Rediscovering a groove
I just got home from a short vacation where I had almost no internet
access. I cannot tell you how good that felt! I got very little writing
done while on vacation, but the trip did help me get back in touch with
my writer self, and that's just as good for me at this point. I'm
rediscovering what routines work for me as a writer; things that have
fallen to the wayside over the past couple of years. I am digging out of
my rut and stepping back into my groove, and what a good feeling that
is! That said, it's a delicate balance between "researching" and
"procrastinating". At least I got in about four hours of writing before I
got sidetracked to all those pretty websites with all that interesting
information. Today, I call that a win.

Happy New Year!
I hope everyone had a fun and safe New Year's Eve! A year ago today I
was flying home from Iceland. I expect today to be much more relaxed.
;-)
I'm not much for resolutions, New Year's or otherwise, but there are things that I'm excited about today, this month, and in the coming year.
Today: I have black-eyed peas cooking in the crock pot. I missed out on this Southern good luck tradition last year, so I was determined to make it happen this year. I hope it turns out tasty!
This month: I'm back to a new session of aerials and I am determined to accomplish what's needed to move up to the next level by Session 2. (I would bore you with details, but that would be boring--and possibly nonsensical--for you.)
This year: It's the 25th anniversary season for the theatre company I work for and I am beyond excited by the slate we have planned, especially King Lear. *swoon* (Yes, I said *swoon*.) Plus, the Oregon Shakespeare Festival is also doing Lear this year, and I already have tickets to see it in September. Woot!
This year, too: I have two books that will go out of print this year, and I'm determined to get them re-pubbed in a timely fashion. I'm already working on cover art for the first one, so yay for me! I have unfinished manuscripts on my computer that I plan to finish, too. Maybe it's just the sunshine out there, but I'm feeling productive today. Here's hoping it lasts.
Is there anything you're super excited about this year? What delights does 2013 hold for you?
