I’ve never  been particularly sentimental about New Years but I do love the opportunity to make lists and organize. It’s like each year is a drawer full of the things we did, thought, read, and experienced.

In 2017,

• I published my first novel, Vanity in Dust
• Did a bunch of writing and editing on other projects
• Read piles of books
• Wrote a scifi
• Put together half a dozen Ikea things
• Visited my family in California
• Dyed my hair pink (admittedly, I did very little of the work, but I did sit still for a long time)
• Visited New York for the first time ever
• Went blonde
• Turned 30

And what do I hope to put into the drawer of 2018?

• Publish the second book in the Crowns & Ash series, Detox in Letters
• Read all the books piled in my Amazon cart plus all the ones I run into this year
• Figure out how to put screws in that concrete wall in my kitchen
• Find an agent for my scifi series
• Do a bunch of book giveaways!
• Get pastel mermaid hair
• Publish a horror
• Write at least one more book

Wish me luck! And I hope all of your years get better and better.
