Happy (Not) Ending of the World. Now go Back to Work.

As stated above, the end of 21-12-2012 is approaching. So unless something major happens in the next few hours, we can safely assume that those doomsday thinkers that interpreted the ending of the Maya calender as an indication to the destruction to life or even the world as a bit of the candle. 
Plus I had one conclusion today, as of today I have run in to every single one of the people that were in my class the year Frankie died. And I'm good. :}

Even though I'm a fantasy writer I have always failed to understand peoples obsession with the end. I prefer to focus on the here and now. Even if that means I have a whole lot to still finish. Still working on planning everything for my story's ... never knew so many stories existed over there. I will seriously have to sit down in the new year and draw all of the world maps, that way when I place people at a certain location it isn't miraculously placed on the other end of the continent. Plus clothes, weapons, technology, housing, places and culture will all have to be documented. So I fear I'll have a whole lot that needs to be done before I can really write scenes again. What won't be stopping me from writing random things down, even if there is like a 6000 year gap between the one story and an other. Guess that really is half the fun. :)

Also my snooping about on the MagicTales Forum is really helping me with getting some tips and tricks I never even thought about using but who are most likely great tools to get everything done. And if I don't like them or they don't really help nothings lost.

My dream for the next year is to have at least one short story finished of this world.
Now all I have to do is figure out which of the hundred of stories I'll do. :}

So between these stories and my life as a whole I'll have one heck of a job to do.

New Years resolutions.

This is going to be a first for me as I have never ever dared to plan ahead in life by making a do or don't list.

So lets get started with the ten things I want to accomplish:

1. Make over 100 drawings of OC's and have them somewhere they can be viewed by the general audience be it through Deviantart or any other art community.
2. Write over 100 Story's big or small and have them available for the general public be it through Deviantart or any other means
3. Finish editing my nanowrimo story
4. Finish my cover-art for my nanowrimo story
5. Get my free book print from www.CreateSpace.com
6. Release my nanowrimo Story to the general public either through CreateSpace or any other self-publishing provider.
7. Go out by myself and have a good time without feeling responsible for everyone else in my life, they don't even realize that I'm doing it.
8. Kiss a complete stranger. (I once read somewhere it's easier to keep yourself to your goals if you put at least one in there your allowed to fail in.)
9. Be open for a new relationship.
10. Go on a holiday alone and actually enjoy myself.

Then there are the things I wish to stop. So here are my top three peeves about myself:

1. Stop worrying about what others might think. I don't know where it went wrong but I was a much happier person when the opinion of others didn't stop me from doing things that feel right.
2. Talking myself down. (if this one needs explaining find help)
3. Fantasizing about things that will never happen. There are way to many good things right under my nose that could use my attention.

Let's just see how well I can keep myself up to this list.

Almost forgot the most important part of this post.

Happy New Year may you all have mucho fun.
