names. One (Mira) poked around at it for a while and then decided not to commit. Oh, and the publishing industry's profits went down the toilet this past year. So yeah, there I am! Now I'm looking into self-publishing AND writing another book to see if I can sell that one.
Book one was a historical fiction about Andromache (writers always do such a lousy job with her) set during the late Bronze Age just before the Trojan war. We'll see if book two - set in the far future and totally unrelated - does better ;) I think I need to write it first though - lol
