Well, the year didn’t exactly go like we planned. With three different week-long sojourns to the hospital, numerous disappointments and a variety of ailments, we ended the year in a much better place than we started it.
On the calendar,
– green circled numbers are days that I walked and did the podcast
– blue circled numbers are days I walked but something happened to the file
– red circled numbers are days I didn’t walk
Days with red notations are days I didn’t do what I set out to.
Days with blue notations are days I didn’t do all that I set out to.
Days with green notations are days I did what I set out to.
Days with no notations are lost days. I didn’t even think about doing things.
The middle of the year was a mess as I sank deeper into depression. I got my meds rebalanced in August and by September was ready for the big change in October. Looking at the last quarter, there’s a lot of red but a lot of green and almost no lost days.
The To-Do List has the good news on it in terms of things I set out to do last year.
Under Reading, I still have two novels to record but I cleared all the outside projects off by the end of the first quarter.
Under production, I released three books this year – Hermit of Lammas Wood in January, Owner’s Share in March, and South Coast in November.
The paperback project is almost complete. All six Share books are available in paper now and I’ll have the three Tanyth Fairport books done before the end of the month when I go to COSine to be the Guest of Honor. The only one not set up for paper yet is South Coast. When that’s done, I’ll be caught up.
The bad news was that none of the books that I wanted to write last year got done. I made a little progress on Cape Grace and I’m looking forward to getting back into that one – probably next month.
All things considered it was a year of despair and disappointment for me. In spite of that, I accomplished much of what I wanted to do and many things that I didn’t know I needed to do.
Here’s to a happier and more productive new year!
