January starts

The good news is that I have had several interviews with companies that I would like to work for.  So far, though no one has offered me a job.  I am still looking.

The bad news is while my resolution included working on my novels and starting to rewrite, all I have really done is organize my materials in notebooks and on my computers.  But at least I have thought about it.

I am taking some free courses, as while they take up a lot of my time, I have been spending time doing things other than writing.  I am amazed that I actually was able to write 50,000 words at all this year.

I am going to take one day per week and start this week with at least reading through what I have written, then I am going to think about how I can make it better.

January resolutions

My biggest resolution for 2013 is to find meaningful work.

That might mean a paid position or not.  It might be voluntary or whatever.

Writing wise, my one resolution is to rewrite one of several manuscripts that I have started.  I have several novels that I was working on through National Novel Writing Month.  All of them need reworking.

I have several short stories that I could also re-write and send to publishers as well as some research articles that I have done.  These could be sent to places like TECH TRENDS or other technology magazines.

I have several volunteer opportunities as well as my crafts.  However, none of this is actually paying me anything.
