Lots of people are doing year or decade in review things; I might do that later. We'll see. Perhaps some forced introspection will be good for me.
Goals:
1. Practice taiji daily. Practice chansijin at least 3x/wk and Four Flowers at least 3x/wk. Practice at least one form per day, and Chen at least twice a week.
2. Exercise at least 3x/wk. I'm not getting any younger, and my thighs aren't getting any smaller. (Quite the opposite, in fact... I've already started wearing the seams out on a pair of stretchy jeans I bought in September. That I wear twice a week. Dammit.)
3. Get a rough draft of Iron and Rust finished by the end of February, then go over it once.
4. Have the first 6k words polished in order to apply to VP.
5. Outline prequel(s) to Iron & Rust.
6. Get my author site set up. (Pay someone to make the design pretty. Too bad Tammy's overextended already; she makes good design...)
Other plans:
1. Read Spiegel.de every day.
2. Write a paragraph in German every day.
3. Review German grammar.
4. Practice German vocabulary.
5. While I'm in Berlin and Vienna/Budapest (6 wks total), have a revised first draft to betas.
6. If my job still sucks by the time I leave for Europe, send out my resume to other retail chains. Hopefully they can give me part time (10-20 hrs/wk) or every third weekend (Fri-Sun.)
Travel & con plans:
January: none
February: Snowshoe?
March: none
April:none Carolinas Writers Conference 4/16
May: Goethe Institut Berlin (4 wks)
June: Vienna, Bratislava & Budapest (for our 10th anniversary) (2 wks)
July:none USKSF tournament? ReaderCon
August: NASFiC?
September: Dragon*Con
October: none
November: Thanksgiving with the in-laws
December: pre-Christmas with my mom's family (probably 12/17-19)
I'll post-date this later, so it sticks at the top.

Have a happy New Year!
