8 Lessons and Carols for Godless People [31 Dec 2008|07:28pm] (Slightly pre-emptive) Happy New Year, yous guys. I'm not really one for resolving things, especially when we've just had Christmas and it's nearly my birthday, but if I were going to have a resolution for 2009, it'd probably just be "More words". I actually did pretty well in 2008 in most regards, not least finishing a draft of a whole actual book, but getting more words written is the most obvious way that 2009 could aim to improve on its predecessor. Trying to keep up the daily blogging thing a bit more consistently would be one way to make that happen, so, I'll see about giving it a shot. Maybe it'll work well and really get me creatively motivated. (I give it a month.) Let's make a start now. ( Cut for longitude ) Briefly summarising the rest of the year: Not long after the show, I went back to visit the family for Christmas, which was great, and nobody else turned up for me to have to socialise with, which was even better. And now I'm back, and it's New Year's Eve, which means my one resolution kicks in, in about four hours' time. Since writing the first paragraph of this particular overlong piece of blather, I've decided on my only resolution for 2009 being "More words than last year", and to that end, I've added a layer of accountability by getting myself one of them there Twitter accounts. I'm yet to completely figure out how it works, but my username is writerJames, which I think means that if you go here you can start following me. The plan is to tweet daily updates about how much I've written, and anyone is encouraged to become a follower and poke me if it doesn't look like I'm working hard enough. I like the idea of having followers. They're practically minions, really. Anyway, that's quite enough for this year. 2009's not far off. Good luck, everyone. share and enjoy
