Well, it's that time of year again. And as they say, we writers have to plan and schedule our time. I don't even want to put all my scattered thoughts into a list. Might just overwhelm me but here goes:
1) The eunuch's wife -- A short story based on Joseph story in Bible. I've been thinking about this and it should be a very bittersweet story. Hey, I can't help it. I like a lot of the Biblical so-called bad guys.
2) The Gleaners -- Caribbean Harry Potter slavery story. Janet Lorimer gave me some ideas on this.
3) Inheritance -- novel May-August multiracial love story suspense psychological thriller. I have scenes for this one. Am about 68 pages into it but I've been doing other shorter pieces and just jumping around from project to project. I think it's cause I don't quite have the "voice" for this story yet. But nevertheless...am gonna finish it in 2008 (deo volente)
4) Daughters of Men -- novel based on Nephilim. Honestly! This story is all there. Already finished. Liked. Paul Witcover liked it. Dorchester almost bought it. It's just a mess and even Miss Paula says it needs a lotta work. Why can't I just finish it?
5) Exotic -- slipstream story for Subtle Edens. Have a great idea for a story about a woman's romantic daydreams. Prose poem pseudo-memoir.
6) Send letter to local community college telling them I'd like to teach creative writing there. Janet's ideas are really working in my brain. Just want to see if I can commit to doing this kinda thing. I so hate administration academic issues. How Sylvia does it I never know!
7) Buy a new house. Intend to do this with some money I intend to get from Wind Follower. Hey, maybe a movie deal. Who knows? With God all things are possible.
8) Sell or repair old house.
9) Lose 100 pounds -- Am presently avoiding wheat and trying to drink a lotta water. Who knows? Been 23 years since I was skinny. Back in the day doors would open by themselves as I approached. I was that cute!
10) learn to ride a bike -- hubby keeps telling me he would teach me. Twenty six years and still hasn't done so.
11) publish my non-fiction Bible study via Lulu. I'll still give the free download on my site but I'd like to see it as a book today.
12) Get and accept a ghostwriting job from my friend's agent. That would mean so much committment. But hey, the right job and the right client would be a trip. And hey, getting anywhere from $10,000 to $75,000 for a six month writing job is pretty swift.
Anyone else?

It's been a very long time since I wrote anything on Disability Blogger.

I didn't learn how to ride a bike until I was 12 and haven't really ridden one since. You can do it! If Sam can learn, you can, Carole.
All your goals sound so exciting and attainable.
Have a Merry Christmas and a wonderful, properous New Year!
Good resolutions! Especially get going on that Daughters of Man! If you already have interest in it, that ought to motivate you!
