Hello! Happy New Year! Happy new blog post! [Insert ritual self-deprecating quip about not having posted in seventh months, assume appropriate New Year's resolution as read.]
Things I did in 2023:
- Had two new poems published in Eternal Haunted Summer: "Fiat Nox" and "The Curious Incident of the Black Dog of the Night"
- Had a previously published poem designated a Rhysling Award Finalist (but not, ultimately, winner)
- Skated a hell of a lot of roller derby with the BCRD's "Flatirons Phoenixes" (A team) and "Boulder Bolters" (B team)
- Also skated in a mix-up bout in Salt Lake City and was awarded MVP Blocker
- Learned how to cook biryani
- Completed two solo LibriVox audiobooks: Lud-in-the-Mist (Hope Mirrlees), What Dreams May Come (Gertrude Atherton)
- Uploaded a whole bunch of Friday Fictionettes (but not, alas, as many as I should - I'm still behind schedule)
Things I would like to do in 2024:
- All of the above, only moreso; where applicable, on time
- Attend my 30-year high school reunion
- Attend WorldCon in Glasgow
- Blog! Here! Regularly!
- (Maybe make this blog look more attractive? Ye Gods, this post looks like ass)
To those ends, I will:
- Renew my intention to get up on time, that being 7:00, every weekday (thanks, Focusmate!)
- Renew my intention to write every day (and not just my daily freewriting and fictionette work either)
- Renew my passport
That's it. That's the blog post.
There should be another tomorrow. Stay tuned.
