Started the day with working on a short story for submission to an anthology. It stands at around 1,800 words. I believe the minimum is 2,500 words, so I should be finishing it up soon.
Also continuing work on The Foundation, which stands at about 50 percent complete.
For New Years Eve, it'll just be the five people in our house. This is how we normally spend New Years, even in a non-Covid world. I'm at the point in my life where going out to a bar or partying isn't desirable, anyway. We'll have snacks and hang out. Might have an extra beer or two for the holiday.
I didn't set any New Years' Resolutions. Instead, I'm going to continue to work on the personal goals I've set for myself. I continue to refine these as I go:
Developing my writing Business Plan, with a focus on increasing inventory (titles available). I'm shooting for six new titles next year (between novels and novellas).
Submitting more short stories to pro markets, and indie publishing others.
Continuing on a quest to work out 4-5 times a week.
Spending less time on social media, and reading more books. My reading has fallen way off over the past year, and I find myself mindlessly scrolling through social media at times. I used to do the Goodreads' challenge, but found that was just bumming me out and sucking the joy out of reading.
Making time for some art and guitar playing in the coming year, even if it's only 15-20 minutes a day.
That's it for me. I hope you all have a good New Year, and that 2021 brings good things.
