So, how are those New Year's resolutions working out there, Layla?
Last year I wrote:
- Go part time at work
Done! (Although it's kind of sad that the only thing on my list I actually managed to accomplish is the one that results in me making significantly less money.)
- **Finish writing a novel** [starred because this is my Big Thing for '07]*
*I'll settle for just making significant progress on the novel, if it comes to that
Well, if I take the second part of that as my goal, I actually did accomplish it. I just didn't make the first part -- the whole finishing part. I did write a hella lotta words in 2007 -- they're just on a lot of different projects.
- Publish a Freebird book and a Hunter's Moon book
Nope. (Although I'm a lot farther along on the Hunter's Moon book than I was -- basically, EVERYTHING is done except for the actual publishing part.) Since I discontinued the Freebird webcomic, I'm actually making reverse progress on that one.
- Start working on Midnight Sun again
Nada! Haven't even really looked at it. But it's still on the plate.
- Start working on a new Kismet graphic novel
El zippo! (I did get it partly scripted and do a bunch of sketches, however.)
- Start filling in Kismet backstory in the form of short comics
Again -- scripting and sketches, but nothing finished.
- Put a little something in my art/writing workblog every week of the year
Nope. In fact, the original artblog![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
icefallpress has been tragically all but abandoned as I've been doing more writing than drawing.
In fact, it's depressingly difficult to figure out what I did accomplish in '07, creatively. I made an OK amount of money at freelancing, at least by my standards, although thank heaven I don't have to support myself at it, because I'd be living in a cardboard box. But as far as just making spending money and paying for art supplies, I did OK. And I wrote an awful lot, but it's so incredibly scattered -- I have several different novels and several graphic novel scripts in various stages of completion, but I just can't seem to sit down and finish something.
That's my big goal for 2008. Back shortly with a list of 2008 objectives.
