It all began on New Year's Day
Jan. 2nd, 2009 07:05 pmHow is it 2009 already? This does not sound right to me, this being nearly out of the 2000s. Not that I'm complaining, exactly; 2008 was not my best year, and I was more than ready to send it home with leftovers and hope it doesn't call soon. 2009 is shiny and new and full of promise, and I am a fan of all of those things. Welcome, 2009!
I am not a huge maker of resolutions; instead I pretend-make them and then forget them by MLK Day, and have zero guilt over it. I sometimes try to picture my future self and work backwards from there, but that's (pleasantly) impossible this year--December 31, 2009 is past the end of my contract and past the end of my lease, and therefore it is the Black. But it also inspires my one resolution for 2009: to use this time of relative stability to write, and to get my writing out there. I'm content with what I'm doing now, but when it's time to go (professionally or physically or both), I want to be ready. Or, you know, living a second life as a screenwriter/novelist/critic/blogger extraordinaire. So this year is going to be about writing things and about sending them out (to places as yet unidentified), and also about writing for pleasure--writing just to write keeps me limber and happy and reminds me that this is fun. I want, as always, to move forward, and 2009 looks like as good a time as any.

Also, because everybody else is doing it and I'm a sheepy reader:

Oh, weekend. Yay.
