New Year’s Resolutions
I have four resolutions this year:
- Become a published author, whether it be a short story, an article for a newspaper/magazine, or a book.
- Learn how to cook! I can bake with the best of them but the art of cooking has continuously evaded me.
- Play the piano every day (this will commence once the piano is brought back out after Christmas decorations are taken down).
- Floss. (Impressively, I am on my fifth day in a row of flossing).
I have joined the Society for Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (scbwi) and am extremely excited for all they have to offer including finding a critique group to join. They have a conference coming up in February in Atlanta, GA that I would love to attend. Unfortunately, the trip would cost upwards of $400 and that just isn’t in my budget right now. Thankfully, more conferences will come up that I will be able to go to.
Currently, I have a few books in progress.
- A trilogy for young adults that I have been diligently working on for a year now.
- After all that hard work, I have decided to take a break and am working on a fun children’s book entitled Rupert and the House that Spews Dragons, although I imagine that title will evolve and change a few dozen times before it is finished.
- I have pulled out a short story I wrote in my second year of college: The Suit.
I hope one of these will make its way to publication this year.
Stay tuned and I will hopefully put up an excerpt from one of my works in progress. 🙂
