New Year's Resolutions:

1. Blog more often!

Self explanatory.

2. Read the Entire Bible:

I tried this once before and got bogged down in Sirach. So, this year I'm taking another crack at it!

3. Spend less time on the Computer

Slightly at odds with number 1, but I honestly waste far too much time on the computer and I'd like to change that: read, write, exercise, draw, play violin, and just do all the many non-computer-required things there are to do.

4. Develop a Writing Routine

I've made some progress with this, but there's definite room for improvement.

5. Become Conversational in Italian

Yeah, I need to step up the language studies a lot.

6. [REDACTED]

A private one; I'll let you know if I actually accomplish it.

Another New Goal

Since I've been delaying and putting this off for a lot longer than I should have, I'm making it a goal to have "The Popes" sing-along recorded by the end of June. Which means getting a lot better at guitar than I have been (and it also means finally getting that editing software). Look for that in the coming weeks!

New Goal

I'm announcing a new goal (which I actually set last week, but anyway) of giving myself sixty days to finish the first draft of my next book: The Chronicles of Hendricks. This is a rather daunting task, since not only is Hendricks envisioned as a lot longer than Lepus, but I'm still working on some basic details. There's certainly a lot that I know will be going on, but the story's anchor, its theme so to speak, still eludes me at the moment. Nevertheless, I'm plugging away at it as best I can, and hopefully I'll come up with a good solid truth to wrap the story around before I get too much farther.

The goal is to finish the first draft by July 23rd. Wish me luck!
