random incoherence and infantile meanderings

Resolutions for the new year:

• Finish “Sword in Velvet”
• Complete two short stories
• Get 50% out of debt
• WIN NaNoWriMo 2009
• Get married on June 21, 2009
• Change Name (again)
• Release a podcast once per month
• Cut back on Twitter and Podcasts – much fun, need to spend more time writing.
• Run an RPG once per month
• Get down to visit Sylver.
• Begin calling her once a month.
• Start emailing her once a week.

That is such a short list, and yet… I get about half way down and start to hyperventilate.  I still need to rearrange the list in order of precidence, but this seems to be it.  This is what I intend to spend my next year doing.

In order to make the time that I am going to need to do all of this, I’m going to have to pretty much reduce my twitter usage and podsumings by about 80%.  I will probably feel a lot more alone (again) from this, but I’ve been spending more time paying attention to all 400 of my twitter ‘friends’ and I certainly can’t keep up with all of the podcasts that I’ve been downloading.  Even with designating the entire 8 hour work day as podsuming time, I still can’t keep up.

The funny thing was how much more addicted to podcasts I am.  With twitter, I went through and turned off sms notifications for 90% of my peeps.  I have yet to remove 1% of the podcasts though.  I guess that a 140 character update just doesn’t compare very heavily with a 30 minute update from someone who’s thoughts I am interested in.

On a different note, I think I figured out the end of “Sword in Velvet.”  I like it becuase it is unexpected, suits my temperment, and opens up a sequel in a drasticly different flavor.  I don’t know how well it will work out though.  If it works, it’ll be awesome.  If it doesn’t, then it will leave any readers pissed off at me.  Heh.
