I’ve an overwhelming urge to write horrible poetry to express my growing angst at how very little productive writing I’ve managed this year.

Don’t worry, I’m staving that urge off with copious amounts of coffee.

While the year’s not over, the end is in sight and I’m thinking I’m not going to have time to devote to readying The Silent One or finishing Hunter’s Edge for publishing before it’s over, between our home improvement project, NaNoWriMo and the holidaze looming ahead. Or to cross any other project off my list.

Yes, 2009 hasn’t been the year for my writing I would’ve preferred it to be. Life’s gotten in the way, not that I’m complaining. At least I was able to go see my mom, and it was super sweet of my life partner to surprise me with plans to build a space just for me, in support of my writing efforts.

He’s a keeper, ladies and gents.

Next year, I’m determined to concentrate on three items:

• Katarr Kanticles Press, my publishing imprint
• Writing
• Art & Design work

Other ideas that have been clogging up the old membrane will be tucked away for future retrieval, or allowed to fade away into the dark recesses. I don’t care which right this minute, to be perfectly honest.

I have re-opened my ArtWanted portfolio and am slowly adding my book cover designs and the imagery I think is my best from my seven years’ worth of creating.

Before the end of the year, I plan to sit down and make a graduated list of goals for those items. Let’s see how many I can accomplish before 2011 and my fortieth birthday rolls around, shall we?

I do have one goal to accomplish before the end of the year, and I don’t mean successfully completing NaNoWriMo 2009 (although I certainly intend to!).

It’s a new venue for my writing, which will be attached to the blog here. The blog will become just that – a blog. I’m excited with this idea and a little apprehensive about the results of it. I think it’ll do well, but that pretty much depends on me and the pressure…ooh, boy!

Since I’m not the Best Writer in the Universe and all, you know. However, feedback from readers tells me I can claim to at least be an entertaining writer, which certainly makes me a happy little camper.

By the way, I really appreciate that.

I’d better get back to the laundry and take some Advil for my aching jaw (had a dentist appointment yesterday. Can we say fun?).

Later, gators.
