New Year's Resolution + Year-End Summary

[nekokoban]

RIGHT SO. Happy New Year, y'all crazy folks of the intarwebz! ♥ (So I'm a little late. Only a little, though!)

2007 has gone kind of crazy-fast without really seeming to be that busy: lots of things happened, and lots of things didn't happen. There was good and bad, beautiful and ugly; it was a year in the life. I'm still me, for better or for worse. *g*

And either way, it's over now! Hello 2008! :Db

This year, I resolve:

1. TO WRITE MORE. I was actually a lot more productive this year than I'd realized (see below cut), but I still spent a lot of evenings letting myself get distracted and doing other things instead. I want to be able to challenge myself more, and write things that maybe I'm less "comfortable" with but still like; I want to just GO AHEAD and write the crazy things I've always wanted to but been afraid would be badly-recieved. I'm just gonna DO it, guys, you watch and see. *g* And I want to participate more in things like imaginarybeasts and bb_shousetsu as well as finish the Ghost Story novel, and just ... write more in general! Hopefully with a side of "getting better" along the way. \o/

2. TO COMMENT MORE. Be more interactive! I'm always whining about wanting more people to talk to, so I should make the effort myself! Less being lazy or forgetful, and maybe be more outgoing with new people/ones I don't know so well. I'm genuine about wanting to know more folks, so it's high time I really applied myself more.

3. PROFIT. Method to be determined later. :|b

(I have others, but they're more personal and less of anything that has to do with my online time. *g*)

AND NOW THE YEAR IN REVIEW. Because holy good god, I wrote a loooooot this year. (It didn't seem like that much at the time! It really didn't.)
