Resolved: to write words

December 2014

We made it. A whole year of writing and a whole year of blogging. Pat yourselves on the back. You deserve it. I hope you kept up with your friends blogging there will you. There may be a quiz.
But for now, there's only the last prompt of the year.
     No, I don't- cause I caught all this up in January, like the delinquent I am.

Resolutions:
After your year of writing, you've seen the good and the bad that happen as time goes on. You know your high months and you know your low months. You should know where you are lacking and where you're awesome. Take that all into account and give us five (5) resolutions for your writing next year.

Heh. This is going to be painful.
1) I am terrible at consistency. 

Resolved: to write at least 700 words a week.

2) Plots. Plots everywhere. 

Resolved: to write the dang things down, even if only on a stray sticky note, 

and keep them typed up in an idea project in Scrivener.

3) I read far too much fan fiction this year.

Resolved: Write something to post on AO3.

4) I never seem to be able to focus on one story at a time.

Resolved: Plan for this- use snowflake method for what I'm not working on,

and "multi-track" novels. Because Tatra's Excel spreadsheet is awesome!

5) I never finish anything.

Resolved: Finish one story this year, Preferably Kings Shadow

or the co-written So Funny spin-off.

Bonus: Tell us how you plan on completing each one!
     Um- I think I just did? Now all I need is a writing buddy to keep me accountable and motivated....

Gingerbread Village... Wow, I hadn't made these in years.

     So, today my boss and I made "Gingerbread houses" for the library raffle. I got to her house about 10:30, and we proceeded to decorate for about five hours, with a short break for lunch. There was so much candy.

The first house- I had far too much fun with the roof
and cheerfully overdid the red and green

Also, I added a lean to to the house and "made" a tree...

The house of Gumdrops and Good'n'Plenty- With accompanying dog
(though the younger patrons have informed me that it's a mouse...)

Build #3- Piroulines, Necco, Smarties and S'more Candy corn with KitKats and Andie's Mints.
 Definitely the on I'd most enjoy eating.
There's a marshmallow snow fort in there too, though it's hard to see.

The last house I did. My theme was chocolate and licorice.
That's one of my Boss' creations in the background.

These totally count as art projects, right? ;)
