[life] 101 in 1001 - Updated Master List
Jan. 1st, 2015 08:35 pmStill working on putting together the master list for my second round of 101 in 1001, but you can read what I've written so far. Writing and personal are the two biggest categories at the moment, and I don't really see that changing, but we will see.
In the process of putting together the first 48 items, I decided what my first solo writing project of the year will be. I'm not ready to share a ton of details yet (mostly because I'm still working that out for myself), but it's a siblings + road trip book, and I think it will be fun.
In other writing news, during December Sarah and I took a hiatus from the rewrite of Talking Dead, but we have scheduled our first writing day to get back to it (this Sunday, because I have family plans on Saturday). I hope our time off was enough of a break; we basically wrote first drafts of five books in 2014, and then half a rewrite on Talking Dead, and we were burning out. We took the time to write some stuff that was just for fun. Now it's time to get back to work. Our goal is to finish Talking Dead and query agents within the first six months of the year (maybe the first three months, depending on how fast we can get back up to speed).
Adventures-wise, Saturday I have a mini road trip planned with some friends to go visit my sister, her husband, and my brother. It's a belated holiday celebration for us, a gift exchange and a dinner, and I think it will be fun. Then I go back to Kansas City for a week to finish packing, and next weekend, I move. It will be nice to have all my things in one place, especially my books and art supplies. Tomorrow, I intend to go get a library card here before I meet up with a high school friend for lunch, but we will see if I can manage that.

[life] 101 in 1001 (x2)
Dec. 30th, 2014 10:25 pmSo back between April 4, 2008 and December 31, 2010, I did that 101 things in 1001 days thing that was going around. Some of them were big things, some were little things, some I completed, some I didn't, but it was an awesome experience. I'm struggling with a lot of changes in my life, and searching for what I want to do next, and I thought it might be a good time to start up another round. (The first one was basically all of law school and the very beginning of my legal practice. Fitting that this is what comes next.)
I'm going to create a master list and will link to it when it's ready, and I hope that I will blog more when I have specific things to talk about. I'm also hoping it will kick my goal setting into high gear.
I'll be doing mine between January 1, 2015, and September 28, 2017 (or so ... I am tempted to make it be until September 30, because I like ending at the end of a month).
So, what kind of things are you hoping to do in the next few years?
