2009 RESOLUTIONS

One could call 2008 -- The Year Of The Protracted Novel. Alleluiah for microfiction and my Hot Pants friends and my online hideaway that I can drop into and write at moment's notice.

2008 was also the year of getting well, of finding what it would take to have a clear unfuzzy head--out of which arose a sidestep into a couple of MLM businesses--Therapeutic-Grade Essential Oils and Lifewave Patches. Started off doing it for no reason at all and then I began to earn some money which I didn't mind at all. Most of which I have spent, so far, on friends who wanted to use the same products and could not afford it. Good balance to sitting in front of a computer.

Currently reading: Andre Dubus 3 -- Garden of Last Days.
Also on the 'bedside' table: Malcolm Gladwells Outliers, the latest Agni, Atul Gawande's A Surgeon's Notes on Performance, Steven Millhauser Dangerous Laughter: Thirteen Stories...and more

Last finished: Russell Banks The Reserve

Upcoming fiction publications: Online Writing: The Best of the First Ten Years and Action, Yes
