I wasn't going to make any New Year's resolutions, and I haven't, but ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
papersky and rysmiel and Zorinth and I were discussing plans for this year, and I said--and still mean, this morning--that I plan to finish at least a first draft of the novel-in-progress. It is cool discussing works in progress with other people who write, and being taken seriously. cattitude is very supportive, but we don't have the same kind of conversations about writing that I can have with Papersky and Rysmiel.
Part of why I'm hesitant to make too many plans is that somewhere in October, I made the plan to do Nanowrimo, figuring that was a plan for November,and it's grown. And it is a good thing that is growing here, but I don't have room for too many good things of that size, especially since I need to either continue to do a bunch of freelance work, or find a full-time job.
There are cons I want to go to, and I will get to some of them, but details depend in part on how work falls out. (And the latest email from Rafiq includes a change of personnel at that end, and a request that we include a list of sources. I'm willing, but I wasn't tracking that as I went, and how do you source "I've known this since I got my degree in this field"?)
(I may write about the Varna exhibit, and navigating on ice, and the Biodome, when I'm back in New York.)
